This hotel is exactly how other reviews state, great location, friendly staff and in need of renovation. The hallways remind me of dorms...cinder block walls, no windows, poor lighting and terrible echoing. Our room, a suite with 2 balcony's, was bright and spacious. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom really needed updated!! I thought we were going to pull the... More

This is the second time I've stayed at this hotel. First of all, the location is ideal. Only 30 from Tampa Airport, directly on the beach, & within walking distance to stores and restaurants (10 mins or less). The staff is very pleasant. They will acknowledge you with a "hello" in the hallway & are eager to please. They almost... More

I'm very glad we chose this hotel. The beach was large and not crowded. The beds were very comfortable. We had a nice view of the bay. Bongo's bar and grill had wonderful food that was visually creative as well as tasty. Every night people gathered there to watch the sunset.

Wanted to stay here as it was our anniversary and thought that dinner in the rooftop restaurant would have been perfect. Pity that was the only good part of the stay. We had booked a room with a view of the ocean, what we weren't told was that it was also directly above the beach bar that played loud live... More

Returned since we had such a nice time last year. Requested the same room when booked , when arrived we were not able to get it, but Sharon, who was very pleasant and efficient, was able to arrange it. Great location , right on beach. Room clean and in good working order. AC quiet and works well, nice balcony, had... More

My wife and I spent nearly $2,000 for a week's vacation. Our room was a room with a direct beach view on the 9th floor. The view was great, however, the outdoor tiki bar remains open until 3:00 am and even from the 9th floor the noise was enough to keep us awake until closing time. We would have been... More

Come to think of it... dump does not even begin to describe this place. If the dingy musk in the front lobby does not make you nauseous, the dirty tiles, towels, and decor will. The staff was unaccommodating and rude. They over charged us for drinks after tipping more than 20 percent each time. The atmosphere was cheap and poorly... More

We stayed 5/6/13 - 5/12/13. We had a partial ocean view on the 8th floor which was fabulous since you could see beach and ocean forever. It's an older hotel, but no complaints, it was always clean and kept up nicely. The bathrooms are small, but obviously that is not something you can change! The room itself was great! The... More
