The hotel was a five minute drive to the Hard Rock Casino - that was a big determination on going to this hotel. The employees are pleasant and breakfast was good.
Windows thin, rm on 4th flr front of hotel above entr looking towards main rd. After 11 pm people sitting on benches of entry drinking & smoking until after 1 am that we could hear along with thin walls - heard neighbors TV all night! Terrible night sleep

The young lady at the front desk ( perhaps?) was exception and really made me feel welcomed. Gym was well equipped. Location very convenient to casino and not to far from Raymond James. Breakfast had many offerings.
