This was the second time we have stayed here in the past two years. This is not necessarily a destination hotel but it is a great place to stay between arriving in Tampa and departing on a cruise! The Super Shuttle will take you from the airport to the hotel for free (we had to wait only about 15 minutes) and if you're cruising it will take you from the hotel to the port for ten dollars per person.

The hotel was clean, the staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was good. There seemed to be coffee available at all hours and fresh, warm cookies were proffered upon our arrival. There was a nice pool area with a hot tub outdoors, although the water in the hot tub didn't seem very hot. There are a few restaurants nearby. We ate at "Pollo Tropical" which is about a ten minute walk west on Waters Avenue (a very busy street but with sidewalks). There is also a Target and a Wal-Mart within walking distance if you need to pick up any last minute items (wine) before departing on your cruise. OK, I assume you're cruising... you ARE aren't you? :-)

This was a great place to stay! Clean, safe, and quiet! The only thing that was a little concerning was the poor girl at the front desk was managing EVERYTHING! She was checking people in, answering the phone, cleaning dishes from the breakfast, and making food for the breakfast. Monica was her name and she did everything with a smile on her face, but it was too much....and unfair of a manager to schedule just one person...she even was the one that had to come to our room and try and fix the tv! I hope they schedule more people and this was just a fluke because it is certainly unfair, and they will lose a great employee...
Excellent place though! We will be staying again!

We arrived late in the evening after a ten hour flight to be warmly welcomed by Paul Romero, who swiftly checked us in, and upgraded us to a larger suite.
This hotel appears to be quite new, and is well appointed, and the Wifi works well, although there is also a computer and printer available for use in the business centre.

The complimentary breakfast should satisfy most needs, and there is also coffee available throughout the day.
The majority of the staff are very helpful, especially Harry and Charles.

There is not much else around the hotel, although there is a burger type joint about five minutes walk away, and a sandwich bar two minutes walk to the left which serves great sandwiches and soup, but unfortunately closes at 14:00 hrs.

Only about fifteen minutes from Tampa Airport, and although the Super Shuttle is complimentary, the wait can be up to an hour, a twenty dollar taxis may be a better bet.

My wife and I were very happy with our stay at this hotel. Our room was very nice and clean. The staff was helpful and nice. The hot breakfast was good and came with real plates and utensils. Over all a great hotel. Thanks.
