“The impression I get is of a reliably clean and spacious place near Tampa's attractions; the heated pool and breakfast stand out, although some may find the breakfast less impressive. A solid choice if you appreciate a no-fuss stay with friendly service and convenient parking. Overall, this seems like a practical option at a reasonable price.”
