Tolle Adresse für Besucher von Ybor City!
Pros:

Super Lage, sehr nahe bei Ybor City. Sehr grosse saubere Zimmer und ruhige Lage.

Cons:

Achtung: Das Parkieren dämpft das gute Preis/Leistungsverhältnis der Zimmer leider ziemlich. Pro Nacht kostet der Aussen-Parkplatz beim Hotel $30!

Pros:

I only stayed one day but that one day was great. The beds were very comfortable. The room was very clean. The air was on point and the hot tub was great. Perfect for the end of long day on the road. And the breakfast made to order was fresh. Tasted good and the wait staff was awesome. Loved it. Wish I had stayed the whole trip there.

Cons:

The lobby cookies were burnt.

The Hilton Garden Inn in Ybor city was absolutely amazing. Cannot wait to come back.

A hotel was very nice and clean. My favorite part was the breakfast. That’s because our waitress Miss Shiela was the absolute best. We love her. Can’t wait to come back. She made breakfast fun

Cons:

I liked everything and I absolutely would not change a thing I even love the chickens lol

Very enjoyable. Certainly stay there again!
Pros:

Breakfast was the only disappointment. Eggs over-done, pancakes not done enough. (They did not charge us for the pancakes). The location was primo. The staff was excellent.

Cons:

Breakfast.
The parking was expensive and the payment for it was difficult to set up. Still, glad we could park there.

Nice hotel stay in Ybor City.
Pros:

I liked the close proximity to points of nearby points of interests.

Cons:

What I didn’t like was that I had to pay $34 for overnight parking had I known I would of stayed at another hotel that parking was included for free. I was also told at check in the continental breakfast was free only to find it wasn’t. It was very misleading and I also overheard another family was told the same thing.
