Food for thought.
Everyone is made to feel special, particularly when visiting the restaurant. Top class meals are prepared to perfection and served immaculately by trained staff who have a confident knowledge of the hotel's extensive wine list. The Walking Trail, across the street, provides an enjoyable antidote to excesses enjoyed in the restaurant!
positive:
A splendid hotel.
In a wonderful location; the hotel and rooms are attractively decorated and inviting. Beds, it has to be said, are ultra comfortable with super quality bed linen. Rooms are also well furnished and contain everything that the guest could possibly need. Anything else, the brilliant reception staff will sort out willingly and efficiently.
positive:
It's the business.
The hotel attracts families on a leisure break and business people needing access to Tampa's commercial district. In the case of the latter, the hotel is spot on! The facilities for meetings, conferences, social events and weddings; are also 'the business'.

Oops! Forgot the soundproofing!
They've spent a fortune on this hotel and it shows in beautifully appointed public areas and rooms. Despite this, they've overlooked the fundamental problem of noise. Dividing walls seem to be wafer thin and because of its family friendly profile, noise from adjoining rooms can be a real factor. It isn't just the kids, though. The proximity to the busy road is a constant reminder of the need for sound insulation.
negative:
Not remotely convenient.
It is a bit remote for easy access to nightlife and restaurants in Tampa itself. Only a bit, though!
negative:
Heated introductions.
It seems that the hotel's air conditioning doesn't cover all areas. Consequently, those corridors leading to the room itself can be hot, humid and not encouraging of any great expectations of the room, itself.
