8.4/10 Very Good! (1,035 reviews)
From the front desk to the cleaning staff, everyone was helpful and nice. Cleaning staff was always around and kept our room supplied and clean. We had a minor mix up on the room based on accessibility for our 91 year old mom and the front desk made adjustment's and all worked out well. Thank you to the front desk!

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)
From the check in process where i received FRESH COTTON CANDY, with a warm smile and coupled with the kitschy decor, i knew it was the place for me!.
The room is exactly as advertised clean, thoughtful decor and accessible to all amenities!
Truely a gem!
While it may look tempting to stay at a brand name resort, it would be a disservice to not enjoy this wonderful hotel.
I am looking forward to coming back!

Mar 17, 2020One cool day we visited the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) at USF. Planetarium was great. Exhibits were fun but geared to middle school ages.

Aug 1, 2019If you're going for a campus tour make sure you use the entrance road indicated on email directions from the tour organizers. There are two entrance roads and if you use the one not shown you will find yourself going in circles looking for the visitor center. Following signs to the administration building will require you to turn left, but to find the visitor center (which is not listed or shown on the maps for campus signs) requires you to turn right.
2/5 - Disappointing
