    Disappointed the pool was only 9 inches deep, and only for wading and sitting in the pool in the chairs (they were nice.) The bed corners do stick out and both of us hit the bed frame corner several times-ouch! Odd that the check-in is on the 3rd floor. Would be helpful if on 1st floor.

    Loved the location, across from Ray's Stadium. We liked the room, chic and minimalist style, bed was perfect. Shower had great pressure, on 7th floor too! The hotel was VERY quiet-even being located next to hwy. Very clean and bright. Lots of games for all ages. Neighborhood was urbanized and quaint. Felt safe in and out. Free hot breakfast. We appreciate that they had their own coffee, tea, and hot water for Free 24hrs, rather than a typical Starbucks. Lots of snacks and beverages for very reasonably priced. Valet parking.

    Would've liked to have coffee in the room. Would've been nice to have a proper closet.

    Didn't have a chance to enjoy the breakfast, but did appreciate the coffee available in the lobby. Appreciated early check-in and late check-out.

    Practical option for girls weekend / Italian Fest at the Pier.

    • Queen Room with Two Queen Beds - Mobility Access

    Parking was expensive, although that seems to be true in many places. Soft drink prices were also high at the lobby and there were no vending machine options. We brought most of what we needed.

    The accessible room (our only option) was a good size for our group of four friends. We especially appreciated the free shuttle to the Pier, which made our visit to Italian Fest much more convenient. Breakfast was fine - nothing really stood out, but it met our needs. We appreciated the "always available" coffee and tea.

    The only downside to this hotel was the price hike during this busy weekend and the price of parking. It is valet parking but the price is fairly high.

    This is a clean, comfortable hotel with decent size rooms. The price was higher during our stay due to a wrestling event taking place up the road, but we felt that the location made the price worth it. This is the best hotel to stay in if you are heading to Tropicana Field.

    Having to pay for parking. No other option but valet parking. Told I can park my car but have to pay same daily rate. Other hotels don’t charge for parking and this line in other states has free parking with the stay.

    Love this hotel for the value. Stayed many times in other states.
