Quality Inn near Six Flags San Antonio, Tampa

Update from my 2010 review: Hotel still has attraction of good location, fridge/micro in room, walking distance/short drive to eateries, grocery store, shops, stadium, etc. Rooms are showing its age, but everything functional, with no crawling bugs, or untowardly odors. There is even another building besides the 300 building partially completed in the back section by parking lot pool. Yet I'm reluctant to endorse this hotel due to the incompetency of the front desk folks. Most of my gripes were corrected, but it was aggravating to have to bother in the first place. From the start: 1) Upon check in, front desk did not have my reservation. Couldn't find in stack of papers, even after providing them my confirmation number. Fortunately, was able to get room. But.... 2) In the course of the 20 plus minute wait to check in (2pmish), 3 guests came by saying they were locked out of their room. One of the parties was doubly agitated about not getting king bed they reserved on top of getting locked out. Apparently, front desk doesn't know how to program keys- this happens a bit after 1p in some hotels. 3) Clerk runs credit card, with weekly charge on it, but sheet only shows me staying one night. I point this out, clerk gives me cancellation of charges ticket, runs my card again. Upon checkout, get proper itemized summary thinking all is copasetic................. 4) Meanwhile, I get locked out of my room on 2 subsequent afternoons after 1p. After the second time, I contact hotel mgr, and give him my frank opinion, including alternative lodging plans. I have no more lockout problems remainder of stay. 5) Re, #3- Upon getting my credit card bill, I notice that I've been double charged for my stay. Fortunately, CC Company sees things my way, and duplicate charge is subtracted from my bill. Prior to this visit, I'd endorse this hotel for anyone staying for nearby sporting events, or a leisure traveler wanting a basic extended stay place. Now, I'm relustant to do so until present ownership gets their act together

We had written a review on this awful place just a couple months ago and for some reason it is not here. Two words: Terrible & Beware!!!!!

This was the nastiest hotel I have ever been in. This hotel needs to be shut down.Nothing worked.Changed rooms 3 times. Had bed bugs.Some people were bitten. Now I am a beleiver that you get what you pay for. This is a good case of false advertisement. Once again this place should be shut down. CG

The room was not good. The edges of the carpet were really dirty and the bathroom was horrible. The floors had not been mopped or even swept in a very long time. The bathtub was dirty with mold around the tile. The fan was filthy--with a thick layer of dirt and dust that had not been cleaned. The hotel was convenient to the Tampa Airport and offered a shuttle that was quick, easy and efficient.

Two years ago we stayed at the same place. It was nice. This time we moved 4 times and the fourth time was to be in the new remodeled rooms. If they were remodeled and were to be complete then they got ripped off. Wall paper was falling down, showers were not working, carpet had paint stains on it, ants, etc. But the worst part of all was there was a prostition ring going on in between our rooms. Every night for eight days that we were there. A women coming out of the room completely naked grabbing a man by the hair and saying some words. Also seeing a women coming out of that same room counting her money and then heading across the parking lot to another balcony where to black guys were watching the room. She talked to them for awhile came back down and went back into the room.

What a horrible way to start our vacation! The 'complimentary shuttle service' ended up us being directed to an airport shuttle service which was not going to leave for 30 minutes after I inquired about getting a ride to the hotel. I called the hotel and they said if we took a cab that they would pay for it. At least they did that. We get there around midnight and had reserved a non-smoking room. What forgot to reserve the non-deceased person smelling room! This room stunk to high heaven! There was so much mold on the ceilings and walls of the bathroom that my wife refused to take a shower in the morning. The kids were so tired that insteasd of complaining about the room, we just went to bed. My wife swears the bed sheets were not clean. The continental breakfast was not too bad, but that didn't make up for the quality of the room. We were going to stay there a week later before flying home, but we cancelled that reservation. At least the staff was friendly at the front desk, but they need to do some serious work IN their rooms.

The room was a decent room for a reasonable price. The management was professional, friendly and accomodating. Great location near the airport and the stadium.

Rooms were clean.... Hotel is extremely convenient to both football stadium and airport. Numerous restuarants w/in 1mile radius. Just a quick taxi ride to downtown Tampa and or Ybor City.

Even at the discount price I expected more than this room offered. It was badly in need of paint and minor repairs. Of the four lamps in the room, three did not work. The remote for the TV did not work. The fridge was in a perpetual defrost mode, and was rusting inside. Water pressure in the shower was low - and look out if the person in the next room flushes! Thank goodness the bed was fairly comfortable! Service? The front desk personnel were efficient enough, though not at all responsive when issues with the room were brought to their attention. Each morning I was awakened by a knock from the maid despite the "do not disturb" indicator. Make sure you bring your cell phone and keep it charged. That will keep you from having to pay a phone deposit and pay their ridiculous rates. The in-room safe is extra cost. In the future I'll pay a little more for a better hotel experience.

I've never heard of a hotel with so many restrictions after paying the price to stay. No phone service unless you put a 20.00 deposit, then the calls are .85 plus several taxes and fees. I had to walk all over the property to find a housekeeper who would give me a wash cloth!!!! One staff member at the front desk was very rude. The add says coffeemaker in room. I'd like to know where it was hidden!!!!!!
