Not a Hotel — Read Carefully Before Booking
My experience at Tempo Trek Lodgings in Davenport, Florida, was extremely disappointing due to the lack of transparency about what guests are actually renting.
This is not a hotel. It is a shared house with seven individual rooms for rent. Guests share the kitchen, bathrooms, pool, and common areas. Even the parking is shared, and that is a major problem.
There are only four parking spaces for the entire property: two in the garage and two in the driveway. When several rooms are occupied, parking becomes a serious issue. Street parking is prohibited, and guests are warned that their vehicles will be towed and fines charged at their expense. Getting in and out of the property is also difficult because this is a very busy, gated HOA community with constant vehicle traffic.
The kitchen situation is another disappointment. Although cookware is present, basic items such as plates, forks, and other utensils are missing. Shower towels and other expected amenities are also not provided.
The biggest issue is the lack of transparency before booking. Guests should know upfront that they are renting one room in a shared house, not a private hotel room with the usual amenities and conveniences. They should also be clearly informed about the limited parking, shared facilities, and what is and is not provided.
These are important details that can significantly affect someone's stay, and they should not come as a surprise after arrival.
