I gave this an "average" only because of the pool area. It was wonderful. Two pools, one heated one with a ship & waterfall...beautiful. But the rooms? TERRIBLE! Not happy! We checked in to our room & I noticed it was shabby, but we left right away...when we came back I noticed it smelled. Looked around closer, besides the stains... More

We stayed at the Clarion from January 11 - 16, 2012, to visit friends who had recently moved into the University Village complex (0.9 miles from our room!). Our king-size bed was very comfortable, and the room had many more electrical outlets (and most had additional extension cords attached) than the average hotel room, which we found very convenient. It... More

I stay at the Choice Hotel Chain a number of times per year. I selected this location based on my previous experiences with Clarion Hotels in other areas. The lobby area was nice and business center is okay but once I was given my room key then I drove to the location of the room. It has only outside entries.... More

My husband and I had a nice vacation, staying at the Clarion Hotel in Tampa. The room was large, clean and the bed was comfortable. The pool was heated. The inner courtyard was beautiful and made you feel like you were at a resort. The breakfast that was served was excellent. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We selected... More

Great breakfast and location. We selected this hotel because it was near USF, Bush Garden and the mall. The mall is located across the street. We will stay here again. I would recommend this hotel to my family and friends. More

12/31/11 Older hotel with outside room doors. Rooms were fairly clean with what they had to work with. Looks like bathroom has some updating, no hot water for showers. Need new carpet, bed was comfy, older tv's. Staff very friendly and nice. Building needs cleaned and updated! More
