Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests enjoy a daily continental breakfast — ideal after a late night out. Several casual eateries and fast-food spots are just a short drive or walk away. Though room service isn’t available, in-room coffee makers and nearby dining options make refueling easy.

Nightlife Options

Although the hotel doesn’t host live music or have an on-site bar, it’s close to Tampa nightlife. Head downtown or toward Ybor City for bars, lounges, and late-night spots — then retreat to your quiet hotel room for some rest. It's a great base if you want to party, then escape the party.

What People Say

Reviews often highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and convenient location. Many guests love the free breakfast and appreciate the comfort and value, especially for short stays tied to events or concerts. The hotel’s peaceful setting is also a frequent plus for those wanting to decompress after a high-energy show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor feels a bit dated and that the soundproofing isn’t perfect — bring earplugs just in case. While the pool is a nice perk, it’s on the smaller side and can get busy. Still, for the price, most travelers feel it’s a solid deal.
