Country Inn & Suites

Clean modern room and friendly staff. Nice bathroom with big tub and nice water pressure. This is a 3 floor hotel with one elevator, pool, no smoking but has a smoking section, fitness center, business center, pay laundry room, ice and drink machine on each floor. Hotel is close to the Hard Rock casino and has a van that gives free ride to and from the casino.

At my company I travel quite a bit to the Tampa area over the past 10 years and I have stay at them all.
This place is convenient of 75, away from the traffic and road noise, clean inside and out and a great value for a business traveler.
I have stayed here the last three trips, they only get better, tried the red center and pool this time, no dissatisfaction on either.
Next stay will be here of course.

Nice place… If you like paying $ 100 deposit for «incidentals». Like what? Taking the POS TV? I had no idea until I got a notification from my bank. There is a sign on the faaaaarrrr left side of the counter. But the ones I was reading were the banned pizza places proudly displayed where people actually look… ON THE FREAKING COUNTER!!! Highest I have ever paid and I travel 35 weeks a year. Normally stay at Holiday Inn but they were all sold out. Nothing special here except the cockroaches!!! They are a beautiful sight to behold. Hell I almost caught a free ride into the bathroom this morning. And if that is not enough to convince you, the cleaning staff were gracious enough to let me keep it!!! At least for tonight!!! Isn’t that special???
Oh yessir!!! If you are looking for an escape to paradise… Look elsewhere.
Solution from front desk… Im sorry???
I am sorry too… Sorry I stayed here
Roach is still here, $ 100 lifted from my account, and an Im sorry from the clerk.
PRICELESS;)

I loved my stay at this Country Inn! We stayed one night, but I wish it was more.
PROS: Clean!; Complimentary coffee and cookies at all times; large room; friendly staff; free hot/​cold breakfast; fridge; swan made of towels and little (fake) flowers were a cute and welcoming detail
CONS: It’s on a street with nothing but a gas station and a Bob Evans. Not much there. However, Ybor City and main city areas were very nearby. Wifi had its moments.
Great deal for the price! Nice surprise!

Checked in after time at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City. Room was on the 3^rd floor facing the tractor trailer park. Room was in need of some small repairs that the house keeper should have noticed. Room was dusty and not the cleanest for the $ 175per night. Found a blood sugar test strip, used, on the floor of the bathroom. Rusty Bolt sticking out of the floor where the door stopper was. 2 king beds where on the firm side. The worst thing was the breakfast that was provided. The trash and dirty dishes were over flowing. The counters where covered with food and crumbs. The whole time we were there no one wiped the dirty tables or cleaned up the food self service area. I watched staff bring out food look at the counter then walk away. Yogurt or at least I think it was yogurt, pink stuff in a bowl not refrigerated just sitting on the counter. Pictures posted. If you stay here don’t eat here.

To start, just getting into the parking lot was a challenge. greeted at the entrance by friendly staff which promptly given a room. when I entered the room it was very warm and that’s when I discovered you have no control over the a/​c.

You have no control of th A/​C in the rooms and they keep it on a just barely comfortable setting. There is a thermostat so that you have the hope of being able to adjust it but it is just a prop.
The hotel is clean and well kept. the rooms are large and comfortable. The staff is polite but there is just something about wanting to be comfortable when I’m staying away from home that this place does not have.
The breakfast consists of primarily breads, which is great if you don’t like things like eggs, bacon and fruit in the morning.
With all this said there is also road construction blocking the hotel entrance wich made for a maze to get in. no detour signs to direct you and though this is not the fault of the hotel they should have mentioned it when I was making the reservation. I do not believe I will be staying here again.

Friendly staff — helpful — housekeeping came everyday. I had the executive room for 3 days because there was 6 of us. And I had to stay longer and was given a discount. Breakfast was ok — a variety of offerings. The breakfast area is large enough, so I didn’t feel crowded. I’d definitely stay again.

I understand you can’t really expect much from a Country Inn and Suites, but this is one of the worst. Our first room had a broken AC. The room was 80 according to the thermostat. Rather than quickly accommodating us with a new room, they sent up a repair man of sorts to take a look. We had to send someone down to the front desk because the phone did not work. After the repair man turned the thermostat on, then off, then back on, he decided that we were correct. «That AC should have turned on by now», was the genius comment from him. He then told us to wait in the (80 degree) room and the front desk would call us with our new room. After waiting about 15 min one of us headed down to the front desk (for the second time) to help assist them with the room change. We grabbed our bottled water from the fridge (which almost fell out of the «built in» when we opened the door) and headed down the hall about 5 rooms. This next room also was set to 80 degrees. After about 30 – 45 min the temperature finally dropped to about 77. When we called down to the front desk to ask for pillows and a blanket for the fold out couch (which was dusty and extremely uncomfortable) we were asked how the room felt. We mentioned that it finally dropped from 80 to 76 and we were told, «Oh that’s great!» Obviously that is not great. Now at 11pm the room is about 71 (several hours after check in) and we are attempting to sleep with apparently paper thin walls. Crying children. Screaming parents. And it sounds like its bath time for the kids (we can hear the water running and all conversation from the bathroom next door). This is by far one of the WORST hotels I have stayed in. I’m thinking the $ 60 a night Redroof Inn would have been a much better deal than this. could have saved $ 30! Will not stay here again. A Hyatt Place (though a few miles away from the RV store where we were picking up our RV from) is a way better option for a quick overnight stay. It is a bit pricier (only like $ 20 more… They probably don’t get the big 10% Discount from the RV place next door) but they have way better customer service and far better amenities.

NOT SERVICE DOG FRIENDLY!
IAW federal law once you ID your animal as a service dog you are not required to answer any questions nor prove anything about your animal or your disability…
You are to be treated as if the dog were not there… Service Dogs are not pets.
The receptionist demanded my license… when informed she did not have the right to ask she said they always verify… she had me in room 302 but changed the room to a pet room… violation of the ADA Americans with Disabilities Act.
She then told me that rather than bringing the dog in through the lobby I should use the hallway entrance.
Not only am I reporting this here, I will report it to the corporate HQ, the FL Attorney Generals office, and the better business bureau.

After seeking lodging options in the Tampa area, we decided on Country Inn and Suites for their pay two nights receive third night free offer. Sounded like a great deal considering we were looking for a three day accommodation.
We checked in late Thursday evening and was pleasantly welcomed by the courteous help staff! If there is one aspect of this visit that receives high marks – its the customer service. Thank you for your hospitality!
We had selected an executive room and was pleased with the size and setup of the room. Plenty of towels and extra bedding were readily available. The beds however were not comfortable. The mattress was hard and the pillows pretty much unable to fluff…
The room itself is equipped with a small fridge, microwave and cable television.
After a long trip we looked into room service for late dinner options– unfortunately, they had already closed for the night.
A complimentary breakfast is available for guests and we decided to check it out. Food was below average by any standard. The batter for waffle was watery and the bacon tasted unfamiliar.
One of my biggest complaints though was the proximity of the hotel to the truck rest stop. If you are a light sleeper like I am, you will hear the trucks all night long… all night long! Not good.

My wife and I stayed here when we were going to Busch Gardens. Very good value for the price. The exterior, lobby, and halls were all in perfect order. Our rooms were amazing. Hot breakfast was a nice addition. Parking was ample and secure. I would stay again without a doubt.
