"Great hotel!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

I’ve stayed here in May 2024 and May 2025. Obviously I liked it enough to come back- let’s get into it. LOCATION If you need to be in the convention center area, waterfront, or downtown; this could not be more convenient. Easy walk to the convention center or waterfront. You can walk to most places, but if you’re too tired- no worries! The trolley stops right in front of the hotel which is free and an easy route to Amelie Arena, Sparkman’s Wharf, the Aquarium, Publix, and Ybor City. CHECK-IN Quick and efficient, especially for a hotel this size. Patrick is a GEM and shines more than his bling (seriously, the dude has style. Just check out his ring). After staying last year, I wanted a similar view as my last stay and he was super patient in helping to find an available room in a similar spot to last year. BREAKFAST Probably the best free breakfast I’ve had in a hotel in mainland USA. Ample amounts of fresh food in the hot buffet, but before you go there stop at the omelette station. I’m not a huge omelette person, but I have to have an omelette a day when I stay here because they are so good and made to order. The team making them are super efficient- stay in line, follow the process and tip them well. It’s worth it. If you really don’t want an omelette, they have any other breakfast food you could possibly want, all cleaner and better organized than I’ve seen in any other hotel. HAPPY HOUR Yes, it gets crowded. But the bartenders are nice and a free afternoon drink is a nice touch to end your day. RESORT FEE Admittedly, this is annoying, but plan accordingly. Get your Starbucks during the day or plan to grab a pizza or a cocktail in the hotel restaurant when happy hour is over. I would much prefer the hotel skipping the resort fee, but if you plan around it, you can make it work. LAUNDRY Waste of time and money. The washer was fine. Put less than half a load of laundry in the dryer and it came out after 50 minutes just as wet as it went in. This is a huge disappointment for. $3 dryer in a hotel where you need the convenience to work. Would recommend skipping laundry unless the staff can confirm the dryer has been fixed. Overall- great hotel, great team (thanks, Patrick!), and probably will be back when I’m in Tampa!

"So-So Stay but easy to get to the convention center"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5

Decent stay at this hotel. We were in town for business and attended events at the convention center. The hotel is a short walk over to the convention center which was highly convenient. Breakfast in the morning had a wide range of offerings and was fresh and included with the stay. There is a starbucks on site and an in-house restaurant. The room was okay- there was a nagging knocking sound that intermittently occurred 24/7. We called the desk, but nothing resolved. We deduced it was likely pipes or something structural, but it's pretty annoying. Bring ear plugs. Our room had a musty smell, as if it used to be a smoking room. One of our guests slept on the pull-out couch and was pretty miserable. The pull-out mattress is quite thin, and you can feel the metal bars when you lay down, but the sheets and blankets supplied were soft. The pillows are also too soft, so if you are needing something firmer be prepared. The other guest beds were decent. There are microwaves and mini fridges in the rooms. Ice machines are located on odd floors, however two of them were broken during our stay so we had to go down 4 floors. If you are planning to utilize door dash or uber eats be prepared that their valet area is an absolute zoo and only two lanes, so you will likely need to walk around the corner to retrieve your orders. So overall, it was okay. Highlights were breakfast and ease to the convention center. Lows were the noise in the rooms and discomfort of the additional sleeping space.

"Great experience. Will stay again at an embassy suites."

The room was spacious and clean. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The microwave did not work, but we didn't bother having them fix it while we were there. Guets receive a $25 US per room credit each night they stay to use at the Starbuck's on site or their restaurant/lounge on charges to your room. The free hot breakfast was one of the best a hotel has provided. It even had an omelet station. They also had a happy hour from 5pm to 6:30pm every night with select drinks and beers free to hotel guests. Only issue was if you showered about 8 am you didn't get any hot water or water pressure. So make sure to shower about 7 am of 9 am.
