We had a great stay at the Residence Inn at Oldsmar. The one bedroom suite was not exactly large, but it was a decent size. The beds and pull-out sofa were comfortable. The kitchen was a nice feature with a full size refrigerator, microwave and stovetop.
We ate breakfast in the clubroom everyday and found the food to be plentiful, filling and good (especially the waffles).
There is no business center, but instead there is one computer in the clubhouse area and the printer is behind the front desk, so the staff must retrieve your printouts. There is good internet access in the rooms (wired).
Coin-operated washing machines and dryers are available. Complimentary detergent (boxes of Tide) can be obtained from the front desk.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
On the down-side,
...the bathroom is inside of the bedroom
...most of the pillows were hard (we had only two soft pillows)
...the staff routinely did not leave enough towels and washcloths
...no concierge (so have your plan together before you get there)
There are plenty of chain restaurants nearby - Applebee's (in the same parking lot), Friday's, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday, etc.
There are a Super Wal-Mart and a Super Target very close by as well.
This was a good home base for us as we visited Busch Gardens, Ybor City, Clearwater Beach, Caladesi Island, International Mall, etc. None of these were close, but we were pretty much equi-distant from them all (30-40 minutes).
Nice, clean hotel. I would recommend this location for families and business travelers.
