Another great rate from Hotwire.com but I “got what I paid for” because I honestly did not have a good time at this hotel which by the way is owned by Wyndham Worldwide. The building is OLD and it showed in several places. The elevators were slow and made weird noises, key cards had to be reactivated twice, the T.V.... more

My wife and I spent a week at this hotel. The hotel is in a very nice location just next to the Performing arts centre and is right on the bank of the river giving a very nice view of the river and the Tampa Skyline. The staff is very helpful. The breakfast buffet is wholesome and tastes good -... more

Based on the previous reviews, I was very worried about this hotel. It's not even close to as bad as the reviews would have you believe. Yes, the hotel is outdated. Yes, there are some serious flaws with the rooms (carpet that doesn't reach the window wall??). But the service I got was very good. Everyone was very friendly and... more

Warning to anyone planning on staying at this hotel: This hotel is infested with bed bugs.. I woke up with bites all over my body. I have dealt with them before, they are no fun to get rid of. We found them behind the bed board. Please be warned that if you stay here the bugs could get into your... more

I Stayed at the HOJO for 2 nights before the FL Bar Exam. I would not recommend this location for those wishing to be close to the convention center. Although the stay was friendly and the lobby was nice the rooms themselves need serious work. The walls in my room were coming apart and the shower head was broken. Even... more

This was the destination for our Corvette Club monthly breakfast run and the hotel restaurant did not disappoint us. They were fully prepared for our 10am (reservations) arrival, the tables were set for us with full orange juice at each place setting. The restaurant was very clean and the variety and quality of food was great. They all did a... more

We stayed here two night, pre and post cruise. The hotel was very clean, nicely decorated, front desk service was excellent. The location is next door to the Arts center, with several restaurants three blocks away, as well as a free shuttle within a 2 mile radious of the hotel - very convenient. We reserved the cruise package which included... more
