I thought the embassy suites was a great place to stay while visiting the Tampa area. It was very close to the main attractions and had a free drop of and pick up service to them. The breakfast was nice and easy. The rooms were clean and big.

We had a great stay after the initial shock of the cigarette smoke smelling room. The staff quickly reassigned us, but we had to go down to lobby with lugging our stuff around to exchange keys for a room 4 floors higher.

You can't go wrong with this hotel. Clean, friendly staff, hot breakfast included in your room rate as well as free drinks in the evening. Great location near Busch Gardens and the casino as well. Only problem is it's a bit of a trek to the beaches.

Best choice for anything at USF ---right on campus. Price was marked up pretty high for the special event, but, overall probably worth it. Big, well appointed and clean guest rooms. Top quality reception staff. Wonderful included breakfast.

This hotel couldn't be more conveniently located relative to USF, however it is beginning to show its age. We had several rooms booked for graduation, and have stayed on other occasions over the past year or two. On this occasion, the room appeared a little dirty around the edges, particularly in the baths, a bulb was burnt out in the... More

Director of Catering and Sales Eva Pennington was excellent. she is the best person you could ever have in the position. Superior service. the atmosphere was great. Everyone worked very well to accommodate the needs and to ensure everything went well. I would most assuredly stay here again and would highly recommend this hotel to all my family and friends.

Find somewhere else to stay. This hotel is worn. Our room was dirty and smelled of smoke. When we pulled out the sleep sofa (why we use Embassy Suites) there were crumbs everywhere on the mattress and pillows. We woke up when the sun was shining through a small hole in the curtains - likely a cigarette burn. Breakfast was... More
