Negative Reviews
negative:
Lacks proper maintenance
One thing that comes across loud and clear in reviews is that this hotel is suffering from a lack of proper maintenance. Guests have found the hotel clean but this doesn’t always make up for issues such as tatty furniture, torn linens, and on-going plumbing problems.
negative:
Occasional service issues
While guests tend to find the staff here is friendly and helpful, there are a fairly significant number of exceptions to this view, particularly concerning the management team and corporate policies. Rooms seem to be frequently double booked and guests have sometimes had to find another hotel.
negative:
Seems overpriced to some
Given the apparent lack of maintenance at this hotel, guests have sometimes mentioned that they found the rates excessive, and are also not too keen on the parking charge. It may pay to check out other hotels in Tampa downtown before making a decision on value.
