Ramada by Wyndham Tampa Westshore Airport South
Internet was fine. Room was spare, but very clean. Bed was quite comfortable. My room was located overlooking a covered interior courtyard which seemed to contain and increase noise levels, but it quieted down late evening. Staff was very friendly and quick checking in and out.
