"Staff was very friendly and helpful. George checked me in. Jonathan gave me a lift to PF Changs. I had a discrepancy on my account. I was charged for parking when I did not have a car. I called, I forgot the young lady I spoke to, but she was extremely helpful in getting me that refund. Will definitely stay again."

Mint House Tampa Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic studio , conveniently located for quick access to Univ. of Tampa, the airport, the Bay. I enjoy both the balcony of my studio and the outdoor pool area - it was quiet and relaxing. I felt very safe entering the building and while in the studio itself. The studio was clean and equipped with everything I needed (including light cooking). I will definitely stay here again when visiting Tampa!"
