Relaxing place
I was unexpectedly happy with this hotel. The shuttle bus brought me anywhere within 2 miles, which included everywhere I wanted to visit and had pick up points to bring me back. I did not have to negotiate parking around the city

Very Nice Hotel
We had a wonderful stay. Stayed here to go on our cruise. It was a quick drive to the port. The hotel was very clean and we ordered dinner delivered and we ate in the lobby with our family. There were 9 of us. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We live in the area but this was our first time staying in Tampa. They are close to the riverwalk, so we did walk down to the river.

Decent stay
They stay was good friendly staff everything was clean. Great location. So much to do in the area. We went for a wings game and they have a free shuttle to take you there but it’s within walking distance along the river (20min) only issue was the water in our room the night we arrived dident get hot for the shower but the next morning we had hot water.

Will stay again
Our 2nd stay here. Pretty hotel. Great location to the arena and not far at all from the major highway. So you park your car for a nominal daily fee and walk to areas of interest. Clean hotel and friendly staff.

OK but will try other hotels
This was our second stay. Both times, we had issues with the toilet running to the point where we had to turn the water supply off to sleep. It also took a long time to get hot water. It is a great location for the Riverwalk and the Straz theater.
