Hidden Gem in South Tampa

I frequently visit the Tampa area and just tried out this hotel based on the reviews and price. Everything was just as advertised. Rooms are clean with very comfortable beds. Even though I did not use the pool it was a very nice setup. Several guests were talking advantage of the late day sun. Will definitely stay here in the future

Bathroom had a sliding barn door that did not provide privacy. Breakfast ended at 9:00 am and several items were running out. Hotel staff were friendly and room was clean, but had more of a motel feel.

One week stay.

Nice place for price. A little dated but bathroom updated. Had a small kitchenette which was nice for our 1 week stay. Cental and easy to airport. Only complaint was that our room did not get cleaned until 5 pm when we were trying to get ready for dinner. Nice well kept pool. Breakfast was pretty ok with enough variety and morning breakfast custodian was quick and efficient and friendly. All in all we were happy with our stay.
