Hotel was in a great central location and it was easy to get to major attractions either by walking, cab, or free hotel shuttle service. more on Expedia

Overall, I think it is a good place to stay. more on Agoda.com

We had a seven week old baby with us and wouldn't have stayed if it hadn't been to our satisfaction. more on Yahoo! Travel

Didn't expect it to be that good for such a low price and not overall great ratings from others. more on Hotels.com

OK, I read the other reviews. I didn't check to see if the pool was open. I didn't use the restaurant. But, here is why it worked for me. I was here for a convention that had picked the Marriott downtown, which was waaay too expensive. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

No kidding! This hotel has been converted to a dormitory for the University of Tampa! Only the top floor is still used as a hotel! I went down to the lobby and it appeared that someone had a shampoo ... more on TripAdvisor

The free shuttle service was great!! The restaurant was not so good the sandwiches were pre made and overpriced. The hotel charged me as well as agoda, still straightening this out. Two phone calls so far, Howard Johnson has yet to ... more on Agoda.com

Wow! What a difference a month makes. My February 2009 visit to this same hotel was very pleasant indeed. All plumbing problems I'd experienced had been resolved, and the recently redecorated lobby and rooms still looked good. Easy ... more on Agoda.com
