“everything you could want in a pre-cruise motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

The good news is that the hotel was terrific...clean, comfortable beds, excellent front desk service. Also excellent restaurant next door, Island Breeze. My only caveat is DON'T book your room through a third party online agency. When we had a glitch with the airport shuttle picking us up, the management offered us a free room consistent with their policy. However, we couldn't take advantage of it because the room was prepaid with no refund available through Expedia. If we had booked directly, we would have had free accommodation.
The motel did give us some Walmart and Target gift cards instead. I can't say enough good about the onsite management of the hotel.

Room Tip: We had a room on the water side, which was quite nice. But either way, the neighborhood is quiet, an...

“Nice location, well-maintained,small rooms, tiny pool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

This small hotel in located near the Tampa Airport. It provides free parking and airport transportation 24 hours a day. The rooms are well-maintained and very comfortable, but a little small. The outdoor pool is tiny, but clean. The "business center" is one computer and one printer. Staff were very helpful and polite.

“Great pre-cruise hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

We booked this hotel for the cruise transportation. The hotel picked us up from the airport within 30 min of calling them to inform them of our arrival. Right after we checked in they set us up with our departure time for the cruise. We got in very late, so there wasn't much of a choice. We had a 1 pm pick up and had to board by 2. We were a little nervous to be going so late, but as it turned out it was a blessing. We didn't have very long lines to wait in at the port. Other family members who were traveling with us left at noon and got on the ship about 10 minute before us.
The room was clean and very spacious. The beds were comfortable. We saw the pool outside. We didn't use it because it was a bit too cold outside. It looked clean, but very small and surrounded by parking lot. Breakfast was good. Not to much for protein, but if you like waffles, breads and cereal you're in luck. The dining room staff walk around with a basket throughout breakfast hours offering Nutrigrain bars, Special K bars, packaged muffins and small bottles of water. We each took a bar and water to snack on while waiting in line to board the ship.
After the cruise we called for a pick up and again they were there within a half an hour. The driver brought us back to the hotel and encouraged us to go in for a drink and an apple. We will definately stay here again.

“Wonderful - Well Oiled Machine!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

people found this review helpful

OK - this was a GREAT choice for us!!! I booked two rooms - one for daughter and niece with the cruise package (they pick you up at the airport take you to hotel, then to a shopping stop in town, then to the cruise port in the morning and then pick you back up at the cruiseport and take you back to the airport or back to the hotel - your choice) and one free room for us (Hilton Honors reward night). The pick up at the airport went very smoothly - no problems at all. Check in with Wendy was fabulous - she is a great multi-tasker and deserves a raise - holy cow she can take great care of her customers. Hotel itself was away from everything really - but we did not care - they took us to walgreens to get our water and bug spray - and we went to seasons 52 for dinner which was really good too and then we called them and they came and picked us up. The rooms need some updating but were clean and comfy for sure. Scott then took over the front desk and got us on the 'super secret early van to the cruise port' LOL - he was too funny - staff continues to go above and beyond! Breakfast in the morning was more than ample and quite tasty. Again staff is superb. We were able to get a 10am shuttle to the cruiseport and just walked right through the line. Then upon return - we were picked up within minutes and they had us to the airport in no time. They obviously know what they were doing and we did not have to worry about a thing. Would definitely use them again and if we cruise out of Tampa again we will be back. Thank you for making the travel days of our vacation completely worry free!

One little note - very small pool - but they have a nice little workout room.

“Perfect hotel close to the airport !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed here one night before our cruise and 4 nights after the cruise.The hotel is close to the airport .The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean, the staff was very friendly,and the price is also good. There is a free shuttle to and from the airport and also to the 2 malls.By paying a little bit more you can get a cruise package, a shuttle to and from the cruise port, which I can advise.The included breakfast is not my style, but the lady who served breakfast was very friendly and helpful.
Across the street is an excellent restaurant, the Bahama Breeze .
All in all a great choice, I would highly recommend this hotel and the next time we come to Tampa this is the place we will stay.
