Great place, and great visit – safe, comfortable, and convenient to Tampa at a great price! The owner / manager (Bruce? I’m terrible with names!) was very quick and helpful in getting me checked in I stayed in the Amsterdam dorm with 6 beds There were 3 other guests who were friendly and quiet

The bed was comfortable – I slept like a log! And I had room to hang my gear The kitchen and shower were all nearby – convenient and just right Unique decor, and great experience I’ll be back! Not sure what happened to my first review, so my apologies if this is a repeat

Nicole Caparella

Super cool vibe, lots of cool space to hang out outside, I took a bunch of pics of painted artwork on some of the spaces outside I got the rock n roll room and it was immaculately clean and the bathroom was unexpectedly fancy and the bed I would like to bring with me everywhere lol Mary and (blanking on his name) were excellent hosts making me feel at home

When I stayed, there were some college students from Amsterdam, a really cool couple that jammed out on guitar and it was just a very peaceful vibe! Coming back next time I’m in the area 💯

Paloma Gonçalves

I had a great time here! I stayed for one week and it was amazing Hostel with hippie vibe Every night, Bruce would turn on the hot tub for us There was a live jam in one of the days and it was great

There is also free breakfast included Bruce (the owner) tries to get to know the guests! Very friendlyThe internet speed is pretty good I was working from there without any issues

I would rate our stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites 20 Stars if I could They couldn’t have been any more accommodating! We were able to check-in early, which was awesome We stayed in a junior suite which, was spotless and the bed was ridiculously comfortable

The towels were actually normal sized and so soft The staff, every last one of them, we’re so nice and super helpful And, we got breakfast to boot! Granted, there are a number of less expensive options in the area but, the Fairfield Inn & Suites is proof positive that you get what you pay for!!

Adrienne Crim-mcmorrow

The hotel had a great breakfast and breakfast staff Housekeeping skipped cleaning our room even though we were out for the day, which was a bummer, especially because when the room wasn’t clean visually, the musty smell of the room seemed all the more gross The smell was mostly likely from the AC unit leaking onto the carpet, because I could hear dripping water after it was running for several minutes

We stayed here our 4th night on the road and let me just say it This place was exceptional Very clean

Even the fitness center was beautifully maintained The breakfast was better than a restaurant Piping hot and tasty The woman in charge of the whole dining experience was very friendly but not at all invasive She was treated everyone like she was happy they chose to be there We would stay here again I thought I had taken pictures but I guess I didn’t

Jeff Ruth

We can’t recommend this hotel They cancelled our reservations the morning of our arrival

right as we were in the middle of a 12 hour drive to stay with them We had no other options in the area and had to sleep with some friends on their couch Their reasoning for the cancellation they said our booking on Expedia was not a guarantee as we needed 2 beds and a pull-out sofa for my son They said that was a “request” The room was paid for and for all we knew we were set I’ve never had a hotel do this to us before If you booked with them directly you may be fine If you use a third-party website I’d avoid this place You are not a priority

Maggie Flynn

Hotel is clean and everything and have amenities, but the hours are so limited on the pool, it makes it hard to enjoy and of them, especially if you are only staying one night Check in isn’t until 4pm, leaving you 15 hours to swim when the sun sets at 5:30

Or 3 hours if the sun sets at 7 It’s just not accommodating at all Then they tell you (rudely) that you can hang out at the fire pits as long as you don’t “make any noise” Those were the exact words of three person at the front desk We are already dreading our stay and it hasn’t even started yet

Wonderful location Bed super comfortable Electric locks took some getting used to

But would certainly stay here again When we asked for help they showed up within 20 minutes and we’re very helpful They were easy to reach if any issues happened The full-size fridge was extremely helpful since we were here as part of a wedding party 10/10

Marcia Green

The MarBay Suites is a small, quaint motel with a kitchenette in the room (full-size fridge and microwave) The owners are working hard on updating all units, and it shows The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the room was clean

We would stay there again! Be sure to check out the beautiful Philippe Park – just a short way down the road

Saiem Novak

The rooms are a great place to lay your head and the laundry is free for all guests However I was surprised to see tiny and medium sized roached and how laxed the owner was about them being in the room While there was negotiations of a refund and an offer of a free room to change our review

The offer was taken when asked to use it The owner is friendly and nice, but don’t expect anything to be done in the right way Other than that I’ll be alright with returning if needed to stay with my own spray to combat the bugs Thank you Mar Bay for the awesome room, it was beautiful and relaxing enough as it is

This place is the BEST! I recently stayed for a weekend and accidently left my work computer in my room I realized when I got home The office manager and staff were so helpful and kind

They helped with the return and I was so grateful I had a shipping company pick up my computer and I received it back in perfect condition Definitely the place to stay! Thank you! Thank you!

Javier Carranza

When getting a hotel like La Quinta Inn, you need to remember you’re not staying at the Sheraton or Embassy Suites You’re getting something affordable, convenient, and reliable which is exactly what it was! So I’m typically not as picky or critical if something is going on I needed a place to stay for a few days and I got a very comfortable stay

Rooms were a little outdated but cozy, breakfast was nice but there wasn’t much variety And all of that is fine! It’s not the Sheraton rememberThe location to Busch Gardens was awesome and a short Uber/Lyft away and there were some shops about a 10-15 minute walk away which was convenient The staff was extremely friendly and was helpful in answering any question or dealing with any issue I had They were awesome and a big part of the reason why I enjoyed my stayThe stay wasn’t perfect, there was some issues with the toilet, a little water leaked from the AC window unit and I had to get a new key card because mine didn’t work for my room Did I want this to happen? Absolutely not, but for the price I paid and convenience I was okay with it

magaly ramos

The bathroom it’s too low to the floor do you need to update the room more model The carpet needs to go they look really old! The people works there they’re really nice the lobby everything smells good but they need new carpet update to look nicer! The only thing I don’t like the doors when you go in the room they make tuna too much noise you sure slam doors all night

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

Melinda Yu

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

I don’t know why this place is rated as a “2-star hotel” because it’s so much better! I stayed here for 7 days and it was a good experience Kim at the front desk was so personable and warm, & I felt reassured that I had made a good choice She shared details about the property based on where my room would be, and even called to check if I was comfortable a few hours after I settled in

Every interaction with her after that was consistently friendly & pleasant My room was well maintained and very clean The A/C worked with zero issues and the WiFi was high speed connection Where do you get top-notch service like that at a “2-star hotel”?The pool & hot tub was sparkling clean, grounds well kept, housekeepers always around, no garbage left in the outside bins for long etc anywhere The spacious pool & gazebo area was actually one of the nicest I’ve seen at a hotel You can lounge around and not be on top of everyone elseI’d definitely stay here again

Isaac Small

Preface: I don’t often write good reviews For a more entertaining review you may look at others which I have writtenThis is a place where the trash cans are never full

The room was clean when I got there and the AC was cold When the AC quit working the maintenance man was knocking on my door within 10 minutes to swap it out… an ordeal which was over in 5 minutes The Concierge, Andrew, works until midnight and claims to be the maintenance supervisor, but he will tell you where to go and what to eat if you ask him It’s hard to find someone so committed to a hotel that they have worked there 20 years but Andrew has and it shows I once saw him swap out a refrigerator after 11pm after a guest complaint I heard rumors that the pool is excellent, the hot tub is world class and the free breakfast is one of the best but I never tried any of that What I found amazing is Ginger Ale in both vending machines and a vending machine with ICE CREAM The diner next door, Lenny’s, also deserves a visit The best part of the room is the patio, but the towels are also fluffy

Dorothea Burkot

I travelled solo and I loved the service at this hotel! It was clean, and you have everything you need in this hotel where it includes breakfast! I really liked, and there was fresh water infused with fruits that was made everyday! It is close to everything! I felt safe staying here I definitely will return! I do recommend this hotel

We stayed for four nights with our travel baseball team – which can be A LOT! The entire staff was very patient and friendly with all of us and our kids The gym was great and the dining and pool areas were as well The room was clean and spacious and the staff was very attentive – especially Nadia

She was very sweet to the kids and families, we all loved her! Thanks so much for making our stay so enjoyable

Nancy Bailey

We had a great stay, especially when we had mentioned we were a family of 5 rooms staying for a funeral, they put us all within 2 doors or just across the hall from each other The hostess for breakfast Nadia, was totally amazing Waking up to her kindness and care she showed to each of us was fabulous

She took the time to greet us and ask for anything we wanted or needed Her individual interest and interaction was above and beyond typical service Nadia each morning would make us mini waffles, and her smile and charm very enlightening We all love you Ms Nadia! 😍

We stayed at this property while in the Tampa area for a golf weekend What a tremendous staff balancing a bunch of adult golfers and twice as many soccer families Breakfast was fresh, hot and plentiful

Bar staff, very friendly and fun Pool area is separated from an outdoor patio, so adults can enjoy the great outdoors without being splashed, while families enjoyed themselves as well Overall, an easy hotel to get to, lots of restaurants nearby Accommodations very comfortable and spacious

Hailey Nesta

This was my first time staying at this hotel Overall, the lobby area was really clean and newThe room was really impressive, starting with the large couch, comfy bed and nice clean bathroom

The reason I provided your location with 2/5 stars was my experience with some of the employees Check out is at 12pm To constantly have housekeeping knock at my door every couple minutes after around 11am is annoying and frustrating That lasthour I shouldn’t be bothered by housekeeping Checkout isn’t until 12pm Then, I go to checkout and the lady is sitting on the phone not even acknowledging me as a guest I wanted to charge my snack to my room then simply checkout and go I had absolutely no interaction with the front desk agent It’s disappointing to see that over the phone guests matter more than the paying guest standing in-front of you After this experience with the employees, I don’t know if I will return back to this hotel

Terra T.

Great place to stay I was happy with it, it’s not a full service Marriot but has continental breakfast It has a pool and 24 hour gym

The bed was very comfortable It included a little bar area with sink, microwave and really cold fridge The only thing I didn’t like was the shower curtain was too short and water got all over the place

So, let’s get the one and only negative that I can maybe see someone saying out of the way the hotel was a tad “dated”

And even that is just being picky! However, that being said it was VERY clean and VERY comfortable Without hesitation, I would absolutely stay here again The staff was very helpful and our stay was comfortable We stayed in room 311 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Dora Breckinridge

My husband and I stayed here for two nights, and it was fine While the hotel itself is quiet, the room we had was not; we faced the road, and even on the third floor it sounded like cars were zooming loudly right by the windows, and the air conditioning was very loud as wellI personally felt the bed was hard as a rock – the mattress is EXTREMELY firm

It didn’t help that the pillows were all very small and flimsy (we got two extras from the front desk, which didn’t help) We both tossed and turned and woke up soreThat said, if you like a really (really) hard bed and don’t mind outside traffic, this place is a fine choice It was clean, the staff was friendly, and it’s very convenient The water also gets VERY hot, which is great if you like your showers scalding like I do We’ll likely stay here again, but probably bring our own pillows – and maybe ask for a room that isn’t right on a busy six lane road

Marnette Severance

Accommodating Despite My Error and the BEST Breakfast EverWe were in town to do some sightseeing in Tarpon Springs/TS and Safety Harbor We decided to stay overnight in Tarpon Springs for a full day of sightseeing and travel the short distance to Safety Harbor the next morning We are loyal Hilton guests and were happy to find a Hampton Inn in TS

I received a quizzical look at check-in after giving my name Turns out I was a day early! Despite my error, the exact room preference was available, and I was relieved especially after a long day on our feet in the hot sunThe room was very clean, and all amenities were in working order We are particular about light and found the reading lamps to be bright enough to read by Our 4th floor room was in the corner so no one on either side made for an especially quiet night Water temperature and pressure were very good I always bring my own pillow; my husband commented that his were medium The beds were comfortable Parking is free of charge Yes, the hotel is on busy US Highway 19 N but we were not bothered at all by the traffic on the pool side of the buildingWe are fond of the coffee station at the Hampton Inn properties especially after a travel day This one is in the soaring great room with lots of light and spacious seating It is the perfect spot to gather and chatThe breakfast was phenomenal After Covid, it was so refreshing to come back to a full, hot breakfast and this hotel does it up right with many choices: waffles, eggs, breakfast meat, yogurt, pastries, bagels, juices, oatmeal and fresh fruitBut the crown jewel of the breakfast was Miss Lonna who has been with the hotel for a couple of years Shegreeted and warmly welcomed every single guest In all of the Hilton properties we’ve stayed, we’ve never had such a welcome like Miss Lonna It is apparent she loves her job to be as sincere and cheerful as she is As an extra service, she came around to each table to ask how everything was and if she could be of any assistance We would return to this property again just for the breakfast experienceAfter a good night’s sleep, we were on our way to Safety Harbor for another day of sightseeing

This is a really nice place for the price The rooms are very large (like a tiny apartment) and have really nice features such as Microwave, fridge/freezer, cups, silverware, and plates 2 full size beds, couch and dining room table

3 sinks total! Free 2 pretzel snacks and 2 little chocolate was in the kitchen area for newcomers which was quite niceThe bathroom is also very spaciousThe beds are quite comfortable, not hard like many other places They have a slight bounce to themService is pretty good although only available in the morning between 7-10am So if you need anything it needs to be requested during those timesThe main entrance area has a pool table, books and board games to check outIt also had a lot of nice outside activities, pool, pickleball, and shuffleboard, Cornhole etcReally think if you’re in the area you should definitely give this place a shot!

Lourdes Rodriguez

This is a great place to stay I booked 2 rooms The rooms are clean, no bugs, no bedbugs, no carpet so, no bad smell either

The facilities are great, they are pet friendly and even have a doggy park You have a pool and other amenities that are well kept The office administration was great, super friendly and understanding, always going above and beyond to make your one our stay even better Super closed to shops and restaurants and only minutes away from Honeymoon Island I am definitely coming back with my family and I recommend 100%!!!!Thank you for a great stay!

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

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%

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

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any room This site will compare thousands of booking websites and usually will have rooms much cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of my favorites in the area

I have been coming here for years If you stay for a few days you won’t be let downStill features one of the most elegant Sunday brunches in the area, although there are no real safety precautions which was a bit disappointing Food is fresh and well -prepared with a wide assortment of breakfast and lunch/dinner fare The buffet includes a free mimosa, unlimited coffee, hot or iced tea and soft drinks

As a venue for a wedding, it was a great choice Absolutely incredible dinner service, bar was great, and lighting was well managedFor the hotel/spa, sub-par

Pool is nice, but crowded Limited chairs and towels Charges for spa were supposed to be waived for wedding, but wouldn’t remove a small $32 charge because it was booked through a third party Not a big deal, but more of the principal of the matter Room service was running behind for a morning breakfast (scheduled) 21% gratuity is automatic and the price on the menu didn’t match the price on the bill Very unfortunate considering a gratuity is linked to serviceThe entire hotel needs a coat of paint and a pressure wash outside Multiple parts of the hotel either smelled of mildew or bleach The room was clean and well stocked, but the towels were rough The furniture could definitely use an upgradeRecommendation for management/owners, whoever is the hospitality manager for the venue/wedding operations should be put in charge of all the others operations as well Perhaps they would bring the service level up and we’d stay again

Went for spring break with my son to catch Yankee spring training A relative set us up with a 2 night stay From check in to check out was nice place

Could use better water pressure and room updates But beds were comfortable Food at hotel was solid And the surrounding areas have places to eat Was a too short trip He will return with friends next year

Great hotel, clean rooms, pool was cold but nothing a bit of sunburn won’t cure The staff was great and very polite Oddly, in the middle of the night, the water goes out

I recomend fixing that water issue and having more shaded areas around the patio We would definitely go back

Codie Sanders

If you’re looking for a place to stay in the north Tampa/Citrus Park area this is it! It’s one of the few hotels in the Tampa area with FREE PARKING! The hotel is pretty new and has lots of seating areas in the lobby for anyone who needs to get some work done The breakfast food options are decent and will range between $12-$15 There’s a great outside seating area with a fire pit

The rooms are a decent size and are pretty comfortable There’s a desk in each room that make getting work done easy The bathrooms are modern and very cleanAdditionally the hotel is next to a walking trail which is very convenient for walking, running or biking There are several food options nearby and within walking distance from the hotel There’s also a mall and shopping center nearby

A++++++ THANK YOU JASMINE & RAMONA !!!! I haven’t reviewed a hotel in a whole long time but these two people at Marriott here really made me feel welcome They had all my room preferences taken into consideration and offered me so much during my check in 💙💯I really appreciate the wonderful, very clean, comfortable room you have for me

Not only did they take the time to rebook my next room for the rest of the weekend, Thank you Jasmine They also helped me with getting my laundry done by borrowing me a few quarters from their own pocket, thank you Ramona 🙂🙏You both really are great and kind, and they should have more people such as yourselves working or training others at property’s that don’t go all the way like you both have 🔥🤙🇺🇸💜Sincerely,Joe

We usually stay at Comfort Inn but decided to “up our game” on this trip The problem started when we arrived They were resealing the asphalt parking lot so a lot of it was blocked off and what few places were left was taken by cars and trucks parking sideways across multiple parking spaces and still others were blocked by orange cones

The second night, the desk attendant told my daughter to park far away in a dark parking lot Didn’t care about the cars parked sideways Didn’t show any compassion to the situation at all I moved a cone and took a spotThe room was decent The window gave us a great view of the roof of part of the lower building and side of another part of the building The beds, in my opinion, were not as comfortable as the other hotels I mentioned The A/C worked great The room was cool when we entered and it got cooler very fast The thermostat had some blown LCD’s but you can tell the temperature well enoughThe ice machine is right beside the elevatorOne curious thing was that the trash bags were just laid across one lip if the trashcans (bathroom and bedroom cans) I mean, even Motel 6 puts the open bags in the cans so they can be used and trash taken out easily, but these trashcans had the new, unopened bags just draped over one rim Do they expect me to pay more for a room and also open the bags myself? That isn’t going to happenThe bathroom had a hanging “barn door” which was cool The handle to the tub felt loose I thought it could fall off but it didn’t The water pressure was great Good hot water But there was a small sulphur smell to the water This could be a Florida thing because the water at my in-laws smells and tastes the same so can’t hold that against HiltonMy daughter purchased breakfast with the room NO FREE BREAKFAST? Even Quality Inn has free breakfast But at least the breakfast here is real eggs which was nice You can order specially cooked eggs (omelets, over easy, etc) Browned potatoes, bacon, sausages, bagels, muffins, juices (apple, orange, pink grapefruit) I didn’t look at what else was offered And even though the meal was part of the room deal, when we asked for the omelets, we were brought a bill It had “complementary” written across it But 2 omelets was $28? I know it was for the omelets because the second morning we just had the buffet But apparently the bill was brought for a tipI think I’ll stick with my favorite hotels from now on With the parking problem and the lack of concern from the desk clerk and the weird thing with the trash bags, it soured me on “fancier” hotels I’m sorry if the management doesn’t like this review, but this was our stay Don’t like not getting rave reviews, fix the problems mentioned

Family is the word that describes this wonderful hotel Been here on a family emergency this folks has been so helpful showing us how to get around and giving us a ride when we needed During breakfast the young lady name barbie really took good care of of and very knowledgeable about the area and pointed us to right direction as well as taking goodcare of us During breakfast

ask for barbie she’s a peach what a wonderful person Thank you barbie 😊

Christine Wilkins

This was a staycation to visit family and this hotel deserves more than 5 stars The pictures don’t give it justice Our room was thoroughly cleaned and I liked that even the remote was sealed with plastic post pandemic

And the receptionist Agnus (something along those lines) was one of the best receptionist I’ve encountered From greeting as soon as we walked in and from making sure we were ok each time we crossed paths And the breakfast was really good buffet style but wish it was free breakfast but 1294 per person isn’t bad either

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

Robert Cosme – Blood Hound

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

The hotel was a little older, but was in the middle of a remodel The room was clean There was plenty of storage to unpack for the week

AMAZING food just around the corner, Thai, Sushi, Poke, and Seafood! The best part of the hotel was the legit fitness center Most just have some dumbbells and a treadmill This gym had enough equipment to do a complete workout! Breakfast in the AM isn’t included, but the staff is so friendly and helpful that I didn’t mind having to pay!

Kayla Larimore

We have stayed here a few times when visiting family The location is great right off of Tampa Road – you can easily get to many local destinations The hotel itself is nice but not too pricey

The kids enjoy the pool and the adults the hot tub We have frequently noticed there are no pool towels and had to ask for more at the front desk No issues with cleanliness or staff Good stay for a family vacation!

Ashley

I have stayed at this location twice and both experiences were great!Mario at the front desk is amazingHe is super friendly and very kind(both times) Definitely an asset to this hotelBreakfast staff are very attentive and helpful also

Thanks Hilton garden inn,you guys rock!
