As an ex worker of one of the hotels from the Wyndham corporate, This hotel proves you the opposite of what professionalism and good customer service is.. My review from my stay on the second week of June has been erased. I am not going to repeat that uncomfortable moment we had when the manager called my cell phone to ask me for payment for 1 extra night when the night before we already had walked to the front desk and tried to pay at the counter for the next day. My husband was told that there was no need to pay or sign any document since we already had a credit card authorization form on file and a certain rate already accepted by me. The next day the manager's excuse was that there was a misscomunication and by that day my form was already expired. Long story short, between trying to call Wyndham corporate an repeating over and over by phone the story and asking them to send me their email so I can send all the documentation and proves and also getting an email from the manager saying that my review was going to affect his business, the corporate resolution was to give me 3,000 reward point and if I wanted something else I needed to call the manager of the property again. Thanks for being so professional..........Not.

I had an absolutely amazing experience and stay. From the moment I entered the lobby, my presence was meant to feel like royalty. Jamie was outstandingly respectful, helpful, and overall enjoyable. From there, my journey to my room was something otherworldly. When my eyes were blessed with the look of the room and how amazing I knew my experience ahead of me would be. Honestly the best sleep I’ve gotten in 28 years of living. Truly visited a realm of sleep I haven’t known since birth. It is truly impossible to say anything negative about this hotel other than how much business, time, and funding I will be spending here. If you want to experience living like the queen (god rest her soul) I recommend stepping up your experience and staying here.

Awesome stay. Hotel clean. Bed was to die for as were the pillows. Shampoo and conditioner and bath get dispenser in shower. Water hot. Front desk staff very nice. Free ice cream at night. Good breakfast. We will be back. 5 stars all the way. Don’t miss this place.

First, I’m not one to complain about these kinds of things typically, but the lack of care or concern by the staff drove me to write this review. I wish I would have had access to a review like mine before I decided to book this place, so I’m hoping my review helps others going forward. First, as can be implied by what I wrote above - This place could be great, if perhaps the staff learned to be a bit more compassionate. First, upon arrival, my family was hungry. After bringing our luggage up to the room, we quickly went right back down before unpacking, only to spend 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get seated. We asked 5, yes FIVE, different staff members to help us understand how we could get seated. None of the staff members answered our question. They each punted us over to someone else. We finally figured it out on our own (or rather, thanks to some other guests who saw us struggling and told us they had experienced the same issue earlier, so they were very kind and helped us). Unfortunately, we then waited 2 more hours to get our food delivered to the table. When it arrived, the wrong food was brought to us. It was such a disappointment, and I left with an incredible headache because I was starving. Next, the room. If you want a peaceful beach stay, this place is NOT for you. All I wanted was a peaceful break at the beach from my hectic life. Unfortunately, this place caters to weddings instead of its hotel guests. My room sounded like it was inside a dance club - and it was on the top floor! I called down to find out how long we could expect this noise to last and was laughed at, implying that at least I was on the top floor and not on a lower floor where it would be louder. This is NOT a place to come if you want a relaxing and enjoyable time. Stay away. I have extreme regret staying here! Hotel management - Guests should be warned about dance parties upon arrival and at the very least, be comped if they can’t get out of their reservation to go elsewhere. This is not fair to those of us here to spend our hard earned money and vacation days. Finally, since I always like to provide a review on the bed, here’s the info: Bed is not up to par for a Hilton. Very firm, but does have the standard Hilton sheets. So - Buyer be ware! Wish I had taken heed of the previous reviews and gone to Don Cesar instead. Note: Gave this a 2/5 instead of 1/5 simply because it really does have a great view.

The room is very spacious and clean. The bedding is very comfortable. Two big beds can accommodate four people. The son owns a bed and includes 5 breakfasts. The breakfast variety is okay, there are hot scrambled eggs and meatloaf, you can also make homemade waffles, original flavor and blueberry flavor, very delicious.

Room was full of health and safety concerns. Reserved a non-smoking room and the room reeked of smoke and other odors. Bathroom had tile falling off the walls. Black water stains running down the bathtub. Bathtub was rusted out. Feces still in the toilet. Ceiling flaking off across the entire room. Mattress was caved in where it appeared that someone sat for a very long time watching TV. There was no smoke alarm in the room. Chair was damaged as if a cat lived in the room. Did not stay, but was concerned for our safety to go back to the front desk to ask for a refund.

First the good news, front desk was cheery and helpful. This hotel was built in 2019, so it’s pretty new and modern. Bed was VERY comfortable. Good water pressure. Now the not-so-good news. Be VERY CAUTIOUS regarding their entrance from Dale Marby. The second entrance, the one closest to McDill AFB is a one lane entry, which some people use as as exit. If they are exiting, you can’t enter, and you have to come to a full stop on a busy roadway without a shoulder. I almost got rear-ended. Use the more northern entrance. This is extremely poorly engineered, I’m not sure how they got it permitted. The second engineering flaw is that they use cardboard between the rooms. Last night I heard the neighbors shouting back and forth with their TV on until 2 am. A previous customer made the same complaint. It’s interesting that their TV volume only goes to “21” which is barely loud enough for me to hear the TV with my hearing loss. Now I see why. The walls are so thin that anything louder than 21, and your neighbors could hear it as loud as you do. Your only salvation is to turn the fan for your AC on to high and hope the white noise drowns out the neighbors. Oh, maid service every third day, unless you request more often. Just not what I was hoping for, or expected given the good first impression from the lobby. My advice, get a room at the end of the hall, then you might only have one noisy neighbor.

I have wanted to stay in this particular hotel for several seasons-we go to an annual lectureship close by. It’s always been more expensive than most-Prbly because it’s directly across from Busch Gardens but we didn’t go to BG. The hotel was just ok and no variety in breakfast. Every level surface that was not used regularly was thick with dust both in our room and in the breakfast & lobby area. The bed made us roll together although comfortable enough-but Not for the price. The personnel were very helpful. The area was a bit “seedy” with ppl that didn’t appear to be guests hanging out outside near hotel and on its premises. I’m sure this area has gone downhill over time. General looks of hotel inside ok but it does appear to be an older building. It is Right on a Super busy highway with no wiggle room at all! At least I got my wish of staying here but certainly disappointed. We Prbly won’t stay here again
