karlaa c
we booked this hotel because of the positive reviews but after getting there, it was just the opposite right when you walk in there is a musty smell that smacks you in the face- almost like cigarette smell the carpets are so old, and the atmosphere in general is just off
when we got to the room, same musty smell no towels in the bathroom, the water from the sink and the shower smelled so bad not to mention the disgusting couch! stains all over it and it was suppose to be a pull-out mattress after driving for 13 hours we were tired, so we ended up just spreading our blankets on the bed and left first thing in the morning i even woke up with a bite on the ankle would not recommend this place!!

Great place, and great visit – safe, comfortable, and convenient to Tampa at a great price! The owner / manager (Bruce? I’m terrible with names!) was very quick and helpful in getting me checked in I stayed in the Amsterdam dorm with 6 beds There were 3 other guests who were friendly and quiet
The bed was comfortable – I slept like a log! And I had room to hang my gear The kitchen and shower were all nearby – convenient and just right Unique decor, and great experience I’ll be back! Not sure what happened to my first review, so my apologies if this is a repeat
Nicole Caparella
Super cool vibe, lots of cool space to hang out outside, I took a bunch of pics of painted artwork on some of the spaces outside I got the rock n roll room and it was immaculately clean and the bathroom was unexpectedly fancy and the bed I would like to bring with me everywhere lol Mary and (blanking on his name) were excellent hosts making me feel at home
When I stayed, there were some college students from Amsterdam, a really cool couple that jammed out on guitar and it was just a very peaceful vibe! Coming back next time I’m in the area 💯
Paloma Gonçalves
I had a great time here! I stayed for one week and it was amazing Hostel with hippie vibe Every night, Bruce would turn on the hot tub for us There was a live jam in one of the days and it was great
There is also free breakfast included Bruce (the owner) tries to get to know the guests! Very friendlyThe internet speed is pretty good I was working from there without any issues

Jordan Dyce
If you’re a Marriott Bonvoy member STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL!!! Checked into this hotel today and requested my enhanced upgrade based on platinum bonvoy status Shawn the front desk attendant rudely stated that they don’t upgrade I told him that is not Marriott policy and my status is not based on the price of the room
He again refused saying his manager told him that was the policy at this hotel I called Marriott Bonvoy customer service and had a supervisor call the hotel and explain to them that they were violating Marriott policy They still refused saying that the General Manager created this policy and he is out of town and they won’t go against him Never been treated like this at any Marriott property I filed a complaint with Marriott and advise all elite members to stay away from these rude arrogant people There are many other Marriott properties in Tampa that won’t treat loyal customers like this
Sherree Ward
We love this hotel The people are very nice and helpful with what you need Beds are so comfortable and it’s great for my back, plus we slept great
Rooms are nice and clean Everywhere is quiet except for the lobby They do have a pool there not sure if it’s open we didn’t go swimming while there Hope to go back there if we ever get a chance too

We planned to stay a week at what we thought was a RV Resort but realized very quickly that this is a mobile home community with a few RV sites We had to be moved from our original assigned site to another nicer one because our rig was too big for it This place is misrepresented on their website
It did not have laundry facilities nor did they share that they were under construction building it What a waste of time and money on this stop for us If you are looking to bring your RV and live here, this might be an option I think they pay rent instead of owning the property but the mobile homes were very dated so who knows what the situation really islots of very senior adults living very close together with no security at all Definitely not for RVers looking for an RV Resort

One of the best experiences we have had at a Marriott location The rooms were very clean and the staff was outstanding From the front desk clerks to the breakfast lady
So nice and friendly We even had a woman (I am assuming the Manager) stop by our breakfast table and ask if we were enjoying our stay Now that is true hospitality Thank you all so very much
Kai Cheung
First impression of this hotel is that it is clean and neat The reception checked us in in a timely manner The room is a bit small but again they are clean, which is really important
The location of this hotel is far from the city center, it is like hidden in a quiet office distract i will say It may not be an ideal location for vacation, but it is definitely much more quiet and peaceful than some hotels closer to the city centerHowever, there were a few things needed to be aware of First of all, due to Covid, they do not have room service We need to go to the front desk to get towels and toilet paper during the stay And since no one came to clean up, we had collected piles of carry out boxes before we checked out I think they may collect the trash during the day somehow, but there wasn’t any clear instruction for us to followSecondly, the maintenance of their room wasn’t doing too well When we just walked in, we saw the air conditioner’s cover was on the floor, the hair conditioner dispenser malfunctioned and the toilet was leaking Actually I opened up the water tank and fixed it for them Also the hand sink in the bathroom has a very weak water pressure, the water just comes out very slow And the thing that bothered me the most was the leak behind the wall or above the ceiling We can clearly hear the water dripping non stop all day The annoying dripping noise is so noticeable especially during the quiet night
carol hamlin
We stayed here to attend a concert We had booked a king room We checked in early that morning online
It said king room When we arrived at the hotel the front desk girl was kinda short but not horrible She gave us our room, when we got to the room it was not a king 2 double beds We went back to say we were given the wrong room She said that’s what we booked We said no She basically called us liars We showed her the reservation which clearly said king Then she said something like they overbooked so we were automatically dropped to a lower room Our friends in front of us got a king and the people behind did As well We were treated horribly We had no choice but to take the room for the night We won’t be at that horrible place again Hire friendly staff

I stayed here for a few nights for work and from start to end was a pleasant experience for me The check in process was pretty quick, the front desk person was friendly and helpful and was knowledgeable about the area they worked in, which is sometimes rare The hotel feels brand new, it’s clean and bright with my room being ideal, clean, comfortable and quiet
Breakfast was as expected I was very impressed with the quality of this hotel, with the price being at a very good value and not all the hustle and bustle of downtown Tampa Look forward to my next stay in a few weeks
Christine Martin
We recently stayed at this property for eight nights with our family of five and a dog Overall, we had a really positive experience! The staff were very pleasant and helpful The hotel itself was clean and well appointed
The room size was large and comfortable for a our family during our stay We also found the hotel very quiet even with lots of guests and dogs staying there The breakfast every morning was also really niceThe only thing I’d say could use a bit of improvement were some of the amenities Because of Covid, the room cleaning doesn’t happen daily We had scheduled it for midway through and they didn’t come, so we had to ask them again and they came the next day We did run out of toilet paper and needed new towels more frequently, but when we asked, they were happy to oblige The cookware in the room was very limited and were missing things like there were only 3 forks and 2 knives The bedding was also less than desirable It seemed like they were using a bedskirt as the main blanket which was odd We had to ask for more bedding for the pull out couch The final thing was that during our stay, one of the two dryers were broken – leaving only one dryer for the whole hotel to use There didn’t seem to be any attempts to get a technician to fix it so there was often time long waits to dry our clothingBut other than those amenities we really did enjoy our time and would absolutely stay there again
Jennifer Patterson
Nice place to stay, comfy beds & pillows, nice location, friendly staff, free breakfast & parking, Major Problem
the carpet was FILTHY & there were several pieces of old food on the floor!! I know this is a budget hotel but went to the manager & told them this is NOT up to Hilton standards! I’ve NEVER seen carpet that dirty in even a cheap hotel! The manager was very apologetic & moved me to another room immediately If there is a Hilton wherever I am travelling to, I usually stay there because anything less than pristine clean is really not for me Hilton has always met & usually exceeds my expectations, but I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the floors in this one

I really liked the area outside the pool with corn hole game The front desk said the cleaning staff is outsourced which I’m not sure is working well for them I’m glad we were on the first floor since I had to go to the front desk several times to get things the maid forgot to leave
On one of the days, the towels left were half dryed They were folded and on the rack but wet If I came back to the area, I’d probably look around to see what other choices there are Desk staff was friendly
chrystal gomez
When I walked in to the checkin counter the first thing I noticed was a fresh smell like essential oils The rooms we nice and clean I’m Very picky choosing hotels and I would stay here again
The breakfast was the only thing not up to par, we had to wait over 10 mins because when we came to eat at 8am there was no eggs or bacon We had to tell the lady it was empty before they started cooking more The eggs were not cooked all the way, ended up just going out for breakfast

ALL Hotel staff is exceptionally polite, friendly and accommodating Grounds are well kept and clean Parking lot is well lit, and hotel is off by itself so no traffic or security concerns
Rooms, lobby, pool all in great shape and CLEAN! Patio is amazing with lots of furniture and umbrellas Stayed at another owned by this group last year Definitely setting the bar high for other Holiday Inns Rates were competitive with much lesser hotels in area Oh and a real hot breakfast every morning with a rotating menu Biscuits, sausage gravy, bacon, omelets, hot cinnamon rolls etc Plenty of dining options in close by as well
Amy Mansfield
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this hotel It’s beautiful, convenient and super clean The best part is the staff, most notably the front desk staff
They are helpful, caring, compassionate and treat you like a guest and not a number I’m going through a very difficult time in my life and the front desk angels swooped in to help me I couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative of them Definitely stay here if you’re looking for a 5 star experience for a 3 star price!
Zero Days
The hotel is quite nice, with many available amenities like laundry room, conference rooms, pool and spa, and a complimentary breakfast areaThe rooms were spacious, very clean, and for a small fee also pet friendly The furniture was comfortable and clean, the staff were very friendly
The location is advantageous in that it is right off the highway, though noise is a bit of an issue outside The view is nice as there are trees blocking the wider highway and some water featuresOverall it was a good place to stop and rest, highly recommended

John Klick
Great location where you can actually walk to things like the Children’s museum Checking in was smooth, Valerie was very knowledgeable in giving me local recommendations and even made my 2 children smile It’s nice to come somewhere new and be nicely welcomed
The pool was great, and surprisingly we had it all to ourselves Wish the exercise room was bigger, but gets the job done while traveling Would recommend for people wanting to stay in the downtown area
Rose Hudson
LaQuesha at the front desk was super helpful Gave us the best advice Checking in was just phenomenal because of her amazing spirit
That girl deserves a raise for real! This experience turned very awful when the fire alarm went off at 4:11 am, at first I was super understanding and very concerned as fire trucks and police start showing up We were one of the first people downstairs and there were no staff around or present There was no direction, no one executing any safety precautions Then at 9 am the following morning the fire alarm went off again for 15 seconds again before turning off again, and again at 10 am for 5 seconds No one was taking it seriously When we asked a staff member as we are walking down the stairs what we should do, they had no direction and basically told us to go back to our rooms What if a real fire had gone on, people would have not taken it seriously due to the previous electrical system errors, that is easily a fire hazard and huge code violation on the fire alarm system, never again We come to find out this was reported happening two days prior due to electrical system errors This place needs to be shut down and electrical issues needs to be addressed, it is a huge risk and not worth the time or money to stay here
Rolando Drausal
I felt welcomed as soon as I arrived Javier greeted us cheerfully and had a great sense of humor Upon check in Jessica found us a very nice room overlooking the River ( mom’s bday)
Room was well suited, clean and with all the necessary amenities All other staff members I met were helpful Good location, 1 block away from river walk, a little over 1/2 mile from Convention Center Very competitive price compared to well known chains

My wife had a procedure in Tampa so we had to stay 3 days The experience was obviously stressful and a bit scary Every single person we encountered at this Embassy made this experience better
The front desk women were beyond helpful and nice The cleaning crew went out of their way to ensure our room was clean and safe before and after the surgery The cook was awesome and the lady in that area offered to fix my wife something special 5 stars and above to this team! Thank you for making a stressful experience better

Attended an awards event there Both conference rooms were well decorated and I loved that one had a sitting area Inside there is a really nice restaurant and seating that makes you feel as though you are sitting in a park outside
Catering staff was very friendly and accommodating (there was no vegan food but they made me a plate full of Romain lettuce) Guests raved about the food

Good morning, I just wanted say what a great we had at your hotel Obviously I don’t understand how the star system works because it says your a 2 star hotel and every review I’ve read says you’re a 4+You Guys were spot on with everything from the pool to the 6 to 8pm cookies and ice cream
Now whoever thought of getting the pancake making machine should get a bonus wow! It is a great thing they come out perfect everyt8me and all the breakfast was spot on The part that I believe helps is you use name brand foods Real butter, the best syrup!!!!!!Thank you for a great stay, your hotel is perfect for visiting all the local museums and the Tampa Port waterfrontWe will definitely use your hotel again

This hotel is one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in! The staff was kind, the room and the pool were clean, the facilities were extraordinary, the terrace garden was amazing! It was relaxing just to sit back at the terrace in the middle of green trees and flowers It makes you feel like you’re blending in the nature and escaping from modern life chaos a little bit The hotel and the rooms smell great from the cleaning but my linen had a blood stain on it
I worked in the hotel business for some time and I know that it’s impossible for some stains to come off, but at least they could have replaced it or put the stained side to the foot level, not the face level Again, I am sure that it was cleaned because of the great smell, that’s why I am still giving 5 stars It was a great stay for reasonable price Thank you to hotel staff!
Letty Torres
The pros were : check in process was great The person at front desk is definitely a great person, very knowledgeable The pool is nice and so are the facilities
Breakfast was great as well, it is available at a cost to you Person working that area was very friendlyCons: the bed is the hardest bed I’ve ever slept on, the door seemed to have paint chipped off on outsideas if some tried to pry it open The chair in room can use updating
Marie St. Louis
The location is perfect and I felt safe during my entire stay The bar and restaurant is right there in the hotel and that made things easy when it came to options The staff was friendly and if you report an issue they try their best to resolve your issue
I wish more was done for Hilton honors members but aside from that my experience at this hotel was a good one

My stay was a 10/10! I have to deduct 1 star just from partial cleanliness I did stumble across a roach upon room entry Once killed I didn’t see anymore so I chopped it up to just being a big building, however I’ve been to other hotels without any pests
Morning breakfast is AMAZING A cook to order option or a continental breakfast option The bar at night was also nice The bar tender was a cool guy and pleasant to deal withWill be returning to hopefully adjust to 5/5
Avi Satlow
The hotel is fine and meets my needs However, I am somewhat dissatisfied with these chain hotels eliminating certain amenities such as free breakfast (and charge $1095 for a very limited continental breakfast- no eggs, waffles, etc, without additional charge) and the unlimited 5-mile radius shuttle (now they only service specific locations due to corporate COVID policies)
If they charged half the cost then I would be writing a 4 or 5 star review Now I’m seriously rethinking staying at so called “upscale” hotel chains rather than lower star economy brands The only appeal to this hotel is the proximity to my law school; otherwise, would never in a million years pay $175/night or so (after tax) for this hotel
Jessica Connolly
Came here for a business meeting Very clean and welcoming upon walking in Bar on the side, not quite sure if it was an actual restaurant
Pool and fitness center located in the front The conference room was very nice and perfect for what we needed Fit about 30 people comfortably and it looked like they had a separator too so if you needed more space, it looked possible Great location if you’re from out of town; located near I-75 and the crosstown and anything you could possible need within 5 minutes

This was our first time staying here but definitely not our last Our AC broke and the heat displaced my family of 5, including our 3 young sons We came in late last night, were put in a comfy room and slept so peacefully
The staff was amazing! Debra in the dining room was amazing! My sons loved her She made us feel at home despite our displacement When we told Cesar at the front desk how amazing Debra and Genevieve were, he encouraged us to leave a review Cesar also acknowledged us as Gold members, he was very kind We will recommend to others and we will be back

Sadly I am rating this a one only because ZERO is not an option I am writing this review as a former employee hoping future applicants are able to get a view on how it is to work at this hotel First and foremost I have 5+ years with hotel experience and I have never worked in a hotel with such POOR management
Never have I felt where I was less important then the head managers here, where they are NOT WILLING to work with there employees; as if they only really care about themselves Not to mention that the employees are not informed when the hotel has bed bugs, bugs that I took home cause I was NOT INFORMED about them Overall I hope changes are made so not only future employees and be happy but current ones as well
LynAnn Phifer
We stayed here about 6 weeks ago My only complaint now is that the breakfast was much better 6 weeks ago They used to have bagels, bread and English muffins to toast, now that has all been taken away
They had eggs you could scoop now They have egg sandwiches that are pre wrapped in plastic The breakfast really wasn’t the quality it was 6 weeks ago

NOT RECOMMENDED! Front staff were very nice Decent breakfast ZERO parking either of the nights
Had to park on the street a block away Shared parking lot with another hotel Front desk told another guy to park between the handicap spots Used the coffee maker for hot water and sludge came out from the previous user putting coffee grounds in the wrong spot (which meant it hadn’t been cleaned between stays) Elevator was out, we had to carry our luggage up and down three floors Toilet seat wasn’t seated properly so it slipped and clunked every time you sat on it If it hadn’t been so late, we would have checked out and gotten another room Gave them grace the first night, thought parking was a fluke It wasn’t

Had 8 rooms reserved for a business golf trip Book rooms months in advance because our golf resort 2hrs away was full for the night of arrival into Florida Was on vacation in Florida with family and called hotel 2 weeks prior to cancellation room deadline to cancel room block
Spoke to an associate to cancel the rooms The associate told me that I needed to speak to a manager to cancel the rooms I was placed on hold for 20 min Associate came back and let me know the manager could not speak to me at that current time and to call back Of course with being on vacation and doing family activities, I forgot to call back I realize that is on myself but when I realized I was charged for the room block for no showing, the manager I spoke to said they had no Idea why the associate did not cancel the rooms on the first call There wasn’t a need for a manager to cancel the rooms in the first place, all associates are able to do the room cancellations I am not looking for a full refund, but maybe just something I have requested on 4 different occasions to speak with a manager at the location through Marriott elite services but have never gotten a call back I just feel that if the hotel handled my call correctly right away, we would of had this this situation
Scott Thompson
Marriott Titanium member who travels a lot and 95% of stays are on Marriott properties Nearly never write reviews, but wish I had known this info prior to my last minute booking, without research Staff was fine, but this hotel simply does not meet Marriott standards
It desperately needs updated Dingy, worn out carpets, musky odor, everything outdated and showing its age What was presented as breakfast was sub-standard as wellAfter first night, I moved to another Fairfield (Tampa Wesley Chapel) and was quickly reminded of the dramatic difference, as the other one is modern, clean, spacious, etcI’m sure staff at the Brandon Fairfield are doing their job, with what they have, but the current state of the hotel should not be accepted as a Marriott property and I felt a review should put out there for those preparing for a stay in the area
