We stayed at this great hotel on a stressful trip to the hospital in Tampa. We were warmly welcomed by Tara at the front desk upon arrival. After a long day, Alyce in the tiki bar made us feel very relaxed while we watched the kids enjoy the pool! Judy was our very attentive waitress at dinner. In the morning,... More

We stayed here on a quick trip to Tampa because it was only 10k priority club points. Great deal! The property is a little older but they really made it very nice. The pool area is great, very tropical. The rooms are not the nicest (older) and show signs of age, but definitely acceptable. Service was excellent, Hank at the... More

As a family of 4 (kids aged 11 & 9) we stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in May 2013 as a base for Busch Gardens. Unlike most of the Holiday Inn hotels I stay at in the UK, this definetly feels more tourist orientated than business, however it would still meet business stay requirements. The suites are very...

The hotel is the perfect location for travelers with kids going to Busch Gardens or Adventure Island. The service was top-notch, despite the staff being very busy. Everyone wore a smile & always greeted us. Tara at the front desk is full of personality...she greeted us with pleasantries & light chat during our entire three night stay. Keith, the chef... More

If your going to Busch Gardens this hotel is minutes away and offers a free shutlle service. Entire hotel was very clean. Room was very comfortable and quiet. Great continental breakfast. Only downside was pool seemed to be unheated and wi-fi was a bit spotty.

The location is very convenient for MOFFITT patients. There is a small dining room that serves breakfast and dinner. The menu is limited. There is a center courtyard with a pool. On the down side, they could spend more time on housekeeping. Our room did not even have a shower curtain on the tub.
