We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days. I am so happy we chose this hotel. The room was spacious, beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. The hotel had a shuttle that would take their guest to Bush Gardens and Adventure Island. The breakfast was very good and with options. I will definitely stay at this hotel when we travel to Tampa again. Thank you to all the staff.
