“Interesting experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

Spent a night here as it was close to an event we were going to the next day. It is a nice property, in a good location. The place is clean and the front desk people very nice and helpful. The breakfast we had was good.
The interesting part comes in that when I booked this as a gold member; one of the options was to upgrade to the "Presidential Suite" for much cheaper than it would normally cost if the suite was available. Well it was.
The rooms were very nice and the very cool thing was there was a pool table in the room. Would I call these rooms "Presidential;" may be a bit of an overstatement. I will not say there was anything wrong with the rooms, just that my impression of what a suite with that name would look like and what kind of amenities it would have was not in this suite. That being said; I would stay at this property again and if given the chance, would try for same upgrade.

“Great for a short stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

We were here for one night and really liked this place. We felt like we were in heaven after checking out early at the Hampton Inn Tampa/Brandon-- the HGI was so much nicer and surprisingly was $30 less expensive than the Hampton. The grounds around the hotel are beautiful, room is typical HGI, very clean and comfortable, staff is friendly. Breakfast was very nice -- its not included but is only $10.95 with an option for a less expensive continental version.We would definitely stay here again when in the Tampa area.

“Very pretty hotel-nice location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Nice hotel! Great restaurant with good service and food quality. Nice gym and very nice overall look-clean and pretty. Room a great size with fridge and microwave. Mattress too hard and internet connection spotty at best, otherwise really nice stay!

“Sorry for the average markings”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013 via mobile

Most of my hotels are Hilton Gardens.so I do feel I am giving an honest rating "average" .

The front staff is very nice and it seems there are always staff at the front desk so that's great.
As far as the lobby and dining I thought it too awkward to sit at the bar since the bar is set to high for the average person to sit at the bar without feeling you have to reach up to the top to rest your arms.i am 5"10 by the way.

The dining room chairs seem to be losing their stability.two chairs that I tries wobbled from the are and seat joints in the wood giving.
The room I had was very clean and maintained but felt dated from what I am used to in HG's.
From the bathroom to furniture made it feel like a Hampton Inn (same company) then. Business style Hilton garden.

Why stay here? It's clean staff are great and for the area this is a place I would stay again

Why not? If you expect the newer style HG you may feel that it is dated.also they used to have smoking rooms converted to non smoking that that may be another factor in your decision

“Love this Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

Love this hotel, location. Will stay there again, again, and again. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast chef is a hoot. It is a quiet and very lovely place to stay. The dining room is open 7 days each evening, which is nice after a long day of driving. The location is right off I-75 but situated in the trees.
