Checked in, got to my room and checked right out. Property under renovation. No amenities. I felt unsafe.

Ramada by Wyndham Tampa Westshore Airport South
On Easter they said that they were close the pool for maintenance which also included the fitness room that was connected to it. The reason why I booked the hotel was for the pool and for the Fitness room. We had to spend money to go find a pool somewhere else when it’s 90° in Tampa!!!!!

Sailport Waterfront Suites
The hotel was wonderful. The poolside restaurant served delicious food all day. The pool was clean and offered a beautiful view of the bay. I would have liked to have beach access to the bay, but there was a nice beach a short drive away. The hotel was quiet at night, but not so strict that I worried ...
