Friendly staff, clean rooms, hot showers. A little dated, and didn't have outlets on both sides of the bed for our cpaps. Desk lamp had a long enough cord with an outlet in the base so we made it work. I'd stay there again.

Older hotel, nicely renovated. Beautiful landscaping around the heated pool. Room 121 was clean and the bed was comfortable. I brought my own pillow and was glad I did! Keurig in room for morning coffee. We did not check out the free breakfast. Very conveniently located within 15 minutes of Tampa General Hospital. Will book again!

We stayed for 3 days and it was adequate, but would have been fantastic if management and housekeeping would pay more attention to pest control and cleanliness. Room wasn't properly cleaned after last guest and a roach crawled across the kitchenette counter. Wouldn't stay again.
