Tropical Palms Hotel

The desk and tables all had a sticky film, the floor was slippery, bathroom door had no lock. Overall, the place needs some updating. The convenience of the location was central (30 mins) to a lot of outside amenities.

Building under remodel in some spots but overall for the price it was good. Room was musty at first but Air conditioner cleaned that up.

If you looking to sleep with cockroaches go for it. Using the bathroom a cockroach ran over my foot then when I moved my clothes there were four under them. Black mold in tub. No maid service. Maintenance told me they sold so they aren’t doing any maintenance work. Stay away from this place. I don’t complain much but this place should be condemned.

I had to buy a hotel last minute for the Taylor Swift concert for my daughter and her friend so I knew it would be hard to find a hotel but I liked the pictures I saw for this property and the price and thought ok couldnt be that bad and 20 minutes from Raymond James Stadium. Plus the pool image looked beautiful and the way it was described I thought nice we were lucky. Plus I trusted Expedia, well I'm very upset! The room was awful! The moment we stepped in elevator we knew we were in trouble and it was after the concert at 2 am so exhausted. The elevator was dirty and marked up , so old. The hallways smelled awful and musty. Trash cans overflowed . So dirty and old, never been to a hotel like this, it was awful. Then the room, the floors were slippery and wet, same with the tables, the bathroom was the worst! DISGUSTING! WE COULDNT EVEN TAKE A SHOWER! It was pretty bad, it didn't look like it was cleaned and had hair and the walls looked the same in the tiles. The hair dryer also. The beds felt like there was no mattress and squeaked. What's most upsetting is I was told we couldn't get an early check in bc they were sold out that weekend and had to clean the rooms so couldn't guarantee it but so why wasn't ours clean. I am now glad we didn't check in early , but believe me don't go by the images, not at all accurate. This helped us in a bind but I didn't feel good about this staying here with my family.

Absolutely horrifying. Roaches, blood on the shower curtain, needle/syringe under the bed. Run far far away from this place.

A piece of paper left in the hallway for days!

This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed at in my entire life. No offense, but the pics make it look like a cute, tropical little motorlodge. In fact, it’s a decrepit hellscape. I am very low-maintenance, but: * NO HOT WATER!! * 4 generations of caulking over other caulking, rather than scraping and replacing * No coffeemaker in room, and 1 of 2 front desk coffeemakers are broken. Remaining is K-cup, by request only * Was my room even cleaned? * Terrible WiFi speed; virtually nonexistent * No late checkout * Terribly uncomfortable beds * Common spaces (conference room, eg) looked like a refugee processing center with water-stained drop ceilings * Horrible ventilation in rooms - I woke up early and it was as sticky as sleeping in an RV with the windows closed and no auxiliary power running * Elevator out of order, NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE. How is this legal? * Hotel not walkable; terrible location on busy, noisy highway with nothing around * Reusing RedRoofInn’s WiFi * No breakfast I totally got duped on the photos. As I said I’m low maintenance, but this is like if ex-cons illegally reopened a condemned RedRoof Inn and just pocked the cash. Literally the worst hotel stay of my life in any country. Wow.

Building was attempting renovations.Smelt of chemicals.Could hear everything from hallway (voices, slamming doors, and exit). Poorly lit room probably to cover up damage, dust, dirt, and cockroaches! Wore shoes in the shower which was in disrepair! Couldn't wait to check out!

The room and hall ways are dirty. The bathtub had signs of mold. The bathroom faucet and shower head were corroded. The microwave smelled of Burt electricity and was unsafe to use. The best part of the stay was that the bed and pillows were very comfortable.

The hotel was being renovated. But the renovations were haphazard. From what I saw there were workers renovating two rooms on the main floor. On the second floor, trim had been primed but not painted. The stucco on the walls were patched, but not painted. No one was using the pool. The water was colder than the water at the beach. There was no maid service. I had to ask for clean towels. When I asked for maid service on the weekend, I was told the hotel did not service rooms on the weekend, under their eco-policy. How not changing sheets, putting out fresh towels, or emptying trash would saves the environment was not explained. Despite this I noticed two staff cleaning rooms on the second floor on Sunday. There were no phones in the rooms. I was told the phones were removed for renovations. This could be a problem in the case of an emergency. There was no breakfast area. They had a Keurig coffee maker in the lobby. They wanted $3 US for a pod
