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.

Short drive to TPA
We were only here one night and had to leave super early for our flight. The room was very clean, beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed to provide a good rest before a long flight.

Breakfast was good . Place is ok.
It doesn’t deserve to be 8+ rating that attracted me to choose this place.

Very nice stay!
I was supposed to stay at the same address over 10 years ago. I left immediately.
This time I was pleasantly surprised to find it very clean, neat, and quiet. Raymond at the front desk was very helpful when I realized that I could not engage the deadbolt.
It maybe helpful for the front area to have a list of restaurants who deliver to the hotel, since I overheard some guests who had bad past experiences with doordash and uber eats.
