I have stayed here twice in the past two weeks when in Tampa on a project. This is a nice, new feeling Courtyard. Rooms are very comfortable and clean, free wireless internet is excellent, good TV channels. There is nothing to dislike.

I don't know much about the area to say if this is a convenient location if you are on vacation, but I know you won't be disappointed with the hotel or service.

A friend and I stayed here for a wedding, so it was a quick stay, but it satisifed what I needed. The rooms were very clean and the dark wood gave it a nice cozy feeling. The beds were comfortable and the air worked! (unlike other Marriots I have stayed in, unfortunately)

The pool is nothing spectacular, but there is a hot tub semi-indoors and a gym.

I would definitely stay here again!

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Courtyard in Oldsmar. We had been driving two straight 12 hour days to get there and we were so happy when we arrived. The night before was spent in a roadside hotel in Nashville which was a nightmare but slept anyway as we were so tired. When we arrived at the Courtyard we were told we were the last to check in and the hotel was full. When we arrived to our room there was a king size bed even though we had requested two beds. (I was traveling with my adult son) A call to the front desk confirmed my fear that there were no other rooms available. We made up the sofa bed for my son and switched rooms the next day. For a sofa bed it was fairly comfortable and after our two long days of driving he slept pretty well. Both rooms that we were in were very nice. Both overlooked the pool. Very clean and comfortable. We liked the location of the hotel and the close proximity of the restaurants. We arrived very late in the evening but AppleBee's which is located in their parking lot was still open so we had a quick drink and a bite before turning in. I have stayed in quite a few Courtyards and I have to say this one was one of my favorites. If I am in the area again I will be returning. Even with our room mix up the first night the staff did there best to fix it the next day.

I just spent 3 nights at the Courtyard in Oldsmar for my brother's wedding, and it was (mostly) fantastic.

What I loved:

- No bedbugs (I researched beforehand what to look for, and checked the mattresses when I got there!)

- Insanely comfortable bed. I tried to find out if there's anyway to buy a mattress set (or if they could at least tell me what kind of mattress it was) - no luck. Very, very comfortable - the mattress was firm enough to be supportive, but also had a layer of softness (almost like there was a eggcrate or foam pad, but there wasn't). I slept very well!

- Digital thermostats in the rooms! I don't travel much, and this is the first time I've seen these! Very cool, as you can set the temp exactly as you like it.

- Nice decor. Even in the "cheap" room ;-))) Lots of wood, lots of space to stow stuff. Nice artwork.

- I got the AAA discount, and my price per night was very reasonable.

- Very clean. I'm a fairly picky person, and I didn't have any problems with this.

- Good location, lots of restaurants nearby, and a Publix grocery store just a few blocks down the road.

- Side note: they have "elite" parking spaces (close by, near handicapped parking) that are "reserved" for marriott rewards members. I reserved my room using a Marriott rewards number and got access to the spaces that way (although I don't think they actually check to see who is parking there, they didn't give me a sticker or ask my license plate number or anything).

The only real problem for me was that in my room, the dead bolt didn't work. The door was still locked, and I could latch the security lock (that lets the door open a crack) - but I couldn't dead bolt it. I ended up placing a luggage rack with my suitcase on it next to the door each night before I went to sleep to feel a little more secure.

I reported this the morning after my first night, and was told that somebody would look at it, but there was no followup that I was aware of (it wasn't fixed, and nobody mentioned anything to me). Very disappointing. It might seem like a small thing, but as a single female traveling alone, it was enough to have me bolting awake that first night when I heard anything creak...

If it weren't for the deadlock, I would have given it five stars.

The only other minor drawbacks were that the towels were a bit old/scratchy feeling (but clean), and the restaurant that they use for their "delivery" service (Applebees, right next door) is really terrible for vegetarians. I found one item that I could order, and it was awful (I threw it away). Not the hotel's fault though, but it would have been nice to have some information on other nearby restaurants that would do deliver, since the hotel doesn't have room service.

Overall, I'd stay again.
