Catherine, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

They gave away our room!

I took my nieces and nephew to Busch Gardens for the day so we didn't get to the hotel to check in until after 8pm. I had a reservation for a room with 2 queen beds, well the management gave our room away without contacting us. So instead they gave us a room with one bed. ONE for four people. They gave me a snack bag and a cot, like that is supposed to make everything better. Needless to say, I was really unhappy.

The toilet wouldn't flush even after they sent up someine to 'fix' it twice. The a/c didn't work. had to turn it off to keep from freezing The bed was comfortable, but no other place to sit in bedroom to watch tv/ Nice view of trees

This is an absolute amazing place to stay from the moment you walk in the door. It’s beautiful, very clean, everything in the room was operational, staff was over the top friendly which our made our stay wonderful. We will definitely recommend and we will be coming back.
Joanne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Service was excellent. Front desk staff was very attentive to any requests. Bed was comfortable. And breakfast was good. On the downside booked a two double and was put in a king room which was smaller. Cover to refrigerator freezer was broke and fell out every time you opened it. And the bedroom carpet smelled like chemicals used to cover up pet odor/stains. No toiletries in bathroom. Towels were subpar. This hotel is in serious need of a complete remodel.
Tracy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My review was 10/10

The staff was excellent and the Hilton Honors Vacation Brand Ambassador Mathew was excellent for another unfortunate incident l had.
Vivian, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We’ve spent numerous trips at this location, however this will be our last. Every time we visit, something goes wrong. For $200 per night, I don’t expect bedsheets to be thrust into my arms and told to make up the sofa bed myself!
Antoinette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was very close to fantastic restaurants, shopping malls, and Bush Gardens. The breakfast was delicious my only wish is if they had a non-pork option for meat with the omelette. Overall we would come again
Janina, 1-night trip

Well maintained for age of property. Staff was nice.
Lisa, 1-night trip

I didn’t like that guests have to pay for parking, but the fact that this hotel offers pretty good breakfast and happy hour, as well as a dine-in restaurant for dinner was awesome.
Tiffany, 1-night trip

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The staff was over the top, friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was outstanding. My suite was perfect thank you so much for everything. Shout out to the shuttle driver who drove me back and forth to Moffitt Cancer center.
