Ok but not ok…..
The hotel was a typical one to two night stay hotel. The breakfast was great. The only two real complaints I had was 1. You had to pay to park. Which I was not aware of when I booked. For an average hotel charging $200 a night I had to pay $26 to park(2 nights). Seemed an overreach to me. Making the total price for the stay not really worth it. I could have stayed right down the road for the same price and not paid to park and got the same amenities. 2. They had a wonderful breakfast and they even had a little cafe you could order food through out the day. But they didn’t offer flavored creamer for the coffee. They just had little powdered cream packets. The excuse I got when asked about it was “people steal it so we stopped offering it”. To me that was lame for the price I was paying to stay there.
I know that sounds petty but for me it’s important. And for those two reasons I won’t stay there again. The hotel itself was clean enough and the staff for the most part were friendly. The room we had had a strange layout. Again I think we will skip it next time.

I was surprised when i got to the hotel as the pictures advertised do not match the property at all.
The rooms are very spacious albeit the bathroom was pretty cramped. For the size of the room, I would think that the bathroom door would not be almost on top of the toilet.
The sink area is just outside of the bathroom in what would be the bedroom area.
Everything else was fine.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, I have no complaints there.
One thing that i was unaware of was the paid parking. I might have overlooked it in the description. Be prepared to pay and you have to use a phone or device that will allow you to make online transactions.
I did appreciate the convenience of a shuttle to busch gardens and the discount you get on tickets as a guest.
Over all, the stay was nice, and enjoyable.

Great experience
We came into Tampa to take our son at USF to a concert, needed a place to stay for a night, and got so much more than we expected. The price was wonderful, the accommodations were spacious and able to fit our entire large family in one room. Breakfast was excellent, and the staff looking after the breakfast area did such a wonderful job stocking and cleaning non-stop. The checkout time was amazing. We were never rushed, everything was handled quickly and kindly. Will stay here every time we come to visit our son.

Great place!
We went to see family unaware of Milton coming. The hotel was very accommodating and understanding of the situation. We left early with no problems. Breakfast was awesome! Best grits I’ve had in awhile. It’s down the street from Busch Gardens which is nice

Stolen belongings
I left the room at 11:30 pm and came back at 10am. All the light where on when I came back and my personal belongings were gone. I told the front desk and they had no answers. It’s unacceptable to me. I would never stay at a Hyatt again.

A port in a storm. Literally.
We evacuated to this hotel during Hurricane Milton. The staff were amazing and accommodating. It was a tense night with power outages and fire alarms but the staff remained composed and helpful.
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Thank you

We stayed here because of the proximity to Moffitt Hospital, they were doing major repairs on the first floor, front desk personnel were very helpful and the rooms we nice, we just had one problem with a woman screaming at her child at 530 in the morning in the hallway and the front desk didn’t answer the phone. Just getting woken up like that stinks. But not their fault.

Wish we could have stayed longer.
At check in the member of staff was friendly and great to talk too. If it was not for hurricane milton it would have been a perfect base.
