The advertised hot tub is not hot but it was mildly warm. When we entered out room, there was a great big toe nail clipping right in the middle of the floor. It was so obvious it looked like it was staged. From there well... The free breakfast was great, but at almost $300 per night, there has to be better accommodations in the the area.

The hotel was ok but we were very upset that the falsely advertised their hot tub hours. We were there for a cheer competition and my daughters specifically wanted to sit in the hot tub after comp at night. I check that the hot tub was open until 11. When we got there they said the hours were dusk till dawn.

We always try and stay at IHG hotels when we go away for business or even pleasure because we know we’re going to have a certain expectation of comfort and cleanliness. Well we got the cleanliness but the comfort was the worst we’ve ever had. The lady’s up front were wonderful but after a long day of work we were expecting a great nights sleep and that didn’t happen. The bed was hard as a rock and the pillows were flat and hard as boulders!! We couldn’t keep the air going no matter how low I set it. It was hot and wholly stuffy like we were in a box!! Very disappointed with this location!!!!

Great breakfast! Rachel is a wonderful hostess, and the staff keep everything clean even at the busiest of times. Walls are a little thin, so you're likely to hear any neighbors who talk in a loud voice or young children. Not in an overly busy location, so less chaotic. Well placed in the Tampa area - not to far from the city and not too far from the busier beaches like Madeira and St. Pete's. I was visiting family nearby, so it was super-convenient.

The hotel was clean, in great condition, and the staff was excellent. But there is such a thing as TOO eco friendly. The air conditioning shouldn't shut off when you leave, because then you come back too a hot room. Also, there's something weird with the water pressure. In a span of 10 minutes to shower pressure varied wildly, the hot water cut out completely, and then the cold water cut out almost altogether. Manageable, but annoying.

Showed up to the hotel and it is in jankytown, West VA, not Florida, I'm pretty sure. Couldn't even find a palm tree. We were there for a soccer tournament and the whole team stayed on a group rate, and even though I called 3 weeks prior and also asked when I arrived at the property, they wouldn't honor the group rate for me, gave me really lame excuses every time. They didn't even try. Customer service was nonexistent. I paid an exorbitant amount to stay in the ghetto while the rest of the team paid the group rate which was still a little too much. Went to my room and first thing I see is a booger on my towel. Not joking. The actual hotel room wasn't terrible which is why I'm able to laugh about my towel booger.

I drove 3 hrs from Florida’s east coast to apollo Beach for an overnight trip. This after I had received two email confirmations previously about my reservation. At 4pm (just after I arrived in town), the hotel called me to tell me “sorry, we are oversold. We have no room for you”. THIS ON MEMORIAL WEEKEND. stated they had no sister property they could refer me to. They said ‘sorry’ again, and wished me luck finding another hotel. Why ‘oversell’ the property? Why choose to cancel a customer who had prepaid a reservation a week earlier?

Breakfast was a little boring as there wasn’t a lot of variety, but it was decent. The pancake machine was down the 4 days we were there…boo. (You can see I mention that first, because I’m a foody 😁). Otherwise…quiet, safe, comfortable, and convenient to the reasons we were visiting the area. The pool could get busy in the evening, but when we utilized it during the day…all to ourselves with noodles provided. Would stay again and recommend to others.
