I wish there was a microwave in my room. I also requested a downstairs room, but I knew I couldn’t be promised one and I’m upstairs, but I am 72 with horribly arthritic legs and it was a real chore to get my suitcase up here and I brought some frozen dinners so I could have stayed in my room watch TV relaxed and eat dinner if I had a microwave.
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.
This was the absolute worse hotel ever to the point where I couldn’t stay there. We checked in for a Cheer Competition in Tampa and when we went to the room there was a strong odor in the room. There was also bugs in the tissue that to the point where we cancelled our room. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.
Room was dusty and nets or something coming out the sink, crack in bathtub wall, stain on toilet and floor was dirty. Room was hot most of time not sure what was going on with the A/C. Breakfast was great except I ask worker if there was anymore pancake mix and he stated No then I sit there to see if he would put some out for someone else and He did and I told front desk who just stated she will talk to him. He lied and that was rude will I be back probably not. There was one female cleaner that was extremely nice but can’t remember her name
I love the convenience of the location. I was there for a conference. The young man at the front desk was so helpful and accommodating. I had a guess with me that would have had to wait 6 hours before checking in and he allowed us to check in early because the room was available. They were able to give me directions. They were just super helpful and awesome. Nice facility and I took a picture and the big beautiful chair.
