There was a band playing...we knew this in advance and purposely got to the Centennial station prior to the start time so we could get a good spot and ride for as long as we wanted. The band was Row Jomah and will be playing at GMF this year. There was a GMF rep on board promoting the event. I'm not sure why - it seems like it's over packed every year anyway (I've been every year since inception). But I digress.... The band was awesome, the ride was so much fun, we got off when they were done and went back to James Joyce for another drink. Rode the streetcar back to downtown where our cars were and had such a great time! Need to ride the streetcar more often!!!

The Streetcar takes you from Ybor City to Tampa Downtown. It runs every 12 minutes and it was an easy way to get from Ybor to Tampa. We actually stayed about 20 minutes away but took an Uber to the train station daily once we found out how convenient it was to travel this way. I highly recommend staying outside of Tampa and using the Streetcar. My only gripe was that it was 98+ degrees daily and many of the operators of the cars did not have the AC running. I was shocked when we boarded trains where the air wasn't running.

Sign up was easy peasy, on the amazon fulfillment center web site. Just agree to not take photos, walk miles and climb many flights of stairs and you are IN! I was glad my health has improved a bit and I've been exercising daily. This tour involves 1.5+ hours of walking and climbing. Bring comfy closed shoes and wear safe/protective clothing. I found what I saw and experienced very hard to describe. The facility is five very tall stories high, contains 23 miles of conveyor belts, is loud like a factory, and straight out of a science fiction movie that hasn't yet been made! To say the place was clean and well-organized would be the understatement of the year! We wore ear protection, as did all the staff! But we could also ask questions and engage with the enthusiastic and friendly and knowledge Amazon tour staff. The only thing we couldn't do was find the package addressed to us! Safety was key and employees were focused on their jobs. Robots abounded and wandered and danced an incredible choreographed dance that has to be witnessed to be believed! It was unimaginable until I saw it. I understand and respect what something like this takes to create because I worked in computer science and technology innovation for 37 years! The number of inventions and associated patents has to be huge! Life is good with a US company that has truly transformed how products are sold and delivered. Strong kudos to the workers who make it happen so they can support their families and themselves.

Each day two time for the tour. The sign up is easy. Before the tour they give you rules for the tour. They don't allow any size bag in the tour. And you have to have close toe shoes. Hair touch the shoulder need to be secured. The tour is very interesting. You will see their automated or manual power process for categories the goods. It is amazing to see the shell robots at work. It is amazing to see the technology to scan hands moving at each shelf space and memorize the location. We witness the stocking, packaging and delivery route categories. It was amazing to see different robots at work.

For a small voluntary donation (casually put in a tip jar), you can ride and be apart of a Tampa history tour and not only learn some new things but meet some cool people. As it stands the bike tours meet the first Saturday of every month around 9:45am outside of the Kahwa Coffee location in downtown Tampa (at the base of the residential building The Element). The rides attract a good amount of people and it is always fun for me to ride in groups. The tour is celebrating their third anniversary in March 2016 (next month). Be sure to check out their schedule of offerings on their facebook page. If you love biking and history this is an activity for you!

She then proceeded to claim I owed money however I explained I had paid Booking 100% she proceeded to argue with me that the additional fees were from Booking and had I booked directly those fees ,over $100, would not be appearing. Continuing the discussion and informing her there are no additional fees and she proceeded to argue with me. She said it was the "resort" fee and I showed her my confirmation indicating the payment I made included those fees. I gave up and gave her my credit card. Arriving in the room, room 106, I found I was approximately 3' from the fence around the pool. it was full of children and incredibly loud. Friday night there was a movie at the pool and even though all my windows and door were closed I still heard the movie. The view out of the back was the pool filter. Because the front window was shutters I had to keep all the shutters closed to have any privacy. The rooms on the second floor had tables and chairs and a view of the water. The mattress was so soft it was difficult to sleep on. There were no plugs on the side of the bed for me to charge my phone and the "nightstand" was attractive but it was tiny about the size of a washcloth. People were out by the Firepit talking well after 10. The pictures on the website are lovely but buyer beware. judging from other comments it appears I got the worse room in the motel.

There is an external ice machine, free use of clean beach towels. Kuerig. Microwave. Stove. Fridge. Plenty of indoor seating and a pullout couch in our room. Pillows were soft. Towels and tolietries provided. 2 TVs. Limited glasses and silverware in kitchen. Bring paper towels and plates and your own food! Cons: Parking is 12 dollars for 12 hour next door. Wifi is subpar. Landscaping is decent but could use a refresh. No tiki bars or bars or restaurants nearby. (except waffle house- gross) We would recommend. It was above average! And family friendly. They are remodeling the "check-in" office. Check our pics!
