I was travelling with two teenage daughters and booked a suite with two queen beds and a pullout sofa bed. The room was clean, comfortable, quiet, and met all expectations. Continental breakfast was average. The girls liked the cookies provided on check-in. All in all, a good experience- great value, would stay there again!
Positives: Great rooms, clean, close drive to Busch gardens, excellent value!
Negatives: Coffee was weak.

Great location very friendly staff and my children loved the free cookies and popcorn daily. We stay here every yr because it is across from the State Fair were my daughters competition is. The only down falls are the rooms always fell a little damp and the bed is comfy just not what I'm used to ie Marriott..For what it is it's a great hotel.
Positives: The location across from the Ford Theater and the free cookies and popcorn daily.
Negatives: Felt a little wet in the room.

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this hotel. It was clean, the staff was great and the express breakfast was wonderful. The location is ideal if visiting the state fairgrounds and the casino. A really nice mall in Brandon isn't too far away if you want to shop or eat. We definitely will plan to stay here when we visit Tampa again.
Positives: Very customer service friendly staff; good breakfast, very clean.
Negatives: Thin walls - heard everything the "neighbors" did at 3 A.M.

The only trouble I had was waiting for the desk girl to get off her cell phone and check us in and out. I was given a hard time about late check out even though I asked for it upon check in & had no difficulty with late check out at other hotel. Everything was clean, comfortable and acceptable.
Positives: Bed slept good! Loved lots of pillows!
Negatives: No one at the desk for check in or out. I had to wait approx 5 min for both.
