Rodeway Inn Fairgrounds-Casino

"You get what you pay for. I saved a couple bucks on a cheep room and that's what I got. Clean sheets and blankets, ample toilet paper, abundant soap and shampoo. The rooms could use a deep clean, built up dirt in the corners, on light switches etc. I would also recommend a fresh coat of paint. I slept well. And that's what really matters when you are traveling on a budget."

"This place should definitely not be in business, imagine paying so much a night to find out that the room you booked is completely trashed and infested with roaches… the rooms look like they haven’t been cleaned in weeks, and everything in the room is broken, no wifi and it stinks. Here are the pictures of how bad this place is and it is worst in person."

"As a Choice Member; I’d definitely like to say…. This hotel needs to be condemned. The Rodeway near Ybor I’d rate better than here. First off, when you first get here and see trucks… you already know what to expect. That wasn’t a bother. It’s the many thugs and crackheads/baseheads that are out there on ONE SIDE of the hotel. And they were standing by my room, watching every move I made. I entered my room with children and saw nothing but a couple roommates (roaches) scurrying across the baseboards by the beds. Quickly took advantage of that 15 minute grace period to swap rooms. The hotel receptionist was very understanding in this regard. Next room I got you could tell was cleaner. This side was quieter. Only thing that concerned me was the bedding and the open a/c unit; revealing the condenser etc. As this is an old building, the cracking of walls etc definitely needs addressing. Definitely kept videos and photos of this. Only here because I’m a service member and awaiting final details on my home. I happen to have been drained this day and chose Fairgrounds Rodeway instead of my usual. I think Choice should remove this hotel from its catalog until the fix this hell hole. I’ll tolerate the Ybor location. Though I feel like they half a** clean, I have comfort knowing I can just wipe a couple door handles and sanitize the toilets myself than what I’d have to do in these rooms here."

"THIS Was the nastiest place there are not any smoke alarm or phone. The beds were not clean. I even went down to get someone to change the sheets and the night shift person. TOLD ME I NOT AT A 4STAR and if I want the bed changes. Here are the sheet. Why yes I took then I would never stay there. And say beware of you do. This is a 0 for cleaning 0 for all others. NASTY. The only reason I stay is because I booked thought Priceline and they would not give my money back. Yea I should have but I sleep with 1 eye open never again."

"This was the worst stay. The heat didn’t work and it was a time it was very cold. I went to call front desk yet no phone. The towels had black stains on it and the valves in shower was backwards so hot was cold and vice versa. The walls were cracked and very old furniture. Had finally front desk guy come up with new towels and told me the heat was that way and valves were backwards in shower. He was very nice. Next day manager said he could do nothing. This hotel should not be on Choice Privilege’s site at all. It is a seedy motel. I randomly booked it as I just got off a late flight thru Choice hotels. Pass up this slum."
