Pillows smelled really bad, not sure why. breakfast was also bad but expected. AC would randomly turn on and make a loud noise and wake us up. But the worst part was the stinky pillows on the bed

if you like bed bugs, worms on your bathroom floor or random cockroaches-this is your spot. Unaccommodating manager is a bonus. Marriott should be aware and ashamed. Marriott lost a customer.

Solid, but I have been to better Residence Inn's in Florida. WiFi was fine, breakfast did not have as many options as some other Residence Inn's, and Staff was mostly friendly (other than the women wearing a head covering), but lacked the positive energy that exists at similar hotels in the Fort Lauderdale area. Gym TVs did not work, which was weird. Cleaning staff did a nice job. There is not a lot that is close to this hotel in terms of restaurants - you'll need to drive 15 minutes or so. Towels for pool are not readily accessible -- you have to ask for them.

Stay away from this place. Marriott should be ashamed of themselves for having their name on this building. I was given a room with virtually no water pressure. I notified the desk who claimed that it was because "the pipes are old"! If they are so old the hotel shouldn't be open I thought to myself. She apparently believed her own story because no one was sent to repair the problem. And it was a "story" because kitchen sink waterflow was fine. The next staff member was more understanding but no more successful. He apologized and offered me another room, which I accepted. So I packed my belongings and headed to the new room to find it had not been cleaned, the bed pillows were still rumpled. After many apologies i was told there was nothing else available and I would have to go back to the same room. So I did and lived out of my suitcase for a couple more days. I also couldn't leave the AC on because the vents directed cold air to my face while in bed. I finally couldn't take it any more and decided to check out early. Oye!

Property was in a nice, quiet area. But the property & room are outdated & needs to be cleaned better. Bathroom sink & tub is dingy. Smudges on doors. Bed was fine - clean & comfortable. Plenty of parking spaces. Breakfast was typical but the hot food items are mostly warmed up pre-packaged food. On check out, the front desk lady asked if everything was ok with my stay? I said I’m disappointed with the room. She didn’t ask why. Looks like they don’t plan to make things better anytime soon.

We travelled as a family of two school going kids. We had a good stay. Decent bed rooms, good kitchen and amenities. Nice front desk people. Good place to stay. It would be even better if they could make the laundry facilities as open-use for guests (instead of having it as a coin laundry). In general, happily recommending this place for future travellers.

From the front desk to Mr. Chris, they made our stay awesome. Mr. Chris made sure my husband who needed a comfortable room was taken care of. Mr. Chris even helped me with our luggage. Breakfast was absolutely delicious with many options. One night, I wanted coffee, and the night lady offered to make fresh coffee for me. This is a hotel that really cares for their customers. Thank you so much! I didn't want to leave!

The overall stay was okay. I experienced an issue when my air conditioning unit quit working overnight. I was awaken due to the warmth and sweat pouring off me. I called the front desk and was told that maintenance should be in around 9am. No other solution was offer, so I asked if I could get a fan. The attendant said that I could get a fan, if I wanted to come get it. Your A/C unit has stopped working in the middle of the night, and I have to get dressed, put on shoes, and come down to the front desk to pick up a fan…then carry it back to the room? I thought that was inconvenient and highly inconsiderate. Later that morning, I had to call back to the front desk (around 10 am) to ask if someone was coming to service the A/C.

When we arrived, we were given a room that was not the same as the one we had paid for. The desk attendant indicated that she had had the issue before where the room booked through hotels.com or another third party didn’t match what was booked on the Marriot system, but made no effort to adjust the room or assist us. As you pass the front desk and make your way toward the rooms there is a damp, musky smell that increases as you get further into the building. We were on the top floor at the end of the hallway and it was pretty strong. Thankfully, you could not smell this odor in the room and it seemed to be isolated to the hallways. The room, itself, was spacious, but the bathroom was clearly missed in the last servicing, as there was a layer of dust and hairs in the shower. Overall, wouldn't stay again, but it was fine for the night.

the pictures on the website shows a basketball court and I drove with my family for 5 hrs from Miami to this location in Tampa just because of the basketball court. at the Time we arrived the front desk lady told us the basketball court is not existing amymore since two years ago. very dissapoimted

Renovated , spacious and clean facility . Family friendly with excellent breakfast and clean pool . Lot of parking Showers are new but no hand held shower faucet or water taps , which is highly inconvenient to families with little children or infants and seniors or assisted occupants. Also we stayed for three days and they don’t have house keeping . They call it as refreshing where they only replace towels . Even at the end of second day we had to call the front desk to get new towels .

The hitel in general was a great place. Only things we can complain about is the hard bed and the air handler was located close to the bed and rather loud. As well the temperature in the room was very inconsistent. There were times when we woke up sweaty and other times we were cold. Im not sure why hotels buy hard beds. If someone was to complain that a bed was to soft im sure others who were reading a comment wouldn't care.

The hotel boasts a convenient location, with downtown Tampa just a short distance away. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the room was spacious and comfortable. However, the cleanliness fell short of expectations. I found dead cockroaches near the bed and nightstand, and the shower was not thoroughly cleaned. Additionally, the bathroom exhaust fan was damaged. The breakfast was basic and traditional, similar to what other hotels offer with their inclusive breakfast packages. Overall, I would rate my stay 3 out of 5 stars.

Right after checking in my son showed me there was a dirty toilet seat, something under the seat that was missed during cleaning looked like feces on the underside of the toilet seat. Luckily we always travel with a small pack of cleaning supplies. There also looked to be water damage of some sort in the room on the right side of the bed. Looked to be from a leak of some sort. Hopefully there wasn’t any mold, the bed was the most uncomfortable bed. My wife and I have ever stayed in with a Marriott and the pullout was not much better according to my kids. The second night was very hard to sleep, there were a bunch of kids running up and down the halls and above our room. The staff was very nice but even though I’m not one to complain. It seemed to be booked up and we just dealt with the issues while we were there. Hopefully there isn’t any mold from the water leak and we don’t get sick. I’ve uploaded pictures.

The desk staff at both check in and out were very friendly and helpful. The burning firpit by the pool was cozy and it looks like their fitness center was nice. The issues we had- water pressure was the worst I have ever experienced (even when I traveled outside the country). The bed was too firm for our liking and the bathroom had some old water stain behind the door. The breakfast was very nicely appointed and the area to eat was also very spacious and loved ESPN playing in the morning.

A huge safety concern are the windows. We were on the third floor with the toddler who was able to open the window. Thankfully, my husband and I were right there with him because we keep a very close eye on him being a boy, he likes to get into a lot of things. But he was able to open the window since it was left unlocked, there was no screen, and the window actually opened. God forbid him, or a smaller child fall out of the window. I really could not believe that there were no screens on the window, and that they opened in the first place. I've never been to a hotel that had working windows for this exact safety reason. Breakfast was not great at all. Hardly any healthy options, and the sausage was literally gray. The lady at breakfast who was supervising was kinda rude. There was mold in the hot water pitcher, the bed was comfortable, but the linens were very rough and scratchy

It was just a whole total mess and I understand things happen but she treated me and Employee that came in very rudely. I will not return here.
