Good but expensive

I thought the hotel was nice and in a good spot for what I wanted to do while in Tampa. It was pretty expensive and add $12 a day to park and at some point I felt like I could find a better deal elsewhere and probably will the next trip.

First room had the AC "stuck" on and was 58' no matter the setting, after 30 minutes freezing and waiting on maintenance had to argue to get another room. Second room TV didn't work, just called it a night.
