The room was great. Excellent breakfast. Staff very friendly. The only thing that was an issue was that our shower wasn’t very warm. Mine was cool this morning.
Very clean & spacious hotel & room. Beautiful hotel in a quiet area, near many shopping areas, and access to the main road to get where you need to be within minutes.
Only reason for the four stars and not the five: when we came for check in- we were standing in the lobby area for around 10-15 minutes before someone eventually showed up to check us in. The agent seemed to be busy in the back- this is okay, but at least have someone available. We had two rooms for check in and a couple was also waiting there as well.
All in all- a great experience, AWESOME breakfast, courteous staff, highly recommend for families!
Christopher at the front desk welcomed us with a big smile when we walked in. Our room was ready, even tho we were early. He is friendly and efficient, even took the luggage cart back for me.The room was clean and spacious with good lighting and plenty of outlets. The brekafast staff were friendly and attentive. There were eggs, sausage, potatoes, oatmeal, assorted breads, and much more.
We would stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean and spacious. The staff was courteous. The only issue was poor water pressure and the shower did not get hot enough.
Very comfortable and quiet. The staff makes eye contact and greets you while passing by.

After a long day you come to rest at the hotel only to find out the next day the room given to us didn't have a shower curtain and no hot water.
When ur coming to rest with kids really made the experience horribly
2nd stay and no complaints. Clean and comfortable. Has 3 coffee stores walking distance. Cozy coffee next door has good food and a bar, dont let the name fool you. Minute drive to usf campus.
The staff was excellent! Very attentive and helpful! The rooms were very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The gym was nice as well. The pool looked good but we didn’t get in. The hot tub was out of commission.
