Jake at the front desk is a great asset to your organization My wife and I checked in at about 6:00 pm on a Thursday with at least three other guests ahead of us on line and at least 2 phone lines ringing Jake handled everything and everyone professionally and courteously

The room was fine although the shade on the door to the balcony needs repair

Kay the manager of the Candlewood Suites has been phenomenal! Excellent customer service and superb hospitality excellence is the bare minimum to describe my experience Thank you Kay, for your hospitality Professional and friendly

I give this hotel 5 stars for the staff alone The rooms are clean and modern I highly recommend this place

Robh693 H

Nice, clean hotel Up to date amenities, very large room with kitchenette Hotel is in a beautiful neighborhood and there are 2 very good restaurants in the same plaza

The only thing we didn’t care for was the very soft bed which left us both with sore lower backs, you actually have to struggle to get out of the bed There is no breakfast offered but there is a very good diner in the same plaza

We stayed at the Epicurean after our wedding that was down the street It was absolutely lovely! We had a large corner room with a rainfall shower head! The staff were so nice in that they brought us a bottle of champagne and a fancy charcuterie board as a gift! All the staff we interacted with were kind as can be I loved the glass of wine on check in! I would definitely recommend this hotel! The area surrounding it is also so walkable, with Blind Tiger and other local eats within walking distance

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any stay They compare countless booking websites and normally will have prices much cheaper than others! You’re welcome :)! This resort is one of the highest rated in the area

I’ve been coming here for a very long time If you choose this place you for sure won’t regret itWorth the cost, wonderful food and drink Great rooftop bar! In a marvelous walking area with many many great food options s and bars Walkable to the bay Worked with event staff to put on a cocktail evening with hosted bar and heavy apps and their service was extremely attentive with great food The restaurant was great as well

Taylor T

This definitely a fun place! And customer service was outstanding! I love all the artwork and it was definitely close to downtown and everything that you would want, across the street from Burns steakhouse, they gave us a complimentary bottle of whatever we wanted because it was my birthday which was super nice and complimentary glass of wine when we walked in if we wanted that the bar in the room was fully staffed and equipped and it was great I can’t say enough we only had one shower towel but they corrected that, the place looks a little bit old in the rooms there was some watermarks on the ceiling and the shower wasn’t looking super new and clean and there was no door between the toilet and the bathroom and only one sink in our room so that was annoying but I guess we could have upgraded? The staff was just so nice I love the artwork, valet was amazing, it was a great day I would definitely stay there again and again and again I love that they had the wine area attached and again everyone was just super friendly I don’t know what I’ll say about this place I think that we could have explored it more and I didn’t so maybe next time, I would like to try the spot and I would like to experience the food two things which we didn’t I also think it’s a great value I think that the rooms are priced well and I can’t wait to go back!

Clean, well maintained rooms I used the gym in the evening It is well equipped with all the basics – treadmill, elliptical, bike, bench and free weights

Breakfast and coffee were good as always Airplane noise is audible but becomes significantly less frequent later at night Front desk does off ear plugs which is the first time I’ve seen any hotel offer them So they’re aware of the potential problem and doing their best to mitigate That being said, I had no problem sleeping without using ear plugsHampton is always my go to when traveling And this hotel is no different

Steve Barthelmes

Did not get a chance to stay here because my flight was canceled I wanted to see what my options were so I decided to call instead of cancel online I was on hold with 2 different people for over an hour, just to cancel the reservation

Each person I talked to asked me the exact same questions The people on the phone were very nice, but over an hour, just to cancel? They said the front desk showed I already checked in even though I was 2000 miles away So they ended up creating a case, and claimed someone will call me I really really doubt it What a terrible experience

Ruth Williams

The front of the building was under construction, but they make it easy to find the lobby Staff friendly and accommodating, when we asked where we could get utensils in the evening the guy at the front desk showed us through the doors where we could get them ourselves There was a laminated paper on the bed when we got in telling us that if we needed them they could provide ear plugs, but the sound of the planes really wasn’t loud or bothersome at all

Very clean, overall decor and furniture seem new, bed super comfortable Breakfast was as good as any Hampton Inn breakfast, eggs, bacon, waffles, etc But the best part about breakfast was that the chef had made and handed out Valentine’s day cards with fake roses to the guests! He stood up and wished us all a happy Valentine’s day from Hampton Inn too That was a fun touch

Great location, great room, and a service staff that treated us like family Robin at the front desk was very friendly, as if we had known her for a lifetime Wendell the Ops Manager was very hospitable and also treated us like family

Having unlimited food choices a few steps away was magnificent Then to have a higher end mall to shop at was also a plus The transportation company that transported us to and from the airport was also seamless Oh and I almost forgot the two young ladies that served us breakfast were nice also

Anna Martca

We had the most pleasant experience at Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel! Family of four, we stayed only one night before our flight I accidently booked one month in advance The lady from Front Desk was able to quickly identify the problem and changed dates for us

Very easy! On top of it she allowed to check in earlier, which was very helpful We were so tiered driving from far away and our little one needed some rest It was all clean and stylish room Luxury feels and yet very relaxing environment in the hotel We loved the opportunity to go to shopping mall and choose from multiple dining options We loved clean and beautiful pool area in the hotel Check in and check out was super-fast and easy I would give it 100 points out of 10 available We were so happy and would love to come again!

We were there for our son’s wedding and had lots of family with us All of the staff were amazing! Kim at the front desk went out of her way to make us happy! All of the folks at the front desk were superstars: Kim, George, Ron, and Anastasia! Thank you for an an amazing stay! The beds and bedding were awesome and so comfy! Even our 84 year old mother who never sleeps well, slept like a baby! Wonderful experience!

Denise Cadogan-Stanford -LABOR-

My stay was great!!! I have to acknowledge the housekeeper Betty K, she made sure and ensured that all of my needs were met on time She extended her courteous gesture and visited every morning and I appreciated it

My checkout experience was also great!! Stephanie greeted me with a smile and made the checkout process easy Thank you both for my wonderful time at the Westin

Rini Roy

What a horrible stay – wish we had chosen a different hotel for our weekend First we endured a ridiculously long wait to check-in because there was only one person at the front desk on a SATURDAY AFTERNOON Then we get a suite that doesn’t have a working bathtub (water wouldn’t drain), no body wash, no bathrobes in the room, and a defective television

Someone came up to “fix” the tub but it still wouldn’t drain in the morning, and when we called down again the front desk tells us they’re aware the tub isn’t working and it needs a bigger fix So they waited to tell us/fix the problem until WE called down to call about it We are finally switched to another room, but it, too, doesn’t have body wash or bathrobes, and now the AC barely works and there is a defective smoke detector that flashes bright green throughout the night When we call the front desk at 2:30am to let them about the smoke detector and how it’s now woken up our 2 year old, instead of offering to fix it or another more feasible solution, we are offered a room change – at 2:30AM with a toddler Ridiculous! The next morning, we stood around for at least 15 minutes before a valet attendant even acknowledged us to ask if we were waiting for our car even though we stood right in front of several guys just standing around chatting with each other It was only when my husband pulled out his wallet that someone looked our way and offered to assistWe were offered $50 off our room stay and complimentary parking for our troubles, but i just received my credit card statement and the parking was charged HORRIBLE experience and with so many other hotels to choose from in the area, Westin Waterside is the last place anyone should book

Great hotel overall My family stayed for a long weekend and we loved the proximity to the airport and convenience of local restaurants and shopping Not a far drive to the beach either! The hotel is very clean, staff very helpful and friendly, convenient coffee shop in the lobby, very nice pool on the 9th floor with a beautiful view of the bay, and the beds are comfortable too! Our room had a coffee maker and mini fridge as well

We definitely recommend this hotel

A suitcase and a baby

Nice hotel but there must be a plumbing issue in the hotel Toilet barley flushed and tub didn’t drain Kinda disgusting to shower in dirty water

Corner room view was horrible and it sounded like someone was tapping on my window all night Room never got cold despite being on 65 Beds probably would’ve been comfortable if I weren’t hot as all hell Lobby is welcoming but the workers at the front desk clearly are uninterested in working Bar and work spaces make it convenient for after work drinks

Chelsea S

We were on the 11th floor… the hottest floor in the whole building There was no trash can liners or an ice bucket The ice machine on the 11th floor didn’t work

The ac was set at 65 but the temp of the room never went below 78 It’s a bit awkward that the rooms windows face the office building across the way and everyone can see in to your room And paying $14 to park every day kinda sucked However aside from that it’s a nice hotel The bar was decently priced and Stan the bartender makes a great margarita!

I travel frequently for work and I have never experienced such great hospitality and service The hotel and rooms were very clean and updated The pool area was beautiful and provided lounge chair food and beverage service

The staff from front desk, valet, housekeeping, and in room dining staff were all very friendly and helpful I even had daily maid service That is hard to find these days and this hotel completely nailed it! I can’t wait to return

Connor Jewiss

This hotel is fantastic Having stayed in other properties nearby, this one is the best by far The rooms are fantastic, and so are the amenities

Upon arriving as a Bonvoy Gold member, I was instantly upgraded to one of the highest floors After my flight was cancelled, they easily allowed me to stay an extra night in a room, which was also upgraded, and at a reduced rate All the staff are incredibly friendly, from the front desk, the bell staff, housekeeping, valet, restaurants, pool, and bar The rooms were spotless, and the pools incredibly refreshing Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place, and will certainly be staying here again!

Teresa T

Beautiful and luxurious hotel with lots of amenities The staff is friendly and very helpful Clear signs touch screen elevator and there is plenty of food options on property

They honor the privacy tags at the door Plenty of USB and outlets in the room They have slippers and mouthwash too if those matter to you (I certainly appreciate it) Basically everything you would anticipate in an upscale room I would recommend and definitely returnI would appreciate vents in the bathroom I also didn’t see a lock

The hotel needs updating It probably was very nice at one time The bathrooms are great, the meeting rooms were great (I was there for a conference) and the food was excellent

We did not buy the breakfast there because it was very overpriced The beach is a bit dirty but still enjoyed sitting by it I don’t mean dirty like trash, I mean dirty like it looks like lake water The temperature inside our room was hot The unit showed 65 but it was prob closer to 80 We sweat at night the last night I read other reviews where they had the same issue They don’t have a fridge or microwave but you can get a fridge if they have a spare one and you ask I found that weird It is 2022, hot outside, and the price suggest at least this amenity Would I stay again, absolutely if work is paying I would personally prob get a different hotel if I were choosing But it was still a good stay and I’m not opposed to returningPlease put some money into updates and this place will be worth the visit

Joel Gorrín Monzón (Joe Google Reviews)

My first impression of the hotel was not shocking It is not a luxury hotel but the reception was excellent, the entry process was fast and very good cleanliness in the main Lobby area The elevators are in very good condition and when you arrive at the room very good impression, very spacious, good view of the bay, good temperature and good smell, the best thing about the room is the bathroom, super spacious and comfortable

The only downside is that it doesn’t have a refrigerator but nothing so necessary for usMy Joe Google Rate is: 95%

Allie Taylor

When I booked, I was told I could check in early for $50 on the phone I had a surgery that morning When I arrived they charged me for and entire extra day for checking in early

When I did check in I was not given a parking pass and the parking person outside wasn’t there Finally he showed up and told us to just go in the garage THEN, I went to the room and it was the wrong room We had to walk all the way back to front desk and sit and wait for him to finally find the room that I booked THEN, before surgery I am required to take a shower, the shower is broken there is only one temperature, hell fire I tried every angle to take a shower and it wouldn’t even shoot out cold water, only hot Called the front desk they said there was nothing they could do So I had to basically burn my skin to shower before my surgery I was supposed to be sleeping before At this time I hadn’t had any sleep yet Also the pillows were rock hard They advertised room service for food and none of that was included I paid $700 for a day and a half and I would never go there again Also the carpets were filthy in the room and in the halls

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming The room was very clean and beautifully decorated The view was lovely (we were in room 401)

The AC works extremely well, I’m not sure where some of the complaints in other reviews came from We actually got too coldThe bed and pillows were very comfortable, as was the chaise lounge by the window I’ve never slept as good away from home as I did in this roomThere’s a small private beach and a pool We didn’t have time to swim but it looked like the other guests were very much enjoying themselves There’s also a rooftop bar that I did not get to visit and a restaurant we ordered food from It was very goodI will most definitely stay here again if I’m in the area! Highly recommend!

Mark Moeller

Very nice hotel located on a nice semi-isolated corner Views from room on the bay side were nice and we had two sunny days so it was worth it Pretty windy on the pool deck but very enjoyable sun down by the little private beach area

Valet parking only so have some cash ready- they are always there and they are efficient Very nice lobby area, little open restaurant, and barRoom was very clean and appealing Bathroom and clean and well-kept I had to request two separate items from front-desk and had them within 10 minutes both times My family had a very pleasant experience here, although it seems more suited for adults We would definitely stay here again

Anna-Lise Cordell

We stayed here the night of our wedding on honeymoon island in 2020 and for an early anniversary the year afterCheck-in was always easy, although I feel staffing may have been reduced to bare minimum during COVID and now they are struggling to get more staff or trying to see how much work they can pile on who’s there It’s never caused too much of a problem for us and service was always good but you can definitely tell they are being stretched thin

Breakfast was amazing both times in fact I filled up even though we had a reservation at Oyster Catchers nearbyThe roof top bar has beautiful views of the sunset and tasty cocktailsThe rooms had gorgeous views of the water, very romantic Although there were small issues with leaky shower doors or something minorI would still definitely recommend The Current as a place to stay or just watch the sunset on the rooftop

Excellent experience Stayed here for a convention in January Room was super clean and everything was functioning

Amenities for my room were nice (the mini fridge was a lifesaver), although I wish they included a microwave Housekeeping did an amazing job on all three times Every member of the staff I interacted with was helpful and friendly Location is in close proximity to restaurants and more I had a great stay and I recommend this hotel to others who stop by

Bahnstormer

First off staff is very accommodating and just plain nice From check in to the pool or bar area we encountered only excellent service Facility from the beautiful foyer area to the pool, outside bar or the restaurants are all top notch

Workout room is stocked like a professional gym Room was new,clean and comfortable Just a win-win stayMy only gripe would be at the bar seating area out back by the water there are no large ceiling fans or to that no fans at all It got a bit hot out there at times Id suggest nice fans to make more use of that beautiful patio area

Brianna O’Daniel

I stayed here for a conference and was very pleased with how clean and comfortable my room was I was even upgraded to a balcony room for no extra charge The staff were very helpful when I reached out about the shower not draining properly

They planned on coming that night but I just asked them to stop by in the morning when I was out, and when I returned to my room later they left a note saying everything was fixed I would definitely stay here again!

My friends and I stayed at this hotel this past weekend during a Kid Rock concert It was our first time in Tampa Florida and we checked in a bit late but Trish at the Front Desk was amazing!!!!!!! She went above and beyond every night of our stay She gave us great idea options for dinner plans during our stay and we loved every single recommendation

I will definitely be back soon! I work at a corporate office and we usually book domestic flights with hotels so I will absolutely let my manager about my stay here for our events I hope to see Trish and the helpful staff soon!

kimberly cox

Checkin was good, the lobby very pretty but very cold The staff was friendlyThe toilet was clogged so we put towels around it and called the front desk we let them know at 8 am when we got back to the hotel at 7 pm it still wasn’t fixed and had overflowed onto the towels we put down

We called again and they sent someone up to fix it but they didn’t send anyone to clean up so I cleaned it up and went to the front desk for fresh towels and told them about the towels in the bathroom those towels sat there for 3 days When we were checking out housekeeping asked if we needed anythingThe view of the bay was beautiful and guest services was nice Although we tried to buy our park tickets through the hotel since they were so much cheaper but no one knew how to get or sale us tickets

This hotel is AMAZING!!! If you are staying in downtown Tampa don’t miss out on this gem of a place in a former courthouse Upon arrival the staff was warm, welcoming and so nice Patrick and Kennie those kudos go to you! The valet guys were just as kind

We were taken aback by the beauty and history of this hotel along with all of the decor and details When we walked into our room it was CLEAN, modern, sleek and super comfortable We enjoyed the lovely pool which was perfect on a sunny Florida day Housekeeping came without being asked which was nice to return to a clean and refreshed room Location is great with restaurants nearby and walking distance to the convention center and arena Thank you Le Meridian for making our mini summer vacay one to remember We will be back to stay again once hockey season starts back!

Cool historic building Here for a company staff meeting and the service and food have been perfect Rooms are small as to bex expected in an old building but only sleeping in it makes it no big deal

Very nice furnishings and no old building smell Great to have an espresso bar available on the second floor Highly recommended for a corporate meeting location

Charles Schor

The Hotel is very centrally located in downtown Tampa The Hotel’s vibe is unique as it is a remodel from a Federal Courthouse Building The strong point of staying at this hotel is the attentive, customer focused staff

Our room had several problems Fortunately, Evelyn, quickly rectified the situation and moved us to another room that provided us a good nights rest Michelle, who works in the restaurant, exceeded our expectations when my wife had a chocolate cake craving and there was none to be found either in the hotel or in nearby establishments She found a slice of chocolate cake for her and left it in a bag for her after work hours! Additionally, if you are looking for a good hotel restaurant meal with a trendy decor, The Bizou Brasserie was great

I stayed three nights and felt very comfortable during my stay I feel like this is a great hotel The staff here was very helpful and friendly

The front desk was extremely accommodating and responsive to any request I ate at the restaurant for breakfast, had the yogurt parfait and waffles and it was great Went again for dinner another night and we got Greek salad and fish sandwich and it was good too The hotel grounds are well kept and it is easy to get to from the highway I swam in the pool and it was very nice So overall it is great!

Michael Kroeger

Very nice upscale venue Expansive grounds for a nice walk with an above average restaurant on the grounds The road in and out is not typical and a bit confusing on day one, but the more travelled the easier to negotiate

Staff were friendly, accommodating and helpful Interior was clean and neat as were the rooms Room was spacious and bed firm and comfortable Room had ample seating (sofa +3 chairs) to accommodate visiting guests Our traveling companions were not so lucky with only one chair A call to the front desk resulted in another chair delivered to the room 10 minutes later

Staying here was a wonderful experience! I had my wedding here and everyone was super nice and accomplished every step of the way It was a truly pleasurable experience We booked several of the casitas for the wedding weekend and it was perfect! The rooms were clean and in great condition

The beds were so comfortable The main hotel is beautiful! We ate at the hotel for breakfast and it was impressive, Totally worth checking out!

My partner and I came to stay for one night and I can honestly say The Haya is officially one of my favorite hotels to visit in Tampa The hotel is decorated beautifully and it is very clean with friendly staff The hotel is perfect for adults/couples

I didn’t hear any screaming kids which was perfect We went to Flor Fina the restaurant inside the hotel and it has this beautiful ceiling art piece in addition to the lightning and delicious food The restaurant has a smaller menu but trust me what they serve is made with care and lots of flavorTransportation is easy to find because there was the trolley train station near by and it’s free to rideThe hotel is a must visit

Jennifer D

Lovely boutique hotel complemented by excellent staff and service as well as a fantastic restaurant and bar While not overly luxurious, the modern styled room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was fine Our room overlooking the pool was quiet

The location was perfect for exploring Ybor and the surrounding areasThe MVP here is the staff From valet and front desk to waitstaff and housekeeping, the Hotel Haya employees were consistently professional, helpful and personable

william harwell

We recently stayed for two nights while in Tampa The hotel staff is wonderful!!! The hotel is exceptional!!!! The beds are pillow soft and the room is immaculate The coffee shop staff and menu offerings will not disappoint

The pool is resort quality The restaurant is four star! Once in, you’ll find it hard to exit the beautiful marble lined showers The water pressure soothes aching muscles All this for reasonable prices I can’t wait to return Thanks to all the hard working staff!!!!!!

Booked about 15 rooms here for an event downtown and was a bit nervous given the mixed reviews; however, everything was great The rooms are a bit older but mine was very clean and no one had any complaints Am diamond … executive lounge was nice looking and had some nice snacks, very good coffee, and good soft drinks

Wish it opened at 6 instead of 7 am but that was fine Complimentary breakfast for diamond members was quite nice Valet was quick Not sure why some have given less than good reviews Very good location Thank you for doing a nice job with my small group

Cristyle Wood Egitto

100% recommend this hotel Got upgraded to executive upon check in which was a pleasant surprise Great city views from the room

Bed was super comfy Nice toiletries Staff was all really friendly Valet kinda pricey but we self-parked and it’s downtown so can’t really do much there Great location So close to the waterfront, arena, Armeture, etc Has a Starbucks in the lobby and a nice restaurant/bar Would absolutely stay here again

Chemere Mathis

We traveled to Tampa to visit family & this was the perfect stay! The location was close to great restaurant & bars Valet was very convenient & professional The front desk receptionists were friendly & very helpful

Special S/O to Hashim that works the front desk ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ He ensured our stay was enjoyable from checking in & during the remainder of our stay It was pleasure to work with him!!The only concern I have is the rate of our room that was increased by $300 for one night before we checked out when we were told a different price by the front desk I’m hoping management or corporate will help to resolve this manner efficiently as I enjoy being a Hilton memberUpdate: Lucas reached out to resolve my concern & honor the amount that was given by the front desk Thank you all!

I really enjoyed my stay at Fairfield Inn Everything from the time I entered the building it was all great All of it was well worth me booking my stay with them

Big room and a big bed clean and fresh and bright Bathroom was way bigger than I thought it would be So places give you a great room But the bathroom are a after thought Hugh walk in shower which I love I will definitely staying with you guys my next visit anywhere

Jordan Dyce

If you’re a Marriott Bonvoy member STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL!!! Checked into this hotel today and requested my enhanced upgrade based on platinum bonvoy status Shawn the front desk attendant rudely stated that they don’t upgrade I told him that is not Marriott policy and my status is not based on the price of the room

He again refused saying his manager told him that was the policy at this hotel I called Marriott Bonvoy customer service and had a supervisor call the hotel and explain to them that they were violating Marriott policy They still refused saying that the General Manager created this policy and he is out of town and they won’t go against him Never been treated like this at any Marriott property I filed a complaint with Marriott and advise all elite members to stay away from these rude arrogant people There are many other Marriott properties in Tampa that won’t treat loyal customers like this

Sherree Ward

We love this hotel The people are very nice and helpful with what you need Beds are so comfortable and it’s great for my back, plus we slept great

Rooms are nice and clean Everywhere is quiet except for the lobby They do have a pool there not sure if it’s open we didn’t go swimming while there Hope to go back there if we ever get a chance too

Hotel is good location if you’re needing to be by the airport but a bit run down Smelled of mold and visible mold in the lobby (and air ducts) Hallways were extremely warm and AC in room could not keep up

Faucet in room was also loose, to the point of falling over Only stayed one night and four times within an hour, housekeeping knocked on the door, tried to enter the room, and called the room asking when we were leaving This was all after they tried to enter at 9am (without knocking) and we told them we had already gotten late check out (noon) Obviously we felt rushed out Additionally, breakfast was supposed to be included in our reservation but we were told it was not We were also double charged for parking (once on room bill and again at the pay station) Pool was nice with view of the bay but unfortunately industrial exhaust fans blow right next to the cafe/pool so it’s extremely loud Made it impossible to enjoy the pool/bar/view Only bright spot was that check in process was easy Absolutely would not return

Glasco Martin

Choice this location despite the many negative reviews, hoping that they ( reviewers) were somehow in the older section of the hotel and just had a bad experience It would only be for 1 night before moving downtown to the Embassy Suites Driving up, you can quickly see that there is nothing near the hotel as far as restaurants or activity

It looks like you’re driving through an office park Upon driving further you can see that the location is beautifully situated on the river That’s where the good stuff ends This hotel looks dated from the exterior, and it gets worse once you enter The lobby area is sad,dirty and dated The desk clerk seemed to be put out by me checking in There was no line whatsoever But she appeared to change her tune after finding out that I was a Hilton diamond member She immediately upgraded us to a room with a sunset view I felt hopeful that my wife would somehow be okay with my hotel pick I should have stopped here because the lobby had that old smell to it After getting the luggage and heading inside to our room, I could see the sour look on her face After getting into a dirty elevator, the look got worse Upon reaching our floor we were greeted by a dark hallway and dingy carpeting We had to weave our way around the two housekeeping carts to get to our doormind youthis is probably 6pm Upon getting inside the room, we immediately knew we couldn’t stay It was dark, old, dated and smelled musty We didn’t touch anything and immediately went down stairs to checkout and request our Hilton points back It took us an hour or two to find somewhere to lay our heads that night We ended up at a very nice Marriott property a few miles away No issues thankfully

Front desk and housekeeping ONLY-were friendly and helpful Parking was easy-pool was nice-beautiful view Now the reason for 2 stars-pool bar service were complete losers

Didn’t know to make a simple margarita! Not quick to serve and huge worthless attitude Any shift-any day Drinks were way overpriced Cafe breakfast was par however-the staff was marginal at best I spilled orange juice all over the table and floor accidentally-and I was the one who cleaned it up after three attempts to get staff help -then he finally came out with a dry hand towel and lightly brushed over the floor-the sticky table got nothing!! Lunch n dinner menu was marginal and the food was horrible with “can’t be bothered” service A complete joke for a restaurant The room-beds uncomfortable and the noise of the a/c was extremely loud The carpet was soaking wet in one corner: the solution was to bring a giant fan? That sounded like we were in an airport hanger cranking up a jet engine Why they couldn’t have moved us is beyond me The soap in the packaged supplies was like a plastic disc that never lathered up -I wasn’t sure if I was getting soap or not when I washed my hands
