I was kind of scared of this hotel due to some of the negative reviews. This hotel is VERY clean and very well kept and I did not find it dated in any way. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We ate breakfast at the restaurant on property and it was very good. No complaints at all. They even... More

The location is very convenient for MOFFITT patients. There is a small dining room that serves breakfast and dinner. The menu is limited. There is a center courtyard with a pool. On the down side, they could spend more time on housekeeping. Our room did not even have a shower curtain on the tub.

This hotel is a great value for families. The double suites have plenty of room and provide privacy for the parents as well. The rooms surround an appealing courtyard and pool area. Within the courtyard is a small cafe that serves breakfast and dinners. Nothing fancy, but kids 12 and under eat free and this can be a big savings!... More

As soon as we entered our king suite, we were shocked at how worn out and dirty the room was. As Priority Club members who have stayed in many of these hotels, this was far below the standard quality. The bathroom reeked of urine, walls, doors and light plates were disgusting. The small lumpy pillows coupled with traffic noise, train... More
