I couldn't tell if I was at a hotel or a frat party. Despite decent accommodations and convenience to business areas in Tampa, it was not worth the loss of sleep I incurred from my different neighbors each night. One Friday night the hotel had some sort of party in their little ballroom area downstairs until 12 a.m. and the music and deep bass could be heard clearly in our room. My different neighbors each night seemed to wake me up around 1 a.m. talking loudly, coming in and out of their rooms and people from other rooms banging on the door to come in. Despite securities efforts after I'd finally call and complain they couldn't seem to get it under control. Some would just move down to the pool and party down there - which could also be heard clearly in our room. Don't stay in this hotel if you plan on getting to sleep and staying asleep before 2 a.m. They're also going through renovations right now (04/20/08) - and they'll be doing construction on-site during the week from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. It's also valet parking only.
