Only stayed first night in Tampa here after late flight from NYC, (thereafter stayed with friends) but could have happily stayed longer. On map didnt realise hotel so far from airport, but actually located to the east? of airport, however the hotel free shuttle bus negated any problems getting to the hotel - especially at 10:30pm. The hotel receptionist was friendly and due to my IHG hotels Loyalty card i was a given a room upgrade to a suite, which included a late check-out next day. The suite was clean and very roomy/ comfortable, tho the in-room aircon unit seemed a little noisy until got used to it. The en-suite bathroom seemed clean, the only problem encountered being the shower water controller was stiff and only ran HOT or Cold. As always, the free wifi enabled me to catch-up on the days email etc. Even tho suite at front of hotel, hotel situated far enough back off main hway not to hear traffic noise, and slept soundly on a comfortable King bed. Next morning Just made the ample free buffet breakfast in the cosy dining room overlooking the pool and river, before returning to room till noon checkout (actual late check-out poss til 2pm). Left a room maintainence (shower tap) card with reception on departure, which was acknowledged by email a couple of days later. The only possible negative for this hotel is its location away from the city which would make it hard to get around if staying a few days without a car.

I've stayed here several times, each time when I've come to town for a football game at Raymond James Stadium, which is just a 10-minute walk. The staff was pleasant. The room was clean. I didn't sleep well at night, but that may be more a product of me being unable to sleep well in a bed other than my own. Overall, nothing fancy, but they have the basics covered. I chose this hotel for its proximity for the stadium more than anything else.

I've stayed here 4 times, and will stay here again next time I go to a Bucs game.

We were relocating to Tampa and stayed here our first night in town since we arrived in the evening. The shuttle service from the airport was wonderful - the gentleman who took was very friendly and welcomed us to FL. The lady at check in was not friendly. We got checked in - our room was clean and spacious. We immediately got changed and headed to the pool with our daughter to relax after a long day of traveling. We couldn't find any pool towels so my hubby went to the front desk to ask and had to wait till the front desk person and another employee finished their personal conversation. After asking for pool towels he got some reason as to why they weren't there and asked how he was suppose to know that and got a smart response from the other employee standing there. They did end up giving him towels. The pool was fine - it's very big and there's a nice sized jacuzzi as well.

After getting back to our room and getting ready for bed we realized we needed extra pillows for our daughter and called the front desk to find out there wasn't any so we were out of luck. We had to call the front desk after 4am because the room next to us had been playing music so loud all night long - thank goodness they did finally get that to stop.

The breakfast was just ok, nothing great. We were disappointed with the lack of service and friendliness from just about everyone.

The hotel stay was just what we needed to relax us for our cruise in the morning.
