I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The location is ideal, right in the heart of downtown Tampa, making it convenient to explore the city. The service was top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff. However, the lack of overhead lighting in the rooms was a bit of a downside, yet the comfortable king bed made up for it.
