My friends and I stayed at this hotel this past weekend during a Kid Rock concert It was our first time in Tampa Florida and we checked in a bit late but Trish at the Front Desk was amazing!!!!!!! She went above and beyond every night of our stay She gave us great idea options for dinner plans during our stay and we loved every single recommendation

I will definitely be back soon! I work at a corporate office and we usually book domestic flights with hotels so I will absolutely let my manager about my stay here for our events I hope to see Trish and the helpful staff soon!

Checkin was good, the lobby very pretty but very cold The staff was friendlyThe toilet was clogged so we put towels around it and called the front desk we let them know at 8 am when we got back to the hotel at 7 pm it still wasn’t fixed and had overflowed onto the towels we put down

We called again and they sent someone up to fix it but they didn’t send anyone to clean up so I cleaned it up and went to the front desk for fresh towels and told them about the towels in the bathroom those towels sat there for 3 days When we were checking out housekeeping asked if we needed anythingThe view of the bay was beautiful and guest services was nice Although we tried to buy our park tickets through the hotel since they were so much cheaper but no one knew how to get or sale us tickets

Visiting here from Panama City FL, One of the cleanest places we have stayed Housekeeping was very nice and the rooms were so clean I’m usually iffy when booking Hotels but they definitely deserved 5 stars

Front desk staff attendant was very pleasant her name tag said Princess I remembered her name because she was so pleasant and gave us great hotel details and made us feel really welcomed I felt a lot better after arriving and coming in contact with her when checking in All around nice hotel My kids enjoyed watching the plane fly over the pool 😉

PM

Overall, this hotel is not bad The staff is helpful and housekeeping changed bedsheets/towels everyday (not many hotels do that these days) The room itself was spacious and beds were comfy

However, there is a bit of a noise problem at this hotel Firstly, there’s quite a bit of noise coming from the street Plus, the walls between rooms are not very sound-proof The guest in our adjacent room would play TV all night and we could hear the sound The bathroom is too small The hotel also feels a bit old, however, it is clean and maintained in a decent state

Benji Sharrow

This is one of the better Comfort Suites I’ve ever stayed in The people working here are super nice It seems like someone is always cleaning something

Housekeeping actually had the desk call us to ask if they could clean our room which is not normal these days Hot tub is awesome, good breakfast and good night sleep! Definitely recommend this hotel!

Great, clean hotel with friendly staff The young man that got me checked in (2/1/2022 at around 10:30 pm

, dark hair, beard, very polite) got the whole thing done in about 3 minutes without making me wait all night for him to get to the desk I was impressed before I even got to the room The mattresses were a tiny bit stiff for my taste, but that’s the only, very small, gripe I can come up with The hotel is reasonably priced and well kept It’s great I highly recommend it if you’re in Tampa and you don’t want to spend a fortune on a quick overnight

Viki Walters

I got a “surprise” deal on Priceline and it was one of the best choices I’ve ever made Front desk staff is absolutely wonderful, so friendly and welcoming There is a full hot breakfast with a make your own pancake station, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and cereal options

There is coffee in the lobby at all times The room is large, clean, and comfortable Air and hot water work very well The bathrooms are clean with lots of bonus amenities – the full size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are a nice touch My only complaint is you can hear every noise in the halls and we happened to be staying on the same floor as a large group of cheerleaders who partied and ran up the halls yelling to each other till midnight Still not enough to ruin my experience and considering we got a great deal, I can’t even be that annoyed We didn’t use the gym or the pool but both look clean and well kept Would absolutely stay again

Chris Manager

We ended up having to stay here for a couple of weeks while our apartment was being finished for workWendy at the front desk is just so friendly and fun to interact with each morning when we were grabbing coffee on the way to work Christy the manager is absolutely outstanding and we actually have been in the hotel chain business ourselves as well as boutique hotel experience and I guess that we’re pretty fussy about our customer service! But we couldn’t say enough about how awesome Christy runs this place!!Highly recommend!!! 👍

We usually stay at Comfort Inn but decided to “up our game” on this trip The problem started when we arrived They were resealing the asphalt parking lot so a lot of it was blocked off and what few places were left was taken by cars and trucks parking sideways across multiple parking spaces and still others were blocked by orange cones

The second night, the desk attendant told my daughter to park far away in a dark parking lot Didn’t care about the cars parked sideways Didn’t show any compassion to the situation at all I moved a cone and took a spotThe room was decent The window gave us a great view of the roof of part of the lower building and side of another part of the building The beds, in my opinion, were not as comfortable as the other hotels I mentioned The A/C worked great The room was cool when we entered and it got cooler very fast The thermostat had some blown LCD’s but you can tell the temperature well enoughThe ice machine is right beside the elevatorOne curious thing was that the trash bags were just laid across one lip if the trashcans (bathroom and bedroom cans) I mean, even Motel 6 puts the open bags in the cans so they can be used and trash taken out easily, but these trashcans had the new, unopened bags just draped over one rim Do they expect me to pay more for a room and also open the bags myself? That isn’t going to happenThe bathroom had a hanging “barn door” which was cool The handle to the tub felt loose I thought it could fall off but it didn’t The water pressure was great Good hot water But there was a small sulphur smell to the water This could be a Florida thing because the water at my in-laws smells and tastes the same so can’t hold that against HiltonMy daughter purchased breakfast with the room NO FREE BREAKFAST? Even Quality Inn has free breakfast But at least the breakfast here is real eggs which was nice You can order specially cooked eggs (omelets, over easy, etc) Browned potatoes, bacon, sausages, bagels, muffins, juices (apple, orange, pink grapefruit) I didn’t look at what else was offered And even though the meal was part of the room deal, when we asked for the omelets, we were brought a bill It had “complementary” written across it But 2 omelets was $28? I know it was for the omelets because the second morning we just had the buffet But apparently the bill was brought for a tipI think I’ll stick with my favorite hotels from now on With the parking problem and the lack of concern from the desk clerk and the weird thing with the trash bags, it soured me on “fancier” hotels I’m sorry if the management doesn’t like this review, but this was our stay Don’t like not getting rave reviews, fix the problems mentioned

Angel Rodriguez

Family is the word that describes this wonderful hotel Been here on a family emergency this folks has been so helpful showing us how to get around and giving us a ride when we needed During breakfast the young lady name barbie really took good care of of and very knowledgeable about the area and pointed us to right direction as well as taking goodcare of us During breakfast

ask for barbie she’s a peach what a wonderful person Thank you barbie 😊

Christine Wilkins

This was a staycation to visit family and this hotel deserves more than 5 stars The pictures don’t give it justice Our room was thoroughly cleaned and I liked that even the remote was sealed with plastic post pandemic

And the receptionist Agnus (something along those lines) was one of the best receptionist I’ve encountered From greeting as soon as we walked in and from making sure we were ok each time we crossed paths And the breakfast was really good buffet style but wish it was free breakfast but 1294 per person isn’t bad either

Barbara Lemieux

Was pleasantly surprised Room was spacious and clean I work in the hotel industry and believe me I looked for dirt and insects but couldn’t find any

I’m guessing I stayed in the newly renovated section Front desk staff was very courteous and helpful Breakfast was fresh and exactly what I needed Hotel was under renovations but all noise ended by dinner time Would definitely stay here again

Kayla Larimore

We enjoy staying here while visiting family because they offer two-room suites Having two bathrooms and two closed rooms with kids is a great deal, although a little pricier than we would normally spend on a hotel room The furnishings are a little dated but we have never had any issues with cleanliness or staff

A major plus is that pets are allowed for anyone traveling with furry companions

John Vargas

I stayed here for 5 weeks in a row, business trip I have not a single complaint about it, one day they were doing some renovations and water was running through the closet walls and they immediately acted and fix the issue, their personal was very nice and the most Important thing for me was the cleanliness all over the place Pool area was very good too and location was perfect for me

Will definitely stay again

Recently I started traveling again for business and I have had some wonderful experiences at Marriott hotels I almost stopped using Marriott as my go to chain for travel after my wedding reception in December 2021 I was widowed over 10 years ago and after becoming engaged in 2019 decided to hold our wedding at this hotel based on very positive reviews

We waited almost 2 years to get married because of the pandemic In fairness to the hotel the ceremony went well It wasn’t until the next day that we started hearing from guest and family about various issues People told us they were shocked and surprised at the lack of variety the bar had to offer which was baffling to us considering we contracted for a premium bar package I should have realized something was terribly wrong when my husband had to supply the bar with cranberry juice I don’t know if this was just poor planning but it wasn’t right Maybe this hotel didn’t consider this event important but it meant everything to us And yes I did contact the hotel on the next business day and I was made to feel like it was my fault since I didn’t report all of the issues the day of the wedding Again, we didn’t begin to hear about most of these issues until the next day I have no desire to speak with anyone ever again from the hotel and nothing the management team can say will ever justify what happened that night

Candace Turner

Surprisingly pleased The building is totally renovated so it’s clean Bathrooms are excellent

Beds and blankets are nice Wasn’t expecting it to be so nice for the price We got it for 134 on a Saturday Last minute I usually stay at the hotel Alba tapestry but it was sold out Definitely a strong runner upThe only down side was the dates pool area But the gym and food area was nice

Amber Roberts

Stop apologizing to me and my family! Nobody has tried and compensate me for my troubles or time If you want to know the real story and really care about your customers then ask your manger Asia’s what really happened Then get back to me and try telling me you are sorry

This wasn’t one hold this was two holds on my account One of $330 the first and the 2nd was $287 This isn’t my first time staying at a hotel a hold for incidentals is usually $50 dollars he most I had TWO separate holds of $330 and $287 so tell me how that’s right? Stop making it sound like I don’t know what I’m talking bout Because you are very wrong and don’t know the entire story I had to put my kids to bed hungry that night! Your apology means nothing when my kids are crying hungry and want food Your apology doesn’t put gas in my truck to get home Two separate charges ma’am two! Now if you would like to contact me to hear what happened before you assume it was a normal hold, Asia and Karen both have my email and phone number

The hotel was a little older, but was in the middle of a remodel The room was clean There was plenty of storage to unpack for the week

AMAZING food just around the corner, Thai, Sushi, Poke, and Seafood! The best part of the hotel was the legit fitness center Most just have some dumbbells and a treadmill This gym had enough equipment to do a complete workout! Breakfast in the AM isn’t included, but the staff is so friendly and helpful that I didn’t mind having to pay!

Kayla Larimore

We have stayed here a few times when visiting family The location is great right off of Tampa Road – you can easily get to many local destinations The hotel itself is nice but not too pricey

The kids enjoy the pool and the adults the hot tub We have frequently noticed there are no pool towels and had to ask for more at the front desk No issues with cleanliness or staff Good stay for a family vacation!

I have stayed at this location twice and both experiences were great!Mario at the front desk is amazingHe is super friendly and very kind(both times) Definitely an asset to this hotelBreakfast staff are very attentive and helpful also

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any room This site will compare thousands of booking websites and usually will have rooms much cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of my favorites in the area

I have been coming here for years If you stay for a few days you won’t be let downStill features one of the most elegant Sunday brunches in the area, although there are no real safety precautions which was a bit disappointing Food is fresh and well -prepared with a wide assortment of breakfast and lunch/dinner fare The buffet includes a free mimosa, unlimited coffee, hot or iced tea and soft drinks

Marcus Miller

As a venue for a wedding, it was a great choice Absolutely incredible dinner service, bar was great, and lighting was well managedFor the hotel/spa, sub-par

Pool is nice, but crowded Limited chairs and towels Charges for spa were supposed to be waived for wedding, but wouldn’t remove a small $32 charge because it was booked through a third party Not a big deal, but more of the principal of the matter Room service was running behind for a morning breakfast (scheduled) 21% gratuity is automatic and the price on the menu didn’t match the price on the bill Very unfortunate considering a gratuity is linked to serviceThe entire hotel needs a coat of paint and a pressure wash outside Multiple parts of the hotel either smelled of mildew or bleach The room was clean and well stocked, but the towels were rough The furniture could definitely use an upgradeRecommendation for management/owners, whoever is the hospitality manager for the venue/wedding operations should be put in charge of all the others operations as well Perhaps they would bring the service level up and we’d stay again

Chris Camerlengo

Went for spring break with my son to catch Yankee spring training A relative set us up with a 2 night stay From check in to check out was nice place

Could use better water pressure and room updates But beds were comfortable Food at hotel was solid And the surrounding areas have places to eat Was a too short trip He will return with friends next year

I don’t know why this place is rated as a “2-star hotel” because it’s so much better! I stayed here for 7 days and it was a good experience Kim at the front desk was so personable and warm, & I felt reassured that I had made a good choice She shared details about the property based on where my room would be, and even called to check if I was comfortable a few hours after I settled in

Every interaction with her after that was consistently friendly & pleasant My room was well maintained and very clean The A/C worked with zero issues and the WiFi was high speed connection Where do you get top-notch service like that at a “2-star hotel”?The pool & hot tub was sparkling clean, grounds well kept, housekeepers always around, no garbage left in the outside bins for long etc anywhere The spacious pool & gazebo area was actually one of the nicest I’ve seen at a hotel You can lounge around and not be on top of everyone elseI’d definitely stay here again

Isaac Small

Preface: I don’t often write good reviews For a more entertaining review you may look at others which I have writtenThis is a place where the trash cans are never full

The room was clean when I got there and the AC was cold When the AC quit working the maintenance man was knocking on my door within 10 minutes to swap it out… an ordeal which was over in 5 minutes The Concierge, Andrew, works until midnight and claims to be the maintenance supervisor, but he will tell you where to go and what to eat if you ask him It’s hard to find someone so committed to a hotel that they have worked there 20 years but Andrew has and it shows I once saw him swap out a refrigerator after 11pm after a guest complaint I heard rumors that the pool is excellent, the hot tub is world class and the free breakfast is one of the best but I never tried any of that What I found amazing is Ginger Ale in both vending machines and a vending machine with ICE CREAM The diner next door, Lenny’s, also deserves a visit The best part of the room is the patio, but the towels are also fluffy

Dorothea Burkot

I travelled solo and I loved the service at this hotel! It was clean, and you have everything you need in this hotel where it includes breakfast! I really liked, and there was fresh water infused with fruits that was made everyday! It is close to everything! I felt safe staying here I definitely will return! I do recommend this hotel

The hotel needs updating It probably was very nice at one time The bathrooms are great, the meeting rooms were great (I was there for a conference) and the food was excellent

We did not buy the breakfast there because it was very overpriced The beach is a bit dirty but still enjoyed sitting by it I don’t mean dirty like trash, I mean dirty like it looks like lake water The temperature inside our room was hot The unit showed 65 but it was prob closer to 80 We sweat at night the last night I read other reviews where they had the same issue They don’t have a fridge or microwave but you can get a fridge if they have a spare one and you ask I found that weird It is 2022, hot outside, and the price suggest at least this amenity Would I stay again, absolutely if work is paying I would personally prob get a different hotel if I were choosing But it was still a good stay and I’m not opposed to returningPlease put some money into updates and this place will be worth the visit

Joel Gorrín Monzón (Joe Google Reviews)

My first impression of the hotel was not shocking It is not a luxury hotel but the reception was excellent, the entry process was fast and very good cleanliness in the main Lobby area The elevators are in very good condition and when you arrive at the room very good impression, very spacious, good view of the bay, good temperature and good smell, the best thing about the room is the bathroom, super spacious and comfortable

The only downside is that it doesn’t have a refrigerator but nothing so necessary for usMy Joe Google Rate is: 95%

Allie Taylor

When I booked, I was told I could check in early for $50 on the phone I had a surgery that morning When I arrived they charged me for and entire extra day for checking in early

When I did check in I was not given a parking pass and the parking person outside wasn’t there Finally he showed up and told us to just go in the garage THEN, I went to the room and it was the wrong room We had to walk all the way back to front desk and sit and wait for him to finally find the room that I booked THEN, before surgery I am required to take a shower, the shower is broken there is only one temperature, hell fire I tried every angle to take a shower and it wouldn’t even shoot out cold water, only hot Called the front desk they said there was nothing they could do So I had to basically burn my skin to shower before my surgery I was supposed to be sleeping before At this time I hadn’t had any sleep yet Also the pillows were rock hard They advertised room service for food and none of that was included I paid $700 for a day and a half and I would never go there again Also the carpets were filthy in the room and in the halls

We love staying at Hampton Inn & Suites anywhere we’re traveling Justin was so helpful at check-in and answered all of our questions quickly Great guy and so welcoming! We spent the entire day on a road trip; we had the best night’s sleep ever

The beds were so comfortable and clean Our room was equipped with a television, microwave, coffeemaker and refrigerator It was perfect for our familyThe complimentary breakfast was delicious and the employees were so nice (especially a English woman working in the breakfast room); I’m sorry I don’t remember her name We talked about Greece and her home in England My husband and I really enjoyed chatting with herIt’s so hard to find quality hotels sometimes, especially pet-friendly ones Our Jack Russell terrier enjoyed his stay as wellWe highly recommend

MANAGERMENT ARE THIEVES, DO NOT STAY AT THIS LOCATION!Management stole money from me, lied and have avoided my phone calls and emailsBack in April 2021I stayed a week at this location as I was looing for a rental property to rentI was charged for a pet cleaning fee when my animals are registered service animals

Upon disputing this with my bank the manager declined the dispute and said that they would return the funds I never received a refund, I was presented a receipt that says they did it however upon taking that receipt to my bank I was asked for a Visa Trace #I reached back out to Hampton in and have attempted several times over the span of several months to contact them, requesting a visa trace # and neither the ASM nor Manger (Bitz) would return my phone calls nor respond to my emails and provide me with the visa trace #I attempted to go to Hilton Customer Service and they cannot do anything because its individually managedSo now I share with this to the world, if you have the option to stay at another location i absolutely urge you to do so! This is probably get deleted by paying some fee however I will continue to post until my matter is appropriately handled

Christie Rogers

I liked that the location was within 30 minutes from major places to see in the Tampa area The room was quiet and comfortable Plenty of charging stations in the room, a fridge, microwave, and a coffee maker

The bed had a comfortable mattress and a heavy comforter that made the bed cozy The breakfast was your standard complimentary breakfast with eggs, breads, and coffee There was warm oatmeal and breakfast pizzas which was something different The staff was friendly

We stayed for four nights with our travel baseball team – which can be A LOT! The entire staff was very patient and friendly with all of us and our kids The gym was great and the dining and pool areas were as well The room was clean and spacious and the staff was very attentive – especially Nadia

She was very sweet to the kids and families, we all loved her! Thanks so much for making our stay so enjoyable

Nancy Bailey

We had a great stay, especially when we had mentioned we were a family of 5 rooms staying for a funeral, they put us all within 2 doors or just across the hall from each other The hostess for breakfast Nadia, was totally amazing Waking up to her kindness and care she showed to each of us was fabulous

She took the time to greet us and ask for anything we wanted or needed Her individual interest and interaction was above and beyond typical service Nadia each morning would make us mini waffles, and her smile and charm very enlightening We all love you Ms Nadia! 😍

Jake at the front desk is a great asset to your organization My wife and I checked in at about 6:00 pm on a Thursday with at least three other guests ahead of us on line and at least 2 phone lines ringing Jake handled everything and everyone professionally and courteously

The room was fine although the shade on the door to the balcony needs repair

Nice, clean hotel Up to date amenities, very large room with kitchenette Hotel is in a beautiful neighborhood and there are 2 very good restaurants in the same plaza

The only thing we didn’t care for was the very soft bed which left us both with sore lower backs, you actually have to struggle to get out of the bed There is no breakfast offered but there is a very good diner in the same plaza

For the price the hotel was great The customer service was good Whenever we requested something from the front desk, the staff would call your room to confirm you received what you needed

I loved having a laundry room that you could use a debit/credit card for and not have to worry about getting cash The view is amazing, we had the bay side view The room is spacious and it was convenient to have a full size kitchen and bedroom that is separate and private from the living room area We love the ability to go for a swim at 7am while having a drink at the pool The grills were a plus as wellI gave 4 stars for several reasons but mainly due to the room not being cleaned very well I did address this with the front staff and they sent someone to clean the area we were the most unhappy with The pool towels are limited so I would recommend bringing your own The room could definitely use some updating and we were a little disappointed because the pictures shown on their website looked betterRecommendations for the hotel is to put larger trash cans in the kitchen, add brooms/ mops in the rooms (Especially because we stayed 8 nights), make sure enough toiletries are provided based on the length of stay, purchase more linens, and update the rooms (The tub had peeling paint, furniture outdated and beat up, and cracked flooring)Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return

Crissy Knight

Overall loved everything about this place!! Atmosphere is great Much quieter than expected Being on the 3rd floor we heard no one above or below us

The pull out couch was very comfortable, happily surprised Our only real complaint, and it’s gross Actual dirty dishes were in the cupboard Easy fix we just washed anything and everything before we used it

Jennifer V.

Went for a weekend getaway for sun, a pool and water view This place did all that The grounds are beautiful and well kept

The poolside restaurant had super hardworking and friendly staff; food and drinks were great Pool area was small and could use more chairs as they are filled up really early The hotel itself is outdated but clean overall and had everything we needed We did request toilet paper and towels twice and never received them, but when our TV broke a maintenance worker showed up very quickly Unfortunately the free shuttle bus is very unreliable; upon arrival after waiting an hour and half at the airport we took a cab And upon departure we reserved it for 10am and it was about 40 minutes late, which caused a panic as we had a flight to make Over this is a great place for quick stay for some sun and fun!

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

We stayed here our 4th night on the road and let me just say it This place was exceptional Very clean

Even the fitness center was beautifully maintained The breakfast was better than a restaurant Piping hot and tasty The woman in charge of the whole dining experience was very friendly but not at all invasive She was treated everyone like she was happy they chose to be there We would stay here again I thought I had taken pictures but I guess I didn’t

Jeff Ruth

We can’t recommend this hotel They cancelled our reservations the morning of our arrival

right as we were in the middle of a 12 hour drive to stay with them We had no other options in the area and had to sleep with some friends on their couch Their reasoning for the cancellation they said our booking on Expedia was not a guarantee as we needed 2 beds and a pull-out sofa for my son They said that was a “request” The room was paid for and for all we knew we were set I’ve never had a hotel do this to us before If you booked with them directly you may be fine If you use a third-party website I’d avoid this place You are not a priority

Maggie Flynn

Hotel is clean and everything and have amenities, but the hours are so limited on the pool, it makes it hard to enjoy and of them, especially if you are only staying one night Check in isn’t until 4pm, leaving you 15 hours to swim when the sun sets at 5:30

Or 3 hours if the sun sets at 7 It’s just not accommodating at all Then they tell you (rudely) that you can hang out at the fire pits as long as you don’t “make any noise” Those were the exact words of three person at the front desk We are already dreading our stay and it hasn’t even started yet

I really enjoyed my stay at Fairfield Inn Everything from the time I entered the building it was all great All of it was well worth me booking my stay with them

Big room and a big bed clean and fresh and bright Bathroom was way bigger than I thought it would be So places give you a great room But the bathroom are a after thought Hugh walk in shower which I love I will definitely staying with you guys my next visit anywhere

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

Clean, well maintained rooms I used the gym in the evening It is well equipped with all the basics – treadmill, elliptical, bike, bench and free weights

Breakfast and coffee were good as always Airplane noise is audible but becomes significantly less frequent later at night Front desk does off ear plugs which is the first time I’ve seen any hotel offer them So they’re aware of the potential problem and doing their best to mitigate That being said, I had no problem sleeping without using ear plugsHampton is always my go to when traveling And this hotel is no different

Steve Barthelmes

Did not get a chance to stay here because my flight was canceled I wanted to see what my options were so I decided to call instead of cancel online I was on hold with 2 different people for over an hour, just to cancel the reservation

Each person I talked to asked me the exact same questions The people on the phone were very nice, but over an hour, just to cancel? They said the front desk showed I already checked in even though I was 2000 miles away So they ended up creating a case, and claimed someone will call me I really really doubt it What a terrible experience

Ruth Williams

The front of the building was under construction, but they make it easy to find the lobby Staff friendly and accommodating, when we asked where we could get utensils in the evening the guy at the front desk showed us through the doors where we could get them ourselves There was a laminated paper on the bed when we got in telling us that if we needed them they could provide ear plugs, but the sound of the planes really wasn’t loud or bothersome at all

Very clean, overall decor and furniture seem new, bed super comfortable Breakfast was as good as any Hampton Inn breakfast, eggs, bacon, waffles, etc But the best part about breakfast was that the chef had made and handed out Valentine’s day cards with fake roses to the guests! He stood up and wished us all a happy Valentine’s day from Hampton Inn too That was a fun touch

Great hotel, clean rooms, pool was cold but nothing a bit of sunburn won’t cure The staff was great and very polite Oddly, in the middle of the night, the water goes out

I recomend fixing that water issue and having more shaded areas around the patio We would definitely go back

Codie Sanders

If you’re looking for a place to stay in the north Tampa/Citrus Park area this is it! It’s one of the few hotels in the Tampa area with FREE PARKING! The hotel is pretty new and has lots of seating areas in the lobby for anyone who needs to get some work done The breakfast food options are decent and will range between $12-$15 There’s a great outside seating area with a fire pit

The rooms are a decent size and are pretty comfortable There’s a desk in each room that make getting work done easy The bathrooms are modern and very cleanAdditionally the hotel is next to a walking trail which is very convenient for walking, running or biking There are several food options nearby and within walking distance from the hotel There’s also a mall and shopping center nearby

A++++++ THANK YOU JASMINE & RAMONA !!!! I haven’t reviewed a hotel in a whole long time but these two people at Marriott here really made me feel welcome They had all my room preferences taken into consideration and offered me so much during my check in 💙💯I really appreciate the wonderful, very clean, comfortable room you have for me

Not only did they take the time to rebook my next room for the rest of the weekend, Thank you Jasmine They also helped me with getting my laundry done by borrowing me a few quarters from their own pocket, thank you Ramona 🙂🙏You both really are great and kind, and they should have more people such as yourselves working or training others at property’s that don’t go all the way like you both have 🔥🤙🇺🇸💜Sincerely,Joe
