I stayed at this hotel because Marriott properties were not included in Expedia's Gas Card promotion. These "suites" do not include a Full Kitchen like in Marriott residence inn. There is no free internet in the rooms. It costs $9.99/24 hours for internet in the room. The only free internet is down in the lobby. The free breakfast and custom... More

I stayed here for a week during a business conference. The conference was also held at the hotel and was catered. So, I got a real good feel for the rooms, layout, and food services. The layout is okay. All the rooms face in toward the glass covered atrium which can create a mild echoing effect. The elevators are all... More

Great hotel for access to Busch Gardens and USF. Typical of most Embassy Suites. Breakfast was good. The rooms were clean. The hotel was full and you would never know it as in the evening I never heard a noise. Breakfast was crazy with people. The walls must be soundproofed. The shuttle to Busch Gardens is fantastic. Great drivers, takes... More

My family, friends and I stayed here just last week. We all agreed that it was a wonderful stay. Loved the complimentary breakfast and manager's reception(free drinks and snacks). We took advantage of the free shuttle, the guys driving were really nice and at times were funny(be sure to tip). Front desk was helpful and the business center, free internet... More

Stayed here during the height of Spring Break frenzy in Tampa and didn't regret it a bit. Even though the hotel was hosting several teams' worth of college athletes (softball and golf, it seemed), the place was clean, comfortable and...QUIET. There's a very nice outdoor pool -- but only limited chaise lounges, so you need to claim one early. The... More

We stayed here 3/23/08. Two adults and 4 teens in connecting suites. Great hotel, our rooms were spacious and comfortable. The complimentary managers reception (5:30-7:30pm) was perfect for snacks for the kids and drinks for the adults. The free breakfast buffet was also wonderful. The hotel is easy to find and a very quick drive to Busch Gardens. We would... More

We stayed at the Embassy Suites when we visited Busch Gardens in Tampa. It is right down the street from Busch Gardens. The beds were comfy, the rooms were fairly quiet and we slept great. This is an above average normal hotel, not a great luxury one. The bathrooms were nice and big but starkly furnished. Some have mentioned "for... More

My husband, 13 year old son, and myself stayed here for 4 nights in mid January. The hotel is in a great location to Busch Gardens. Our 1st choice for accomadations is usually an Embassy Suites. We like the 2 separate rooms, cooked to order breakfast, and complimentary drinks in the evening. And, of course, this Embassy Suites gave us... More
