Quality Inn Tampa Airport - Cruise Port

Quality Inn Tampa Airport - Cruise Port

10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast was good but Linda was AWESOME! She made sure everyone felt welcome, well fed, and well taken care of. Linda truly cared for all guests, and for the hygiene and cleanliness of the premises. Linda is the gem ! The staff in general was courteous, very professional. The hotel itself needs some upgrades, as central air conditioners or better units. Hopefully I do not have to go back to Tampa, but if I do, I will definitely stay here again."
