This was a surprise and a very nice place. On the south side of the USF campus within walking distance of the University buildings. Having said that, 15-20 minutes in the hot sun on a humid day is a very long walk and a car would be better. But for the average person in normal weather, park your car. Also,... more

Stayed at the hotel for a single night. Being a Hilton Diamond level member I am used to a little bit mnore enthusiastic welcome however the front desk was polite, professional, and efficient; no complaints whatsoever. Obviously is is actually ON the USF campus so if you are visiting anybody there I am not sure how much more convenient of... more

Property is very, very shop worn. Seems to be mid-80's architecture...nothing has been done since that time. In-room lighting is at best, dim making it impossible to work. A/C had a high pitched whistle that could not be fixed. Housekeeping is passable only. Food is tasteless, service is just ok. Front desk staff is uncaring and the bellstaff is downright... more

standard Embassy but you can tell the age. Lobby is nice but bathroom can use some renovating or updating, especially in the bathrooms. Nobody seemed to check if people using the pool were actual guests. You didn't need a room key to get in through the parking lot and it's on the backside of the building. Also it didn't seem... more

I stayed from Jan 15 to 17. Even though there was a computer issue at check-in, staff was accommodating and apologetic and was even jovial. Very engaging at checkout as well. Nice touch with the free breakfast and free internet access as well as the suite. It is near the campus of the University of South Florida and close to... more

I have stayed at this hotel on and off for years. This time I was truly disappointed with the declining condition of this hotel. The King size bed was lumpy and the linens are cheaper and worn. My grandson was to sleep on the sofabed .. but we had second thoughts when we saw the stains and awful condition. The... more

Spent the weekend of 11/14 for my brothers wedding. Loved the free breakfast in the morning and the free happy hour from 5-7. I thought the hotel was beautiful and the staff was accomodating and friendly. Tom was wonderful and I have to say, he was the absolute highlight of the weekend for all of my brothers friends and family.... more

Recently stayed at this Embassy Suites for 2 nights to visit Busch Gardens. This is the first time we have used Embassy Suites and we were very impressed. This is an excellent location and with the free shuttle to Busch Gardens you can forget about the car, just leave it in the hotel car park. The room was very clean,... more

My husband, two teenage children, in-laws and I stayed at the Embassy Suites near Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL over the Labor Day weekend this year. The hotel is very close to Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. It only took minutes to get there. The hotel is also right on the University of South Florida campus and would be great... more

I don't know where the other reviewers stayed, but this was the worst Embassy Suites I have ever stayed at---maybe I had a bad room, I don't know. The bathroom was dirty and in need of refurbishment, the furniture was old and dirty and the carpet was stained and dirty. We were there for a conference and the hotel was... more
