Ramada by Wyndham Tampa Westshore Airport South
Room was clean but tired, and well used. Hard to figure out how to get into the pool area. Pool and gym are only open 7-7. They will only clean your room if you give them 24 hrs in advance notice. Wish they would have offered to remove the garbage and exchange some towels.
