Older hotel, nicely renovated. Beautiful landscaping around the heated pool. Room 121 was clean and the bed was comfortable. I brought my own pillow and was glad I did! Keurig in room for morning coffee. We did not check out the free breakfast. Very conveniently located within 15 minutes of Tampa General Hospital. Will book again!

We stayed for 3 days and it was adequate, but would have been fantastic if management and housekeeping would pay more attention to pest control and cleanliness. Room wasn't properly cleaned after last guest and a roach crawled across the kitchenette counter. Wouldn't stay again.

Clean room and lots of parking. Clerks are nice and willing to help. supports early checkin (lucky room is available) and luaggage storage after checkout). The ac is somehow noisy and we smelled (outside of the room, in the hallway) weeds in the morning.

This is not a resort. Don't expect that. The staff we really nice and efficient, friendly. No complaints. The rooms were not fancy, and are a little dated (not horrible) but most importantly, CLEAN!! We were super happy with the cleanliness. Breakfast is basic, and it takes a bit for re-stocking of items when they run out. We would stay again as it is pleasant and rather inexpensive. It's worth it!!

I chose this hotel because it was conveniently located between the airport and cruise port, and it was a good price. The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the hotel grounds were well cared for. The only negative was that we would have had to cross the busy street to get to a restaurant for dinner. But there was a Subway a short walk from the hotel, and the lady making the subs was awesome.
