We booked Arvilla Resort as a true last-minute New Year's getaway when everything else was…read morecompletely booked. We honestly took a gamble, and it paid off. Don't judge a book by its cover. The rooms have been completely renovated and are spotless. Everything felt fresh and well cared for. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the pillows were so amazing that we actually tracked them down online and ordered some for home. The chairs outside each room are a thoughtful touch, perfect for relaxing in the evenings. While the pool was a bit too cold for us to get in, it was very clean and we saw staff maintaining it daily. One of the best perks: step right outside and you're on the beach. It's also within easy walking distance to many great restaurants, which made the stay even more convenient. We loved the keyless entry with a 4-digit code, no worrying about losing keys or cards. The mini-kitchen was well appointed, and the updated coffee pot was a nice bonus. Pots, pans, utensils, plates, coffee cups, bowls etc. Special shout-out to Amy, she was incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. That personal touch really made a difference. We will absolutely be returning and would recommend Arvilla Resort to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, beachfront stay in Treasure Island.

Overall really good stay!!…read more Date of visit: 9-12-2019 to 9-16-19 Two adults and a 4 year old boy POSITIVE The room was a bit small and the bathroom was very small. Although many of the features in our room (110) were very dated, i.e. bathroom faucet, electric stove, refrigerator, everything was clean and the fridge kept everything very cold. A/C was very cold. The thin/blonde woman (sorry, I didn't catch her name) was amazing and helped us in several ways. She loaned us REAL beach towels, found some dish soap for us to use, and offered both umbrellas and chairs for the beach. There was a boogie board and several sand toys in a basket in the pool area that we were able to borrow. This was GREAT because we didn't have to buy them and then not have a way to bring them home! Pool was warm and very clean. *One of the best features of the property.* The property was very quiet (of course, it was September) and only a 2 minute walk to the beach. NEGATIVE First person (older Asian woman) we asked about umbrellas told us we had to rent them on the beach and that she didn't have any to loan us. She was also very stingy with giving us towels; both bath towels and beach towels. There are several signs on the property that have a typo on them. They are the 'amenities' signs. Amenities is spelled 'Ammenities'. As a Copy Editor, this bugged me. The beds were very hard. Very hard. The shower did not have hot water for over 10 minutes. It did get hot eventually, but it took a LONG time. Although we didn't have trouble finding a parking spot for our rental car, I can't imagine where everyone would park on a busy summer day. There were only 10 spaces; at best. Honestly, if I were the owner, I'd tear it down and build a new facility. Not to make it bigger, just to update and bring it into the 21st century! But then they'd have to raise the price, I guess. The price was very reasonable. You do get what you pay for.

We arrived early afternoon after a red eye completely exhausted. Ramandeep was so warm and empathetic- she assured us our early check in was ready, got us quickly set up, told me what to watch for during the conference, and sent us up to our room with an open door offer to just dial zero if we needed anything. So appreciated after the long day. The restaurant options were great - easy onsite access with a wide range of choices. We found ourselves at Anchor and Brine a few times because of the waterfront view. We went to the pool to relax at the end of the day whenever we could. Dylan made us feel like family. Offering to take or bring or adjust anything we needed with the sincere energy of positive care and respect. We watched him work and maintain the area while offering service or assistance to everyone who came in. Rock star. Both of these people stood out to us - although everybody was top notch - and we hope that management knows they have some stellar staff members. Give them a promotion or a bonus, or both!

We bought the Best of Tampa package that included craft beers, parking and local business coupons. It was perfect. Onsite dining, the festive lobby, and lively bars are a plenty here. The only knock was the congested and, as a result, a very slow valet experience. They were working hard, but space was hard to come by and some guests struggle with sense of urgency.

It was nice & spacious for my wife & I. I spent a week & half here & visited nearby places, such as the AMC theater & The Brandon Exchange Mall. You're nearby to food eateries & entertainment. This hotel is just far enough from the loud noises where you won't have any problems from the main city. If you're tech savvy you can connect your electronics & it becomes a home on vacation. My room came with kitchenette for minor dinners if you wanted to stay in & rest. My only problem was with the pool it seemed cleaned. But it wasn't [entirely] clean. The court yeard looked nice & the water feature presented a nice spot for photos. The cleaning staff came around every morning & gave my room clean towels & took our trash as needed. Very kind & helpful. They'll offer a full clean of the room every 6 days if you would like. I have some photos to give a realistic non a.i. perspective. It was my wife's birthday weekend & vacation. She had a nice time & that's a win in my book. I think I'll come back to this place.

I will not be returning and will be informing the Base as well as all my Troops to avoid this hotel. Not sure what happened but clearly the Management has failed. When there is a bomb threat the locks the base down all day one would think they would understand, but clearly not. I have been going here for 5 years. I work at Special Ops Command but I live a few hours away. I'm a retired Special Forces Combat Vet. Today, we had a bomb situation at the MacDill Gate. They shut down the base for it. So, I asked to postpone my reservation. They would not and they wanted to charge me more. I'm appalled that they would treat Military this way and as a formerly loyal customer so I am sore disappointed. I would recommend Military folks stay away from them. They have no respect for Service Members or long term customers. Why would I give them any more business when they clearly showed they could not care less about me, my service or a BOMB at the BASE. That's ok, Lots of other hotels there who do treat you well. This is the only place I've encountered, that treats Military this way. In light of the war in Iran, you'd think they'd be better about asking to postpone a day but they failed.

First, you are directed to a room with paint peeling off the ceiling that reeked so badly of mildew that you worry the place might be a health hazard. So you try to call the front desk, only to realize the phone doesn't work. Cell phone it is. You're taken to an alternative room, which at least doesn't smell like mildew. But like the rest of the place, it is filthy and so badly in need of repair that you worry the place might close down any minute. Nevermind though, you need a hot shower and rest. You notice the half used toilet paper roll just sitting on the counter (what bathroom doesn't have a toilet paper holder?). The brown ring of gunk around the shower mat. You steady yourself. Just a hot shower and a good night's sleep, and you'll deal with it in the morning. But oh no! No hot water for you. The best this mildewy shower can do for you is a lukewarm trickle. You shiver as you take your lukewarm shower trying to ignore the brown water that's sloshing out from under the shower mat. You scrub yourself as "clean" as you can get in a place like this and long for sleep. Theres no "do not disturb" sign to hang on the door. The toilet doesn't flush properly and the water runs forever, so you bust out your handyman skills to turn it off. Maybe they should be paying you instead of the other way around? But what do you know, the bedside lamps only work with the toggle switch NEXT TO THE FRONT DOOR. As you paw your way through the darkness to try and get to your bed, a loud argument ensues in the hallway and a dog starts yapping incessantly. You blearily reach for your earplugs and pray for rest. If this sounds like a good time to you, by all means stay at this hotel.

It was a fairly late check-in, around 10 pm, so the parking lot was quite full. It took one of those drive-around-the-building-twice trips before I found a suitable spot to park my wonder wheels.. At the front desk I was CHEERFULLY greeted by the tag team of Chris and Kayla! Kayla ended up handling my check-in. After a little 'speed-bump' that she handled like Mario Andretti, I was settling into a wonderfully sweet suite with a big bubbling tub! Thank YOU! My room was very clean, comfortable and spacious! And that big bubbling tub was begging me to bathe! I accepted the offer and soon I was soaking away the blues of the day.... The bed? Well, let me say I slept like a baby! (NO! No drool or downstair disasters! LOL). In the morning I awoke with a fresh rejuvenated smile on my face. I was recharged and raring to go! Of course, I took advantage of the free breakfast offerings in the lobby. It was clean, well stocked and not crowded. I got my fill and I was fine. For me, the INN was OUTstanding! I would definitely bubble away my troubles in this suite retreat again!

It is always cheaper to stay over somewhere than to potentially get a DUI. Anyway, easy to check in, easy to check out, easy to park. Comfortable bed, clean room, cable and AC works. And oh, did I mention Affordable?! As another person mentioned, there is an onsite manager, and the exterior is a little old looking and could use some more TLC but the rooms have been remodeled and have nice tile flooring. This place does have a pool but we didn't use it and it does have a cute little pizza place that also serves beer and wine that is attached out front. I would definitely give them a try on future visits but we had reservations. Also, the Frog Pond (popular breakfast restaurant) is right next door so you can walk over for breakfast. I will absolutely keep this place in mind for future beach nights or weekends.

The crowd is stylish but still relaxed, and it strikes a nice balance between "social spot" and "chill upscale hangout" instead of the chaotic club energy you get at other rooftops. Perfect for a girls' night, date night, or just grabbing a drink and soaking up the ambiance. Service was attentive even though it was busy, and the bartenders were friendly and quick. Drinks were good, the presentation was on point, and it didn't feel rushed. Between the design, the vibe, and the atmosphere, this is one of those places that's just fun to be in -- definitely a go-to for night-out-without-too-much-chaos energy. Obviously cannot forget to mention it's the best spot for rooftop photos!!
