We stayed here as we could leave the car and the hotel would shuttle us to catch cruise ship. After continued loud noises in 2nd floor hallway I called the front desk. They came up and talked to the noise makers? Called again and they said they would tell them to leave. Didn't happen. Then another call from the other occupant of the room called. Still nothing happened to anyone. After the last visit from management that night the people next door to me slammed their door 13 times in the next 45 minutes. Did not call management again as they were worthless in dealing with these people.

I complained the next morning and was asked what room was the noise coming from. I told him I thought there were two or three rooms screaming and hollering all night as this went on for hours in the night. I told him I thought there was people next to me or 2 doors down from me making loud noises. He said, yes, there was and they were drunk. I then said I thought the people in the room across the hall from my room was also screaming. He said yes, they too, were drunk. Then I stated there was screaming noise coming from down the hall from me and AGAIN, yes, there was a third room with drunk people. AND NO ONE WAS ASKED TO LEAVE THAT WERE MAKING THE LOUD SCREAMING NOISE THAT WENT ON FOR A FEW HOURS THAT NIGHT!

The breakfast that was wasn't pretty much. Much lacking. Would have been nice to have some eggs and a protein such as bacon or sausage.

OK, we were drove to cruise ship and feared for our safety the guy drove so fast.

Called Quality Inn when I returned before I disembarked. Waited a while, no shuttle. Called and was told it would be a few minutes. 15 minutes passed, still no shuttle. Called again and was assured again just a few minutes. Another 15 minutes went by and called again. We waited at least 45 minutes (a few minutes to the clerk at the Quality Inn is a long time for me). If I had just been told, he was already there and is shuttling people to hotel and it will be about 30 minutes or more before he returns to pick you up, that would have been informative. But to be lied to and have 45 minutes be treated like a few minutes is poor customer service. Also, once he picked the load of us up (as that was like I felt like he treated us), the driver turned right on a red light and he NEVER STOPPED before he turned on the red light. He drove like he was on a race track. We were tossed back and forth on the seats as he took corners way too fast and then would speed up then hit the brakes hard.

We stayed for a week in this hotel. The staff was lovely; friendly, poolite and helpful! Our children especially loved Neema and Linda.Our room was clean and comfortable. We were able to use the laundry facilities which was most helpful. The location was convenient and near all the major highways. We would definitely stay her again!

I was so impressed with this hotel. It's either very new or recently remodeled. The desk staff was very pleasant and helpful. They gave us a very nice gift bag for being diamond Choice Privileges members. Our suite was very spacious and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We hated to leave.

First, be aware that you'll have to wind around a little to get to it.

I had business to attend to very early the next day nearby this hotel. I sought out this location as I remembered the first time coming here, everything was so good! This stay was even better then the first time, and they treated us like we were special guests they knew so well, rather then just a customer! The breakfast was the typical Choice Hotel breakfast, and I ate the oatmeal with banana, as it is far less salty then the eggs and waffles they offer. Just as others have commented and I remarked the previous stay here, there is only one thing bad about this hotel, and that is its location and getting into it. Even with a GPS it is confusing, I can't imagine without one, and it is also very hard to see at night as well. Obce there though, the people are terrific and hotel itself very well maintained. If I ever have business in the area again, we will absolutely stay at this location!

Room tip: We stayed on side not gacing I-4 which was quiet.

We booked this package based on other reviews and I'm happy to say we where not disappointed. We checked in without any issues. The breakfast was nice and the attendant was very pleasant. We had a shuttle to the Tampa port which got us there in plenty of time. When we returned 7 days later I called the hotel for a shuttle pick up and he was there in 10 minutes. I'm so happy we used this service, it made cruising out of Tampa so simple. I would recommend this hotel and package if your cruising out of Tampa. I will happily use them again.

Hotel is not easy to find at night. Common areas were nice and clean. The staff was courteous and helpful. They gave good directions and made excellent restaurant suggestions. The suite was nicely decorated. It had a desk and a desk chair had but no sofa. Close to the I interstate and easy to get around the city. Very enjoyable stay.
