The front desk clerks and the manager were beyond accommodating. When we arrived they were excited to welcome us because we were the first family from NH to visit their particular location. They ensured that were aware of all the complimentary features that were offered which included free Wifi, heated outdoor pool, free continental breakfast, and cable channels. For the... More

There were more pros than cons for my visit to this hotel. First the cons: 1. Located on a busy street. It can be difficult turning in and leaving because of the traffic. 2. Fitness Room leaves a lot to be desired. It is actually room 117 with an exercise bike, treadmill and an elliptical. The elliptical was the only... More

As a mover I find that I need a quiet and comfortable place to call home. The staff is very friendly and I always get the BEST SERVICE from the Front Desk Receptionist 'Jackie Cruz'. If you are in the Tampa area be sure to look this Howard Johnsons up. You will be completely satisfied.

The staff was very helpful and got me checked in without any trouble at all. The room was very clean and actually had a mini fridge, microwave, sink, and two-burner stove. One could stay here on business for an extended period of time and not have to eat out every night. The continental breakfast was very basic but satisfying nonetheless.... More
