Very clean rooms, breakfast was very good. Parking was free so that’s a plus. The shuttle to and from Busch gardens was very reliable. Overall this is one of the best places to stay while at Tampa.
I traveled with my family. Our stay here was amazing. The staff is awesome especially Aunty Zee. The property is well managed and the rooms are clean. Breakfast is a good addition. I would definitely stay again.
This hotel is clean and comfortable, with a very convenient location, especially for anyone visiting the University of South Florida (USF). It is close to campus and makes getting to school easy. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
It was clean, prepared, equipment present as expected and all items worked nicely without hiccups. I had no issues except the breakfast was cold, not useful to me and not a fan of waffles.
Stayed one night before going to Busch Gardens. They have a complimentary shuttle to the park which is very close to the property. Good continental breakfast.

The hotel was adequate for an overnight stay; however, several areas would benefit from attention. There is noticeable wear and tear, particularly in the bathroom, where the grouting around the shower and floor appears to require either replacement or a thorough deep clean. Additionally, I observed a red stain on the carpet near the bed. I reported this to the reception team, but the response was simply to thank me for informing them. I had hoped to be offered an alternative room, as the nature of the stain was concerning and could potentially have been blood.
Despite these issues, I did have a comfortable night’s sleep, and the complimentary breakfast provided was pleasant.
