No jacuzzi

The discription says that the hotel has a heated pool and jacuzzi. The pool is not heated and there is no jacuzzi. Other than that the hotel is fine and the staff is nice.

anniversity getaway

The young lady that checked us in was very nice, because they had no nonsnmoking king, she upgraded us to suite, which was a very nice thing, we did not complain about the carpet being wet in the sitting area by the air conditioner, because we were only there for 1 night, the room was primarly for sleeping, the bed was quite comfortable, lien clean, and there were ample pillows. The breakfast was nothing big, but it was nice to have and not have to pay for alight meal, I think once the get the carpet cleaned and fix the AC this will be a great deal for the price, It was notso bad we booked a 2nd

Family Getaway

The location of the hotel was great. Literally right across the street from Busch Gardens, within 10 minutes of major supermarkets and stores for shopping, and about 15 minutes from the Florida Aquarium. We didn't get a chance to hit the beach, but from what I undetstand, the major beaches were only 30 minutes away. We chose the small King Bed room and it was VERY small. Only the basics, but was good enough for my husband, 7 month old, and I. The cleaning staff was hit or miss. But the stay was decent. We would stay again.

weekend getaway

This hotel was not the most extravagant hotel, and the neighborhood MAY not LOOK so nice BUT- it was quiet, and the beds were comfortable and the people were so nice. The breakfast was awesome- from 7-10am and a good variety to choose from. Its directly behind Busch Gardens, shopping etc. We went away for the weekend and had no problem- and would most likely return there again. Very relaxing weekend!

A fine place to stay during your getaway

The hotel was nice. Staff was for the most part friendly, helpful, and knowledgable of the area. Breakfast had a good selection. Room was average size and clean, so no complaints or concerns on cleanliness. The pool was not clean, but to be fair our stay was in an off-season month for locals to be in the pool; however, we were visiting from the North and would have liked a bit cleaner pool as an option.

Pleasant stay. Would return.

I was in Tampa to visit family It was a convenient location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was a little outdated, but clean and quiet. I thought the breakfast had a very good assortment of food. Easy check-in and out. No complaints. The price was right.
