Stayed at hotel for a local wedding. Usually not a Comfort Suites person, but was surprised that the rooms were suites, the hotel offered a hot breakfast, and the customer service was really awesome. The hotel is not in a resort like setting, but the manager runs a very clean, efficiently staffed property with a fountain in the back that connects to the pool. For a moment it does not feel you are in the middle of a city or near the interstate. I would recommend it - very quiet and very reasonably priced. All the rooms come with a mini-fridge, microwave, and mini-kitchen and is great for having relatives that you might be in town over for the evening as the rooms were ample and comfortable.

Reviews are a funny thing. Hard to decide on this place based on the yin and yang on dispay here. But trusted our travel agent and fortunately our two night stay landed us deep in the positive camp.
Lance(apparently still in employ) checked us in very humanely, answering several location queries. Our non-smoking room evidenced no atmospheric unpleasantries. A fridge. Comfortable firm beds with welcoming sheets and 4 comfy pillows on each. The bathroom was spotless with plenty of towels. Rug barefoot friendly.
Did have trouble connecting my mac powerbook to the net via the provided ethernet cable, but the lobby PC featured free printing
Our maid Mary went out of her way to work our room freshening around our schedule. The free lobby breakfast was adequate for my needs - instant oatmeal, yoplait, silky scrambled eggs, fruit. You could also have waffles, biscuits + gravy, toast etc. The swimming pool is adequate for some brief laps.
The sounds of the lobby's quirky gnome mountain fountain provided an oddly serene setting for after work decompression.
Kind of sad not to have encountered the legendary "Jean", but desk clerk Kathy had no problem with our late check out request.
Overall, nothing run down about the place. It was nice to see another maid cleaning the AC screen of an adjoining room.
This is not an "inside" review. Just the honest assessment of an old rock and roll road dog who has stayed in hundreds of hotels. Good to have a go to place at a good rate in Tampa. Good luck!
P.S. For a surreal experience, ask for directions to the local skating rink where you can come in from the Florida heat and watch hockey games.

The place was clean, very eccentrically decorated and the GM Jean is very negative, rude and unhappy. I would not recommend this place, but the coffee is out of this world!

After reading some of the reviews, I must admit, I had second thoughts. However, it is the only Choice property at this exit and I use my rewards as much as I can these days. At first impression I could tell they were very proactive with the landscaping, especially to be in such a developed area. That brings me to the next point, if you want somewhere to shop or eat, you could through a something in any direction and it would hit a resturant! I was there on business but would return with my wife and she would love it. I was surprised to notice the interior decor wasn't the typical tropical, instead it had a large fountain and more of a wetlands theme. Waffles for breakfast every morning and a better breakfast than some of the other Comforts I have stayed at. Overall staff was great, though I only saw the clerk at check in, I think Timothy was his name. Nice younger fellow, very knowledgeable and seemingly eager to help. I would give the whole stay a 9 out of 10. My only suggestion would be more advertising to help set the place in front of the competition and let people know they are there (a block past the last hotel at exit).
