Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms had a mixed experience - while the new vinyl plank flooring looked stark and the AC unit was leaking with no bathroom towels, the service was exceptional, with very caring and accommodating staff. The convenient location, although outside of the bathroom, offered great amenities like a hot tub and pool. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with delicious dishes but needing more parking space.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and the staff, although friendly, could have been more customer-focused. The location was convenient, and the hot tub and pool were great amenities. However, the restaurant service was subpar, lacking in quality.
After a fancy dinner at the University of Tampa, my stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, featuring a large sofa perfect for gathering with friends. The service was mixed, with some staff members being very helpful and polite, while others seemed distracted. The location was convenient, close to the Tampa airport and a variety of dining options. However, the dining experience was average, and the hotel facilities could use some improvements. Despite these minor drawbacks, the value for money was decent.
