Excellent value- newly renovated

The new renovations are very nice. However, the walls are very thin and noise from other rooms can easily be heard. The staff is fabulous and accommodating. We had to switch rooms because of the HVAC system and our second room was not as clean as the first one. Overall, the property is much better now and is a fantastic value. Bacon every morning made my stay even better! The bad ratings no longer apply to this newly renovated property. I would stay here again because it is a great value for the price.

I was surprised at how nice this place was! We got a very reasonable rate on Orbitz so I didn’t expect much. You enter through the lobby and they send you through double doors into the beautiful courtyard atrium area to where all of the rooms open. Our room had two rooms to it and you entered the living area that had a couch, TV refrigerator, microwave and sink. It was very spacious. Then you went through the second door into the beautiful bedroom area which had a king size bed, and a sliding glass door. Unfortunately, the sliding glass door curtains did not block the bright light that was installed outside, so it was a bit bright at night. But it felt safe and was very comfortable and clean. There were several very thoughtful touches in the room, including all of the cable channels you would possibly want, soft towels, and microwave. I would definitely stay here again, especially since it is so close to Busch Gardens.

Vacation stay

After seeing excellent reviews about this property I was really looking forward to staying here. The gentlemen who greeted us was great! Very helpful. Have great suggestions on where to eat. Although they weren't open. Our room was definitely below part for what we were expecting. The floors were gritty with dirt, the sofa was slightly stained. We're went out to the courtyard and took a look around. The pool was dirty, the swing chair cushions were filthy. All in all I would not recommend this resort.

Good for families and proximity to Busch Gardens.

Good for families who can compromise on quality and comfort for a good price and proximity to Busch Gardens. Friends of ours booked this hotel (we went with a group) and we would have preferred to stay in downtown Tampa. We found this place noisy (lots of families and partiers, but then it was end of spring break, so to be expected I guess). Was disappointed for breakfast when I went down and about 30 people were waiting for food to arrive (first batch was gone). Hats off to front counter reception (Davni) who helped us with an Uber ride.
