was a little hesitant about a H/J but wen't there anyway. When I arrived i was pleasantly surprised by the lobby and lounge area, but thats where the pleasant feelings stayed. Room was dirty and hot a/c did not work properly, called the front desk and was told they would get someone, but never showed up. Had to call back again, asked to be ...

I read reviews before I arrived at the HJ. It scared me to death. When I got to the Airport I called the HJ and within 20 min. Manney was there to pick me up. Gentleman is the name I give him. He is so nice. My room was nice,clean,great view. Front desk, all were nice, helpful & PROS! James the Bartender was so great & pleasant, gentleman. ...

I called Tampa General to find out what lodging was available near the hospital. They said they had a contract with Howard Johnson Plaza. I called the Plaza and was told that there as a shuttle between the Plaza and the Airport, also between the Plaza and the hospital. No hours were given. I got in about 10:50 PM, called the Plaza and was told ...

Only stayed there one night and not voluntarily. The hotel is on the older side so the physical structure is not a nice and modern as other hotels. It is comfotable and clean. The carpet in the common areas could use to be replaced. It is located in a good area not too far from the airport, business district, and entertainment district. And, ...

I normally don't write reviews for anything. this time I was compelled to write something. the service of this hotel during my 3 days stay was awesome. With $85/night I got a van with driver who never refused me to take anywhere within 2 mile radius. Finally although I checked out at 7 am, they were kind enough to give me ride from convention ...

New shower curtain rod but the shower curtain looked like it came out of the 70's and was not wide enough to cover the tub area. Mold in the tub and tub would not drain. During the shower the tub had 6" of ...

The following is the negative and positve:

HJ has the "Slowest" elevator service anywhere I have stayed. The bathrooms were not particualry clean and the exercise room has ancient equipment.

On the positive side, the breakfast service was adequate. The lobby looked nice and modern.

The location was convenient.

I can't believe this place charges there guests eight dollars a day,for overnight parking. Unbelieveable! In addition to that the only thing available for breakfast in the dining area was a 11.99 buffet. So I opted for room service for two,which was o.k. except for the fact that it only came with one set of silverware. We got tired of waiting ...

After reading various reviews that rated this place as lousy I was VERY concerned about staying here for our international conference. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was very clean, the entrance and foyer were beautiful. It offered very close proximity to the trolley system and downtown restaurants and shopping. The bathrooms ...
