Our weekend break, get away for R. and R
Pros:

Our was very good, I really like the soap and shampoo dispensers and the Breakfast was outstanding. We had to search for an American restaurant downtown was a little disappointing, there were many indigenous restaurants and a bar and grill without waitress and Waiter Service. We walked almost 1hour and a half to look for dinner. Why with the Sundeck I had to step up to get into the wading area needs to be more accessible please and thank you. Overall we enjoyed our stay and your breakfast Staff and Valet parking Staff were outstanding. Thank you all for giving us the best vacation ever. Tru Hilton, St.Petersburg, Florida. Thank you again sincerely yours

Ótima localização, e funcionários atenciosos.
Pros:

A localização é excelente, conseguimos caminhar a pé na região com muitos restaurantes e bares no entorno. O café da manhã foi ótimo, e atendentes muito atenciosos (recepção e manobristas).

Cons:

Cama não era muito grande, e não houve serviço de limpeza do quarto todos os dias.

Great location but expensive parking.
Pros:

Location and cleanliness of the room.

Cons:

The room was smaller and parking was 40 for valet and 25 for self park. If I'm paying for a room that should include a free parking option. I can pay less per night and park at the stadium. Your prices are ridiculous.

Clean, comfortable, and affordable.
Pros:

Wonderful stay. Perfect location for watching a ball game at Tropicana Stadium ... easy walk. I liked the layout of the room -- no wasted space, quiet, very comfortable bed and especially clean. The lobby and breakfast space was attractive and airy. The breakfast offerings were very good. Valet parking was convenient and very responsive. The service was exceptional with all the staff being friendly, helpful and pleasant. I would commend one of the valets - Keke - for her service and helpful tourist advice. I was so impressed with the hotel, I have already made another booking there later this month when I come for another game at the Trop.

We enjoyed our stay and would like to return for future visits.
Pros:

We were in for a one-night stay. All of the staff that we encountered including the valet, were very happy and pleasant. The room was comfortable, the shampoo, lotion, shower gel containers were full. The towels and sheets smelled fresh and were soft. They did not have the over bleached smell at all. The location was perfect to I-275 as well as the eateries. Very Very pleased.

Cons:

The bathroom looked a little outdated with some wear and tear but acceptable for us.

Perfect and better than what I expected. We hope God willing that we will do this again next year
Pros:

Location was perfect, it was an easy walk to the Tampa Bay Rays stadium, we are Detroit Tiger Fans! We walked to a sports bar and grill “Ferg’s, easy walk and great food. The coffee and breakfast in the morning was delicious! Most of all was how nice and courteous the staff was from the staff that parked our car to the staff at the counter so friendly and helpful. Even the gal cleaning the rooms when we were on our way to the room said hello and said if you need anything in the room let us know.

Cons:

In room coffee maker? …I went downstairs about 5:30 am and took back to our room 4 cups of coffee was nice and fresh tasting.
