Isaiah checked us into the property for both stays and we really appreciated his friendly professionalism! Also want to give a shoutout to housekeeping- both our suites were super clean and so pleasant. Thank you.

### 4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Nice place to stay. Is a bit of a drive to Tampa but is less expensive than right in Tampa so is a fair trade!

### 5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Liked it a lot.

### 3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

There isn't much to do or see in Ruskin. There is a WinnDixie for groceries, but nothing too exciting. Definitely venture out to Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearview for more culture and exciting attractions.
