When we got to our room there was a slight musty odor, but once we turned down the AC and turned up the fan it improved. There was some mold in shower, but would stay here again.

The hotel was very clean and quiet. The breakfast options were pretty typical, but they had someone on staff who was keeping everything stocked and fresh. The housekeeping was very good and friendly. The internet worked fine. It was easy to drive to downtown and Ybor City. I would stay at this hotel again if I am in the Tampa area.
