water front n beach !!

Nothing like waterfront views for a perfect trip...thanks to all who make this place run like a well oiled machine....A

This location is a party/club type location. Not for families. And should be marketed as such. There are DJs on the weekends, where hundreds of people come toThe music/bass was so loud you could hear it blocks away, it was supposed to end at 9p but continued until 12a. We could not park at the location because the “lot was full” from the club WTR attendees. We had to park in a paid parking lot a block away. We could not use the hotel pool because it was used as overflow for the club WTR. There people from the club WTR throwing up in the parking lot. Fights, extremely intoxicated very young people everywhere. Not to mention- the hotel rooms were filthy. The floor was sticky, the drain did not work, there was no hot water to shower, not ice. It was awful and would not recommend

Would stay again. Only problem was room was Smokey and they did not have a good breakfast and coffee on site . Did recommend a place in walking distance though that was super. and talked to front desk next morning and they apologized about room and gave me another room.

The Godfrey was nice. Common areas are clean and new. The room was fine. Comfortable bed and clean linens. The bathroom could use a refresh but I would stay here again. Staff that check me in was nice.

Staff unfrienfly

My flight was cancelled so I booked this last minute. Thought I would take advantage of being in Tampa and soak up some sun by the pool before heading back to a cold part of the country. The hotel felt old, outdated. The employees at the front desk were fine, but not welcoming either time I approached them. The bed and pillows were fine, no complaints there. The room was clean but felt old and tired. The gym was super small. I don’t know, it was fine for a cancelled flight but for anything else I would have been disappointed. It’s walking distance to a nice bar with a sandy beach.

the scenery view pools and restaurant's in area were very nice. the rooms can use some upgrading

Very dated. Needs lots of TLC. Staff was friendly and quick, though.

Generally a nice hotel, our room was on the streetside and it was quite loud even late at night. Also, the airport shuttle (the primary reason we picked this hotel) did not start until 7 AM but we had a 6AM flight so I had to order a Lyft anyway. We were not there long and with the early flight weren't able to check out the other amenities and services, but the room was generally fine.

I cannot express how friendly the staff was. It’s an older hotel, but kept well. Very nice location on the water very clean. The off-season price was right and once again the front desk staff was very friendly.

Good waterfront locale. But preteens we're running amuck up and down the hall well after 10pm. A group of 20 or more adults had an adhoc birthday celebration with a lot of noise directly below my window ...at midnight. Staff did nothing to deter either of these nosie makers. This along with aging and poor noise insulated doors and windows made for a disappointing night.

This property has five star potential. The staff is nice and professional. The view and area is five stars alone. The rooms can use some updates. Housekeeping needs to pay attention to detail when cleaning. I had hair in my sheets. First room floorboards was wet and leaking.They moved me to another room and the bottom of the door was missing. It was extremely hard to open the door. Room 508 . I prayed and dealt with it.The staff was nice and tried to make me comfortable. I understand some things are beyond their control. The dinning was nice and food was good. Service and treatment was fair across the board. I would stay here again but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Horrible

This hotel was really mediocre for the money I paid. Great location though.

The property itself is AMAZING! Beautiful setting, surroundings and accomodations. HOWEVER, We tried to check in EXACTLY at 3:00 (the designated time) and were not given our room until nearly 2 1/2 hours later. That was an unacceptable wait time to get settled and enjoy our stay. We absolutely should have been comped w/ food & drink service due to the extended check in time
