Nice one night stay

Stayed at the hotel one night, great room, clean and comfortable.Room service and minibar price out of this world, so eat and drink elsewhere if possible. Shuttle from the airport was fast after I had to call a second time for it. Overall good hotel to stay.

Nickel and Dime

For Tampa, this is the best hotel that I Have stayed in, but you can go across the Bay and stay at the Carillon Hilton for half the price. Between $18 daily valet and $30 breakfast of eggs and toast, not worth it. If I am spending that amount of money I want a water view room and a spa.

Very Disappointed

I stayed here as well as several family members in different rooms. The front desk staff was rude except for one person I dealt with upon check out; the rooms were very hot and uncomfortable; staff walked into my daughter's room (she is an adult# and questioned whether she belonged there... it was an overall bad experience not just for me, but everyone that was in my party #6 separate rooms)

Disappointed

Staff at checkin was snippy and curt. A simple query was dismissed out of hand. The room was clean and serviceable,however the fact that the refrigerator was fully stocked by the hotel not allowing guests access without incurring a steep restocking charge, makes one wonder if the hotel management is concerned about the comfort of its guests.
