Business Trip

A nice place to stay that has a continental breakfast included. It also has a swimming pool that is s very well maintained, and a great place to cool off after being in the very intense heat. Rooms are clean with desk, tv and stand up refrigerator. Not far from the airport or the downtown area. Give it a try!!!

2nd Stay Conv to Tampa General

This was our second stay. We visit TGH annually for a heart check and this hotel is very close without tons of traffice. It is an older hotel, but well kept and has been updated in many areas. Staff was friendly and the breakfast is pretty good. Could use some fresh fruit, but otherwise good.
