Very clean. Smelled great the lobby and the room! The staff was friendly. The breakfast was very delicious. The ONLY thing I had to say is our shower didn’t drain properly but there was a notice saying their tubs will be changed and fixed by ending of December. Next trip to Tampa I will stay here again for sure !
