Pros:

Solides eine Nacht Hotel. Hatten Esszimmer hinten raus, damit war es ruhig.

Wir waren zum Eishockey da. Wenn ihr was um die Arena oder in ybor findet nehmt das. 50$ uber müsst ihr immer drauf rechnen.

Frühstück amerikanisch solide.

Cons:

Morgens6 Uhr lautes sprechen und treiben auf dem Flur.

Good location and staff but some maintenance issues
Pros:

We had a great experience at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we checked in, which really made us feel at home.

Our room was very spacious—much larger than we expected—which made our stay very comfortable. One of the best parts was the location; it’s super convenient and situated perfectly for quick access to both Tampa and St. Petersburg.

If you’re looking for a comfortable spot that makes commuting around the area a breeze, this is it. Highly recommended!"

Cons:

However, there were a few issues that impacted our stay. When we first entered the room, there was a noticeable musty, moldy smell that was quite unpleasant. Additionally, the breakfast experience was disappointing because there were no cold drinks available. The beverage machine was out of order for the entire five days of our stay, and it was never fixed.

It’s a great spot for commuting around the Bay Area, but the room odors and the lack of maintenance in the breakfast area definitely need to be addressed."

Lovely venue, communication could be better with guests
Pros:

It was clean, tidy and well located.

Cons:

Perhaps they could allocated better parking. Also, the communication between booking.com and the property management company could be better.
They had deadlines and specific requirements but didn’t ask for it on one email, it was sporadic and took up a lot of time to respond. I had to email
Back and forth constantly which was inconvenient and annoying. They weren’t clear about the parking permits either.

stay away, book elsewhere if you can.
Pros:

The bathroom upgrade and complimentary bath soap were great however, the upgrade did not match the esthetic of the room. The rooms were old and smelly and the shower and bathtub looked liked they belonged in a much classier hotel. Wish I could give a good review on this hotel but it was awful. The coffee was good.

Cons:

Everything, the beds were awful, the AC did not work well, smelly musty odor in the hallway and bedroom. The guest washing machine smelled like years of stagnant water. Book elsewhere. The outside and lobby area of the building is very deceiving compared to how it looks on the upper floors
