La estadía de dos noches en este hotel fue buena. El cuarto limpio, el desayuno excelente y tanto el check-in como el check-out sin problema. Pero debo hacer notar dos inconvenientes que tuve: la primera noche el frío fue muy alto y la calefacción no funcionó y además en el baño notamos que la botella con el body washer estaba desocupada, no tenía jabón. Intenté llamar por teléfono pero la línea no funcionaba. Bajé al front desk y reporté estos inconvenientes. Para la noche siguiente habían solucionado lo de la calefacción pero no lo del jabón en la ducha; lo reporté por tercera ocasión y lo que hicieron fue enviarme un jabón pequeño para manos. Adicionalmente creo que al utilizar los servicios del hotel, no se debería tener una tarifa para el parqueo.

Incredibly disappointed, especially by Hilton standards. The bathrooms had mold and mildew in the corners. There was no hot water for the showers. At best it got to a lukewarm temperature. The air conditioning did not work properly. It rattled and did not cool the room. Temperatures stayed over 80 degrees in the room. The shower leaked with a substantial dripping noise. Luckily the rattling air drowned that out! The breakfast was okay. However I had to go to a special line that was not posted to ask for breakfast meat. In general it looked like they cut way too many corners, death by a thousand paper cuts. I’ve stayed at Motel 6 rooms with results!

A nice hotel in a good Location near Moffitt. Rooms are big with 2 TV's. Has decent breakfast and evening happy hour complimentary. Paid parking is confusing as they don't explain it. There are signs telling you to use your phone to pay for parking. My phone doesn't have any payment options on it. Terrible system.

The best part of my stay was Anna the front desk associate! She truly was amazing! Aside from that the hotel only gets 3 stars because the bathroom shower was terrible, the water pressure was not it, and the shower head was broken. Then we were woken up at 7:30 to a fire alarm. I know that’s not the hotels fault but my god. It was okay good for a night.
