Hotels near Dade City's Wild Things, Pasco County

My wife and I were visiting the Zephyrhills area with my elderly parents. We reserved two rooms at the Roadstar mainly because of the number of positive reviews. We were not disappointed. Check in was easy. The gentleman at the front desk was polite and helpful. He suggested a parking location that would facilitate easy access to our rooms. He also informed us that bag breakfasts (darn COVID) would be available in the morning. The rooms were clean and pleasant. Some of the furniture showed wear but everything was functional. Then bathroom and sink areas were clean and had all the expected amenities like hair dryer, toiletries, etc. the toilet/bathroom was small but not difficult for us. There was a fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room. Didn’t use the microwave but it was clean and appeared to be functional. We were pleased by the well-kept grounds and public areas. The lobby was clean and well-appointed. Coffee and juice was available in the AM. The pool area was clean and had plenty of chairs & lounges. The pool itself looked very nice. We didn’t swim so I can’t address the temperature. There was a designated smoking gazebo located nearby but far enough from the other public areas that smoke wasn’t a problem for us non-smokers. There was another gazebo with a four-person glider which we enjoyed with an evening beverage. Overall, We were very satisfied with our stay. It was one of the nicer properties of its type that we’ve stayed at.

Holiday Inn Expresses are our default hotel choice and this one, being in Florida and a relatively well-travelled area, met all our expectations save for ONE glaring issue. We got in around 8 after driving all day and decided to take the front desk’s suggestion and exercise the 20% discount at the TGI Fridays within walking distance. Since we hadn’t been to one in 15 years we decided ‘what the heck?’ After returning from dinner feeling no pain, as they say, we went to bed without really scrutinizing they room. In the morning, once we were a little more lucid, I noticed the toilet I was sitting on had some MAJOR issues. As someone that’s renovated a couple houses I’m pretty comfortable in my theory that this toilet was probably rescued from a bathroom AFTER it it had been demolished. The seat was stained, marred and scored and the porcelain rim had chips in it. All this was noticed after we had been using it the night before and that morning. A toilet seat in this condition can not be properly cleaned and I felt pretty disgusted that we had used it after taking showers and going to bed - pretty much felt like I needed another shower after seeing it. How does something like this happen? How could such a key component of a hotel stay be in such unacceptable condition? Otherwise the facility was well-kept and comfortable. The only other quibble I could muster is the air conditioner being a little loud, but it’s Florida and they get worked hard. We’ll still keep going to HIE locations but this was probably the biggest fail we’ve ever experienced at one.

Me and my wife arrived in Tampa after a long drive from Boca Raton Florida. We booked a room with a Kings size bed on Priceline and was very excited to get to our room. Upon entering the Hotel at approx. 1030pm on 5/5/2022 we noticed the Front desk was empty. So we decided to have a seat and wait for someone to come help us check into our room. We waited for a good 7-10 minutes before we saw a woman walking across the lobby from a dark lit area slowly taking her time as she approached the front desk. There was not any pleasantries or any welcoming or inviting facial expressions or words, Just can I have a drivers License and credit card,after I had said we would like to check -in we have reservations. She looked up our reservation told us our room number and that was it. Upon riding the elevator we noticed she never explained anything about the hotel or how to get on Wi-fi or any of the normal conversation you would normally have upon entering a hotel. we just shrugged it off and looked forward to sleeping after a 4hour drive. When we entered the room it had two single beds? We called the front desk and said we have a reservation for a king size bed we have 2 single beds. At which time she became annoyed and explained that was what they had available right now. She said if you want a King size Bed I can put you into room 126 on the first floor. I agreed and went to the front desk to turn in my key and pick up another one. When i walked up to the desk she was having a personal conversation and ignored us for a time until her conversation was ended. The was not a customer but a friendly conversation with a person she knew personally. When she finished the conversation she made no eye contact nor any conversation as much to say she was not happy to help us or even act politely and professional. When we get to our room 126 it has a terrible odor. It was a room that permits smoking and did make it hard for me to breath since I have asthma . My wife wanted to complain but I suggested that its better to just accept the room since she is looking for confrontation it seemed. This was a horrible experience. Upon checking out we mentioned to the front desk what had happened. Our confirmation number was., 3253066336

Great customer service Michelle is great at the bar and Chef Chris food is amazing!!!! I had the ribeye steak mashed potatoes and veggies cooked to perfection. The hotel is very clean house keeping does an amazing job. I hear for at least 2 weeks at a time so I would also love to see a little more variety on the menu so I can eat in and not go out.

This hotel was convenient for a stopover stay while traveling. Free parking, with plenty of spaces. There are a couple of restaurants near by if needed, there is also a Starbucks less than a .25 mile away. The room was clean, the staff was polite and friendly. The bed was a bit firm, not the best sleep but not a deal breaker for this price point, that is expected. There are 2 seating options in the room, other than the bed, which is convenient for eating. There is a nice outdoor sitting area with hammocks and seating both with shaded areas and unshaded areas, that is a plus. There is a little area to purchase snacks and a few sundries near the front desk if needed. A car is needed for this location, a few shops near by but not really walkable. As for the room, it felt damp, the bed, towels and even our things started to feel damp. The explanation was that this is FL. As I lived in South FL and North FL, I don't buy that. There is an issue with the AC system. But for one day stopover not a deal breaker. There is only one elevator, which was inconvenient during peak times. This one elevator is utilized by staff with carts as well guest trying to get breakfast and guest checking out. Other times the one elevator was not an issue. There are only 3 floors in this hotel so the stairs were an option. In the end, the value was there for this location. Budget friendly find!

Service level beyond Hampton standards and above the top tier Hilton brands.....Lindsay provided an overview of all of the amities, hotel layout, breakfast (breakfast was ok) and features of the hotel. We had a pizza from lunch and when we checked in, our room did not have a fridge. I asked Lindsay if she had a room with a fridge and she promptly moved me and helped move me and provided a cart and made it super easy. Very impressed with her service level

Check in and out was easy. All employees were friendly and helpful. Any requests were handled right away (extra towels, refill for conditioner, etc...). The room was clean and comfortable. Was nice that living area had separate temperature control from the bedroom. There was 6 of us, the ones that liked it cold, slept in bedroom, the ones that wanted warmer slept on sofa bed. The kitchenette was nice, and a decent sized refrigerator and freezer was a plus. The pool area was clean and well kept. One pool was heated, the other not. Hotel was busier on the weekend than weekdays. Pools still had plenty of room for all. There were grills for use, if you desired. Breakfast was good, the usual buffet for suburban locations. Do need a car, or could Uber, but nothing is a long drive away. The only disappointment was on weekdays, they didn't have coffee out round the clock. We checked out at 2:30 am to catch a 6 am flight and return car rental in Tampa. Coffee especially that night would have gone along way. You never know when people will check in or out, be up super early or be up late. Coffee should be available for those people. Small complaint for an enjoyable stay. Will definitely stay here again . I visit family there a few times a year, and this will be my go to place.

Although the room we stayed in was very clean, and the beds comfortable, the hotel is showing its age. The tub had chips in the porcelain, and the shower curtain was hard to close to prevent the floor from flooding when showering. There are not enough plugs in the room for all our electronics, especially since the USB ports in the lamp between the beds were not working. Also, one of the elevators was out of service. The breakfast had a lot of choices, but the eggs and biscuits were out when we got there and it took a bit before it was replenished. Because of that we chose the cheese omelets, but they weren’t hot and were chewy. The sausage links could be improved due to an extremely tough casing which was difficult to cut through. The pancake maker was a nice addition. The employees at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. I gave 4 stars because the room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the employees friendly and helpful.

Everything is perfect! Especially the restaurant in the castle! The people at the front desk are so welcoming and nice! The downside is that the house is too small and it is not easy to put luggage!

So clean. Everyone was so accommodating and nice! Awesome breakfast too! Would highly recommend!!!!! Got cuz the ac went out and felt like a mini vacay!! 10/10 would recommend! Because the ac went out we were very frustrated and they made everything better!!! Thank you again!!!
