Nothing bad, nothing good.

Stayed here when we first moved to Tampa. Staff was the worst. One forced my oldest son out of the breakfast area because he didn't have on a shirt. Not a big deal, except that left my eight month old baby in an unsafe high chair by himself. When I complained to management they asked us to leave. Never stay here, never let anyone you know stay here either! HAPPY TO REPORT THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED!!!

I recently stayed here with my boyfriend for 5 days. We chose this location because of the proximity to Busch Gardens. The pictures online looked reasonable. Driving near the hotel, I noticed we were surrounded by restaurants and stores. When we arrived at the hotel, I realized it had an element I did not like which was walking back outside from the lobby to get to my room. Ok, fine. No big deal. As soon as we walked into our room, I was hit with the smell of a pool locker room. Our room was directly across from the pool. The room was a bit musty. The A/C was on full blast. We went to turn the air on and the knob spun completely so you never really knew what temperature you were setting the room to. When the heat came on the room smelled terrible for about 20 minutes. Imagine the smell of the first heat in the winter times 10. The internet was absolutely horrible! I could never get a decent enough signal to go from one webpage to another. The room was a bit dated. They basically added new features to the old style of the room to make it appear more modern and updated but it only looked awkward and poorly done. The bathroom is ridiculously small. You would think that with the size of the rooms, you would have a bit more space in there.The housekeepers were shouting across the pool at 10 in the morning right outside our door. That was pretty rude and highly unprofessional. There was also music blaring from the bar near the pool almost every night but no one was at the bar nor in the pool. The pros of this hotel is that there are two swimming pools. Although we did not swim, there were a few nights I saw people enjoying the water. As stated above, there is a bar near the pool which is a plus in my opinion. The hotel overall seemed clean. I do like the layout of the room, having a living area and the bedroom separate. The bedroom was very spacious as was the living areas which came with a sink, mini fridge, microwave and a coffee pot. There was a little French style balcony/patio in our room. We did not go out but we did open the slider to knock off the smell in the room. I figured I could compromise a little comfort for cost but in my opinion, it wasn't worth it. I would recommend for anyone trying to save a buck but if you don't mind spending a little extra per night, I would recommend a different hotel.
