I would stay here again

Everyone on thes staff was couteous and friendly. Check in was fast and efficient. Room was clean without lingering odors. Even numbered rooms look out over the river and in the distance the interstate with an old fashion drawbridge just in front of us. The lounge staff were nice and friendly but not hovering. The breakfast buffet was standard. Nothing was bad but the hot meal at 10.99 seemed limited. The staff did their job well. Whenever I asked a staff member anything they were polite and quick to answer me. I would stay here again.

I would recommend this...

We chose this hotel because it was so close to the St. Pete Times-Forum, where we saw Metallica. The price was great and it provided all the necessities. We especially appreciated the shuttle service, which took us to a couple of nearby spots so we didn't have to worry about driving directions. No, it's not a 4-star resort, but it was clean and the staff was friendly & helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

I love this place

Everytime my girlfriend and I go to tampa for a night out we always stay at this hotel. It is by far the nicest hotel that we stay in. The people at the desk are so helpful.

Would stay again

The room we had was better than I expected for what we paid for the room. The front desk clerk was very helpful with all my questions..(ice..restraunts..transfers). It was very nice.

Nice Hotel

It was newly renonvated but still needs some work. Such as there were 3 elevators but only one worked at a time. Elevator was extremely slow and I sometimes waited between 5 to 8 minutes for the elevator to get up to my floor, the 8th floor. Rooms were real comfortable and clean.

GREAT place to stay for the RIGHT price

Room was great for the price and location couldn't have been better. The van service was a plus and our driver was super friendly. Hung out at the pool most of the day. It was in the WEIRDEST location but nice and quiet. We did have a problem with the elevators, there were 3 but only 1 was working. Kinda creepy and a little old but it got us from floor to floor with no problems. Would stay again but only overnight. I wouldn't make a weekend out of it.

Pleasantly surprised

I found the quality of the hotel to be surprising. The rooms could use a little updating, but ok for the price. The entire hotel staff (front dest, shuttle drivers, restaurant & bartenders) were all extremely nice.

Comfortable

The hotel itself was fine. Someone on the staff told us there were not any 'reasonably priced options' for dining, so we ate at the hotel. Later we saw some fast food places that would have been fine for us and our child for a night or two. The coffeemaker and toiletries left something to be desired. We really liked Julio in the restaurant.
