My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were spacious and nicely renovated, but unfortunately, I could hear doors slamming all night as my room was in front of the cleaning service room. Cooking was a bit challenging with only one induction hot-plate. On the bright side, the amenities that came with the West Wing suites were a nice touch.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were spotless with a lovely bathroom area, but they weren't exactly as pictured, so make sure to request a quiet room without an adjoining door to the neighbor. The service was top-notch, with a warm welcome and helpful staff, though I did miss having laundry service. The location is not the most upscale, but it offers convenient access to everything, especially being close to the University of Tampa and Busch Gardens. The dining experience exceeded my expectations; the food, especially the salmon, was exceptional. Overall, a great value for money stay with ample amenities and proximity to major attractions.

The location was not bad for exploring Tampa, Clearwater, and Orlando, though it could benefit from some restoration and new furniture. The proximity to a mall was convenient, and having a kitchenette was a definite plus for staying in.

The dining experience had its ups and downs. While the food was hot and fresh on the first day, the overall breakfast was below average. It would have been nice to have the option to bring a plate of food to the room.

The hotel offers some good facilities, with a nice bathroom area and a generally pleasant ambiance. However, improvements could be made in terms of the breakfast quality and room soundproofing.
