Embassy Suites

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 22 Dec 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

I would never stay here again. The entire hotel was under construction. The pool and spa were unusable, we were not told about that. The lobby was under construction. We had to put up with elevators out of order due to the construction and dodge entire areas of the hotel that were roped off. In addition, the hotel charged us $8 per night per car to park, not told of that until we checked in. Charged us $50 on our credit card the day we checked in for incidentals that they did not tell us about and then when we found out at checkout told us it would be 4-5 days before that charge dropped off our card. Internet access was $13 per day. The nice breakfast buffet and complimentary cocktails in the evening did not make up for all the hassles and problems and extra hidden charges we had to put up with.

Positives: Best complimentary breakfast buffet I've ever had.

Negatives: Many hidden charges for several things we were not aware of until we checked in and out.

Nice hotel. Clean, friendly, great location. Love the apartment feel the rooms have. I am not big on parking fees, and was suprised when I was charged to park my SUV in a very small parking structure. Other than that, great hotel!

Positives: Friendly staff, clean, accomodating, great location.

Negatives: Parking charge.

Positives: Fully equiped kitchenette.

Negatives: The unexpected $8.56 charge for on site parking, using their garage.

I'd be glad to return there.

Negatives: Dining options.

I was placed in a smoking room upon arrival. When I asked to be changed immediately due to small children and allergies, we were told we had to wait until the next morning; and I had to personally see to it as no one on staff made the effort the next day.

Positives: Computer room with free internet service, free breakfast.

Negatives: Ongoing construction, fee for self parking.

Very nice and helpful staff. One receptionist advised us on good dining locations and as we arrived back to the hotel just as she was driving away at the end of her shift, she went out of her way to come ask us how our experience was. Very thoughtful but memorable courtesy.

Positives: Great employees! Great breakfasts!

Negatives: Air conditioning unit was a little noisy.

Embassy Suites are the best place to stay at.

I liked the hotel, but they didn't know how to deal with a customer.

Positives: It was very pretty and clean. Pool was very nice and open until late.

Negatives: They don't know what they are doing.

If large groups of high school students are staying there, they should be all booked on the same floor. Please don't mix them in with the other guest. It was very difficult to sleep with the noise. Other than that our stay was fine.

Positives: It was convenient to where I needed to be for the weekend.

Negatives: Rooms need to be updated- better beds.

Overall, great value. The room we stayed-in was very dated but the hotel as a whole has been renovated very nicely. Pleasantly surprised to find full buffet and made to order breakfast included. Service was very good, great location and access to interstate. Outdoor pool looked great but didn't get a chance to use it.

Positives: Nice pool and lobby, good service, handy convenience store, great comp breakfast.

Negatives: Smell in room and microwave was bad, room decor was very dated, dirty drinking glass in room.

Restaurant staff was very pleasant. Pool/Hot tub were nice. Carpet, furniture and paint in room need to be updated. The kitchenette was absolutely nothing more than a small microwave and fridge.

Positives: The breakfast buffet made a big difference in increasing the star level. Fairly nice hotel but needs to be updated.

Negatives: Room could have been cleaner. Vents dirty, soap dish dirty.

It was huge and very clean. The breakfast buffet was not very good.

Positives: The spacious rooms were wonderful!

Negatives: The food at the breakfast buffet was not very good either day we ate at it.

I give it a great review. Would return again.

Negatives: Can't think of anything.

The hotel seemed to put most of its $ into the lobby, which was very nice. But, the rooms could use some updating.

Positives: Loved the 2 BR, 2 BA suites. We could all stay together and each has our own BA.

Negatives: The kitchen was gross and in definite need of upgrading.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 05 Nov 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

They were helpful in getting that straightened out though.

Positives: The view was breathtaking from the 16th floor room balcony.

Negatives: They charged my card when I didnt order anything.

Very clean room with exceptional beds. Gorgeous view of the city of Tampa. Close to airport. Beautiful lobby. Professional, courteous, excellent staff. My only negative comment would be that the furniture in our room appeared to be manufactured in the mid 1970's style wise. It was all in excellent condition and cleans, but the colors were orange, green, and yellow, with brown leather cushions on the couch. Very old fashioned looking. But overall an excellent hotel.

Positives: Staff upgraded my room at no charge. Clean room with great beds.

Negatives: Furniture in the rooms (couches and chairs) looked very stylishly outdated.

Hotel is at a great location, close to 2 local malls, within walking distance. Hotel is aptly named embassy suites, my room certainly felt like a suite. I was expecting a complimentary breakfast of juice/coffee/Danish, but instead the hotel provided a full breakfast bar, and even a short-order grill cook for fresh and customized omelets! Enjoyed my stay, will visit this hotel again, for sure!

Positives: Separate seating/lounge area a plus, full breakfast bar.

Negatives: Everything was great.

I would stay there again as well as recommend it to other business associates.

Positives: The rooms were icily decorated and conducive to work focus. The beds, pillows, and linens were fabulous!

Negatives: The staff acted some bothered by requests for preparing paid copies.

This was a good experience. I plan to stay here again the next time I am in Tampa.

Positives: Responsive staff. Requested crib and had it quickly.

Negatives: Elevators were slow at times.

Although the location is good, rooms are large, and beds are comfortable, the furniture, appliances, and interior decorating require upgrade. I stayed 3 nights in Tampa and one night in Altamonte Springs. The Altamonte Springs Embassy Suites was twice as nice and half the cost.

Positives: Location is great, rooms are large, beds are comfortable, restaurant good.

Negatives: Rooms need upgraded furniture, carpet, curtains, wallpaper, etc.
