“Very convenient to Ybor City & Fairgrounds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013 via mobile

Nice clean hotel. Very close to fairgrounds. We were visiting Tampa to attend a cheer competition being held at fairgrounds. Also close to Ybor City which offers great nightlife. Friendly staff. Felt like a very safe area.

“Don't believe "hotel shuttle"”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013 via mobile

The rooms are very nice. But being here on business and believing the front desk when they say they will take you to the convention center or anywhere within the six mile radius it is a lie. They have made me late every day. And flat out kept me waiting two hours one night which I finally took a cab. They never did come get us that night. So it is a very nice and comfortable place but the shuttle WILL NOT get u where or when you need to go. No apologies, somehow it's my fault. I'm not the one who keeps making promises that can't be made by staff. Too bad my whole view of the hotel is overwhelmed by this.

Thank you for your feedback about your recent stay with us. I sincerely apologize for the problem you encountered with our shuttle. This is not your fault, and I understand how overwhelming this could be. Our shuttle is a complimentary service, that is based on availability, and we do our best to get our guests where they need to go as soon as possible. However, the timing can get off track sometimes due to the business we get, and I am very sorry that it made you late in this case. I can assure you that I will work on ways to improve this service. Despite the shuttle, I am glad your room was clean and comfortable, and I hope you will give us another chance, should your travels bring you back to Tampa.

“Don't expect the "free" shuttle to pick u up!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013 via mobile

We were told when we booked that there was a free shuttle that would pick us up and drop us off at the convention center downtown. That was why we chose this hotel. They dropped us off ok but when we tried to get a pick up they said 15 min. 30 min later no shuttle so we called back, they said we r on our way be there in about 10 min. No one came. We then found another couple waiting (who had called 30 min before we did)..... Five more phone calls were made , the hotel said "we are on our way 10 min or less" and two hours later we got a cab. The hotel then called us back finally and asked where we were because they were leaving to get us. TWO HOURS later and 5+ phone calls and they still hadn't even left the hotel!!!! Liars!

Thank you for your comment on your recent stay with us. I deeply apologize for all the issues with the shuttle. We offer this as a complimentary service, that is based on availability, within a 6-mile radius. This can cause a back-up sometimes, especially with special events in the area, but we do try our best to accomodate everyone as quickly as possible. I completely understand your fustration from waiting for a long period of time if they told you 10 minutes. I will certainly address this with my staff to make sure this does not happen again. Thank you once more for your feedback, as it is only the comments from our most valued guests that we can continue to improve!

“Very Hard to Find!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

The staff was exceptionally friendly. The room was very small but nice and clean. The pool area and hot tub needed some attention. The water level in the hot tub was very low and it did need a cleaning. The pool just looked old and tired.There was a car in the fire lane with a flat tire, we were there for 2 nites and they finally moved it on the last day. It just does not give you a good feeling about how the hotel is managed.
The breakfast was great though and their coffee was the best I have had other than Dunkin Donuts!

“Hotel nice, location lacking”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

The staff was very nice and friendly. Parking easy...once you found you way around the world to get to the hotel. The hotel is right next to the highway, so traffic noise is noticeable. The room was nice and clean, but a leaky toilet dripped, dripped, dripped all night.

Thank you for your feedback about your stay with us. I understand that the highway noise can be very noticable at times, but next time if you request a quiet room, we would be more than happy to do our best and put you on the parking lot side. Also, I do apologize about the toilet dripping and I hope you were able to sleep through the night. Anytime a problem in the room occurs, just let the Front Desk know and we can send up maintenance or switch you to a different room. I am very happy to hear that our staff was friendly, and we all hope to see you again should your travels bring you back to Tampa!
