Pool water was like 45 degrees. Found two cockroaches. One by the bed and the other in my ice bucket. My white socks were black after walking on the floor in my room. Hot water is questionable at best. It’s close to bush gardens but it’s worth the drive to stay someplace else.

I liked that the living area is closed off from the sleeping area and has a sofa bed for additional sleeping space. Staff was courteous and friendly, we had a comfortable stay. We had to change rooms as the room we were initially assigned did not have any heat and it was really cold, however the staff promptly addressed our concern and facilitated our request for a room change. Will definitely stay here again when in the area, highly recommended.

Only issue I have with this place is housekeeping. When we checked in there was 2 “housekeeping” staff in pajama pants and sweat shirts. Seems unprofessional to me. Room are not cleaned during your stay, even if you put the card on the door that says “ clean my room”. That’s a first for me.

The double suite was very spacious. The beds and pillows very comfortable. Couch bed was not comfortable and barely had padding on the couch bed. I had a reservation for 5, however towels in the suite was for a set of 2. I needed to ask for more towels.

Thermostat did not work, so no heat when it was 36 degrees outside. The sink didn’t have a faucet or spigot just three empty holes. I would never stay there again.

This is quite an upscale but older hotel. Our room was great and recently remodeled. The bed was very comfortable. The suite had 2 rooms but difficulty getting the heat transferred uniformly to the bedroom and bathroom. We had reserved a handicap room, but we arrived and were told none available. So with my wife using as walker, we navigated to the 2nd floor of the distant building. Entry was only allowed through the front entrance so we had a long way to luggage our luggage. Breakfast could have been good but eggs, sausage and bacon were.brought cold to service area and dumped into heated servers as we arrived at 6:55am. So we loaded our plates and heated them in our room. A good hotel could be great with a little more effort and consideration.

I liked how each suite had a sitting room inbetween the "oasis" central area and the bedrooms - I bet it cut down on a lot of extra noise. The central oasis was a lot of fun and kept the kids contained and happy. The staff went out of their way to help us with our requests. The only negative thing I can think of was the sausage at the continental breakfast was served ice cold. But there were other things to eat.

We were in Tampa during a cold, rainy few days and having a comfortable suite with two TVs and a sofa, kitchen, table, etc made the stay so much nicer and bearable. Everything at Oasis Bay Suites in remodeled and done very nicely. It feels new and was kept very clean. The breakfasts were different each day. On the first, it was very minimal with no sausage or bacon. On the second day, there were eggs, sausage, and bacon, and a better variety of other choices, including yogurt. I have no idea why this was so variable. They didn't advertise a lift, but there are three around the facility. We were very pleased with our stay and would recommend it.

We were under the impression this was a new hotel but maybe it’s just under new management. The property needs a lot of work, the drop ceiling in the outdoor bathroom was completely missing and the bathroom itself looked scary, the gym was being used as storage but still open to use, there was a bunchbof random things in it like a pink kids bike and materials for construction. The check in process took over 20 minutes because “the system wasn’t updating” so they couldn’t find a room for us, the girl had to go check the rooms herself to see which one had 2 beds to accommodate us. The room described 2 queen beds but they were actually 2 full size beds which makes a big difference when traveling as a family of 4. The toilet seat in the room was very scraped like it had been dragged through concrete before being installed. The breakfast was completely cold because they didn’t turn on the heated serving dishes so the bacon and sausage was being served uncooked. I was fooled by how nice the property looked on Instagram, I guess the best thing they have is their social media manager.

I had booked online for a specific rate and when I get to the hotel, I was getting charged over $200 more than what was reserved. I even spoke with the supervisor there and showed them my confirmation and they still mentioned that they could not honor the price that the rate may have gone up since I booked it I spent over an hour on the phone with Expedia trying to get this resolved with the resort And the supervisor refused to honor the price, even though the Expedia representative was advising them of the honor policy. The supervisor then decided to approve the original rate that was booked, but by then I was already an hour into my 4 hour drive back home. I will never book here again.
