We selected this hotel for it's proximity to Busch Gardens. We had high expectations for this hotel and were extremely disappointed. This hotel is located in a business district and there were limited places to eat.

I had a difficult time falling asleep the first night because my legs were very itchy. To my horror, the next morning I awoke and found flea bites on both of my legs. I also noticed a flea on 2 yr. old son. When I examined him closer, he had a bright red bite on his chest. We called the front desk and the manager came right over. She was apologetic and offered to move us to another room. She said she would take the room out of service and called Ecolab. When my husband told the asst. mgr. that evening about our experience, he asked, "So what, do you want to be compensated?" This is no world-class hospitality that Marriott boasts about. This process of re-packing and then unpacking ruined our hopes of going to the beach that morning. It completely threw my chidren's schedule off and just left a bad impression of the Marriott brand to us. What are hotels doing with the $75 - $100 on-refundable pet deposit they are collecting? Next time, I will go out of my way to ensure I book a hotel that is not pet-friendly because I cannot trust a hotel to thoroughly clean a room after a pet's stay.

This hotel needs to be updated. Tampa is a scary place. Do not venture outside the hotel and heed their signage warning you to take valuables out of your car and lock the doors. Definitely a red flag...

We were a family coming from many states, for a Graduation and engagement .
We had seniors- and as young as one week old baby. Rooms, services, breakfast, and pool was all great. Would I stay here again, in a heart beat

After trying several different locations in the area we settled on this hotel. It suits our needs perfectly as we stay for 1 to 3 week at a time. Although they have one and two bedroom units we find the one bedroom unit is size perfectly for us. It includes a full kitchen and bath (with a tub). I was surprised to find a new flat screen TV and satellite service covering local and cable channels and my wife and I both use the free internet service to keep in contact with work and friends. We travel up and down i-75 and east and west on i-4, both of which are close to the hotel. Our mini-doxi is sort of a cracker dog and loves traveling south with us from New England. Being diabetic I stay away from the small breakfast offering (except for the coffee). Do we like the place? We've been staying there for about ten years and all the staff has always gone out of their way to be helpful.
Ps I’ve never seen a bug in on the premises (unusual for Florida).
