"The trolley stop to Ybor City was just outside the hotel, so it was just 10 minutes from entertainment. Nice waterfront sidewalk nearby, and just across the street from Amalie Arena. Our newly-remodeled room was beautiful, and the hardwood flooring was a nice change from hotel carpeting. All the employees we encountered were helpful, cheerful, and went out of their way to help us. The pool area was quite hip and cosmopolitan, though it was closed when there was lightning in the area. The breakfast buffet was delicious and plentiful, and both indoor and outdoor seating was available. There was also an on-site Starbucks.2018-10-06"

"Worth every penny. The hotel was immaculate, and all the employees were nice. Stay here.2016-08-12"
"Not worth the price. Room was a modernized dorm room, and was extremely small. No information about amenities or TV channel guide available. Front desk clerk was clueless about what TV channels were offered. Valet parking attendants left car keys sitting unattended on a bench. Employee vehicles blocked the entrance, so I had to park on the street and walk to the hotel to have my car valet parked. When I called later to complain, I couldn't even get an answer from the front desk or manager. I'll never stay again.2015-02-19"
"Not worth the price. The hotel room was falling apart and didn't look clean. I was put in a handicap room, which wasn't requested. Don't have high expectations.2023-01-02"
"The hotel was in a busy area, so the noise level on weekends was an issue late at night. The exterior and interior looked great. Clean room with a comfortable bed. Breakfast prices at the on-site restaurant were outrageous, but there was an on-site Starbucks with energetic employees. No airport shuttle, so I used Super Shuttle. If you like to spend money, this is the place to stay.2019-01-16"

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
