After seeing it was a 'Days Inn' I though it would be nice...but I was very wrong. It might state that it is a Days Inn or it might be associated with a Days Inn, but it won't be the Days Inn most people would be expecting. You will easily pass it up because the name is Express something or another. It is run by a bunch of indians (no offense) that don't speak english. When I made the call to get information I had my fiance call back because her english was so bad I didn't understand a word she said. When we got there he went in to book a room and he told them we wanted a queen room. When we get to the room the door is open...which I found odd because we hadn't booked on the phone so they had no idea someone would be needing that room. When I got inside I noticed 2 twin beds. Also half the lights don't work. We had to book a room in an emergency and my fiance had to rush to work so I was left and wasn't able to cancle booking the room. The wi-fi don't work half the time. The worst part is i'm sitting in the room with dirty blankets that have mold or something growing in them along with food on them...they didn't even give me clean blankets. They are also covered in cigarette burns. It gets worse. I keep getting hit in the face with flys and I went into the bathroom and the window was open and there were a bunch of flys on the window. That explained why the door was left open. The walls are banged up with who knows what on them along with a hole in the wall. The smoke alarm someone pulled out so they could smoke in here even though it's a no smoking room. I asked for a room that allowed pets. What really pissed me off is my cats had been running the room the whole time with the window they left open that didn't even have a screen in it. Considering I have a hairless cat and a siamese that cost around $1,500 all together I would have been devastated if one had gotten out. I'm not even sure i'm going to stay another night because it is so bad.

I have been going to the EconoLodge since 1997. I go twice a year and have never had a bad experience. The rooms are clean and well supplied (I get the suite). The pool, sauna, and jacuzzi are very clean also. Courteous staff, very attentive. Prices are great and location is ideal, able to travel to the beach area of to the Tampa area. Close to most attractions.
