What Guests Are Saying

“From start to finish we really didn’t have any problems. My arrival was a problem in as much I ran into problems getting there on time. But the front desk personnel worked with me and everything went smoothly. Upon arrival I checked into the hotel and Lia O checked us in and she was excellent. Her personality and knowledge was contagious. She always had a smile and made you feel like you are the most important person at the hotel. The other person I want to comment on is Lily. Lily like Lia was very friendly and helpful. I needed a few items and she got them for me with smile and wonderful attitude. The whole team at Country Inn and Suites were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and safe. They had an excellent breakfast with plenty of food. Overall this is an excellent hotel to stay at. Ron Person” — Ron P., 5 stars

”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The complimentary breakfast was great, and the cookies available at the front desk were such a sweet treat for the kids and a thoughtful touch. The front desk lady was absolutely amazing—so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We accidentally booked an extra night thinking we would have the same room, and she went above and beyond to make adjustments so we could stay in the same room without any extra charges. The entire hotel has a warm, home-like feeling, and the staff made us feel truly welcomed. We really appreciate the great service and would definitely recommend this hotel to others!” — Hristina C., 5 stars

“This was my first time in Tampa and the staff was very accommodating! They gave me recommendations on where to eat and activities nearby. It has free breakfast and coffee/tea in the rooms and in the lobby. My room was clean and comfortable. I traveled alone and felt safe there. The jacuzzi and pool were lovely after a long day of being in the sun! Wawas , racetrack, lots of quick food options were all on the same strip so it was the perfect location for my stay. I recommend this hotel and will be staying here again next time I’m in town!” — Bella N., 5 stars
