The day before the cruise
We stay at the hotel one night because is close to the cruise port and they provide cortesy transportation from the airport to the hotel and for $10 per person, transportation to the cruise port. In general terms is an average good hotel that provide eveything that you need. It has very nice staff. Our room had a bay view and was clean. The sliding door to the balcony was tough to open and close due to problem in the rail. Has a nice pool close to the "sport" bar and the restaurant. Also, have facilites for meeting rooms. The restaurant has a beach style atmosphere We just ate breakfast and was good, except for the orange juice, too concentrate. One funny situation happens to us when arrived to the room; they gave us a room that was already occupied. When we open the door of the room, I found a lovely lady in a bikini and I though Wow! this is what I called first class room service. Really, I close the door so fast that I did not remenber how she looks.

Relaxing
Enjoyed the view and sitting out on the balcony and watching the sun set over the bay. Crabby Bills serves a mean grilled grouper and the hush puppies were to die for! Hotel was very clean and the shower was great.

Best Western!
The hotell is located close enough to the airport but nowhere in the flight path! It was worth the upgrade to the bayview room. we overlooked Tampa Bay with free sunsets and the pool! The room was nice with a balcony, but the only thing i would add is a microwave. Also the beds were only doubles- queens would be nicer. The staff is very nice and acccomodatin also. The restaurant- Crabby Bills was nice, but a little overpriced. But its worth the visit to see Crabby Patty!

GREAT LOCATION
enjoyed Clearwater Beach and left from the tpa internatinal airport very early the next am. the hotel was average, but the restaurant attached, Crabby Bills, was not good at all. The view from the bay side rooms is marvelous and the price was good. No good place for breakfast nearby.

Great Experience!
I really enjoyed my stay. I totally utilized the free shuttle service. They took me to the malls and restaurants and airport and the shuttle drivers were sooo completely wonderful and helpful. The whole staff was extremely helpful and gracious and respectful. I rented the jet ski from the hotel and the young man that was running the ski hut area was so funny and helpful. I was so scared but he gave a great instruction. THANKS EVERYONE!!!! A++++

The international mall in tampa is super cool. They've got every store imaginable and the food is ridiculously delicious. The little NJOY massage salon gives great reflexology.
