We were put in a room at first that had hair all over the bathroom floor and then they sprayed something that was so strong a man who was using whatever it was had a mask on. I asked for a new room and they did move us to another but that room had a bucket of something beside the door all weekend and was still there when we left on Monday. We will never go back to this hotel.

The photos of this hotel make it look fabulous when it is in fact, not. Our room smelled like smoke, our shower was still dirty and the paint was chipped. We ended up going and buying new shoes and towels to shower in because we didn’t feel comfortable using theirs.

The hotel is beautiful, but the protest was noisy due to loud karaoke from the hotel next door. It made for a difficult sleep. The rooms were clean but the beds and pillows weren't comfortable and the sheets were rough.

Old, outdated, kind of gross.

When we walked in the room it smelled funny and there was a dead moth stuck in one of the picture frames near the door. Room 318. It didn’t have the resort vibe that it claimed on the website. The hotel seemed very old and outdated and one of the comforters in the room was very lumpy. Hair in the bathtub as well. Definitely not worth the price we paid for two nights. I will say that the gentleman working the coffee shop was excellent.

I think Tampa should do better with the choices of places to stay the place was horrible, the shower is horrendous, the beds were not attached to railing, walls thin as a needle, baseboards were brown but was suppose to be white, no microwave in rooms last but not least our last day there at 8am the fire alarm went off and woke my family up!! Also the cherry on top was the maids literally knocked on every door at 11am for checkout HOW RUDE the review is as honest as it going to get. Seems like this is ONLY an investment opportunity to me this place should be investigated asap

Once checked in and made it to the room, i've noticed that the furniture looked worn down. The remote control was mossing from the room. The shower curtains were dirty and the tub tiles were pilling. The shower shower head was also rusted and crusted with calcium build it. I will not be staying there again. Although the staff was friendly and welcoming. It is very unfortunate that the upkeep of the hotel rooms were very underwhelming.

Very Disappointed

The first room was terrible. It smelled like a wet mop with bleach. Curtains werent hung over a/c unit. Floor was bubbled up which was a major fall risk. Shower was rusted and disgusted. Stain on chair in room. Ceiling vent fell on outside of room. Had to get placed in another room which was tolerable but still not the best. The hotel looks as if it can be vacant at anytime.
