Hotel South Tampa & Suites
Great, keeping the room warm on a cold day on check-in was nice. This place is better than the Tahitian.

OASIS BAY SUITES, Tampa, Busch Gardens, USF
Clean room. Staff saved my daughter's smart watch after we left and she had forgotten it. They kept it safe until we returned a week later to get it. Breakfast was not the quality we had been expecting from other reviews.
