While there’s no on-site restaurant, the area is packed with walkable dining options, and your suite comes with a microwave, full-size fridge, and dishwasher if you want to keep leftovers or prep something easy.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans chill and family-friendly, you’re within easy reach of local bars and lounges around the USF area and just a quick ride away from Tampa’s downtown nightlife scene. After the show, relax by the outdoor fire pit or hang out in your suite with your crew.

Poor - 0.5 out of 5

Horowitz Mon, 9 June 2025

Unexpected

Liked: We did enjoy the setup of the room. Almost like a studio apt.
Disliked: The lady who checked us in was very nice. Told us there is only 1 elevator in the building. When we walked into the room, there was an overpowering chemical cleaner smell. I found that every room has the carpet cleaned, which is great, but the smell is just overpowering and stayed in the room our entire stay. We did mention it to the front desk, and she said, "oh we've heard that before. It's just our cleaner." When we went down to the pool (way too small for everyone) there were no towels available. We had to let the front desk know they needed to be restocked. The shower also was very slippery. Actually had to hold on not to fall.
