Tropical Palms Hotel

Tropical Palms Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"All in all, it was a very comfortable stay. Though the facility was under construction, I can't truly give this a higher rating until I stay here and they're running 100%. The pool was closed off and certain elevators would be turned off depending on the time of day and the cleaning and construction that was being done. Though the room itself was comfortable. It was clean, spacious and I enjoyed its modern layout. I loved my concert experience in Tampa, therefore willing this hotel's prices stay convenient and reasonable, I'd love to stay here again. I also loved how it was close to many dining in options."
