Great breakfast and wonderful breakfast staff. Front desk would not accommodate our request for a room on a higher floor. Our room was next to the elevator and guest laundry…I think our use of Expedia pricing gave us the worst possible room location. No nearby restaurant other than 5 Guys burger shop. Would look for alternative accommodation on next trip to this area of Tampa.
