Very Nice Clean Rooms and Friendly Staff
The suite was spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of choices. The pool was very relaxing and the hotel appearance was pleasing, I only gave 4 stars because two elevators were out of service on our 2nd day. Only 5 minutes drive to Busch Gardens. I will definitely stay here again.

Good but expensive
I thought the hotel was nice and in a good spot for what I wanted to do while in Tampa. It was pretty expensive and add $12 a day to park and at some point I felt like I could find a better deal elsewhere and probably will the next trip.

Excellent Stay
The service was excellent and attentive. The breakfast was delicious and served with a smile. The staff was accommodating when we needed a place to meet. The elevators were quick, and the room was clean. The walking paths to the west of the hotel were great for a morning walk. I would stay here again.

This was an amazing stay. From the people at the front desk, to the people maintaining the beautiful common areas to the cleanliness and spaciousness of our suite, it was a 10+.
We also had a simply stare at the breakfast options. Have you EVER had a free breakfast where they made an omelet especially for you? AND had a social hour with snacks and a complimentary cocktail? If not, then give this place a try and you'll make it home for your travel.
