We stayed at this hotel a few times in Dec. boy has it gone down hill. First time we stayed there, the bed wasn't even made properly. Mattress cover was too small for the bed therefore it had slipped down to the bottom of the mattress, phone didn't work, walls were PAPER thin....REALLY!!!!. The person that was in the room beside us I heard EVERY bodily noise that one could possibly imagine. Definatly not a pleasant stay. Wrote them a very nice letter upon our return, and we were offered an upgrade with a reduced rate for our next stay......well there was a next stay, we were in some sort of "executive" suite", ( I would have liked to know what they charge for this cause the only thing that I can see that was different was that the bed was bigger and you got a robe( which I don't know anybody that would dream of putting this on, it was like cardboard) any way we don't smoke and at one point I was almost gagging due to the fact that cigarette smoke was being filtering in through a vent just outside of the bathroom. Well you can imagine that after a couple of hours of this our room smelled like it was being smoked in......was horrible. Once again I wrote a letter, and once again we were offered another upgrade if we wanted to give the hotel another try. We were flying out for a trip and they have a shuttle service so we took the opportunity to yes give it another try. It was better. Still stayed in an executive sweet, but no smoke this time ( yes the robe still felt like cardboard). They are trying and Susan the manager was very nice and apologetic. The rooms are just plain run down. Apparently they are going to be doing a million dollar upgrade, but until then I won't be staying here. Hard to believe that this hotel was at one time the best hotel in TB. No hotel should wait until they are this run down to do upgrades. Feel free to ask me any questions, but I would not recommend this hotel to anyone until the upgrades are done. The only positive thing I have to say is the wiifii worked great. One other thing I would like to point out, all three times we stayed here, NONE of the outside doors worked properly with our keys, we always had to go through the main lobby, quite an inconvenience if you are in a room that is quite far from the lobby!
