Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa USF Near Busch Gardens

Hello, my stay here has been great. The customer service was awesome. We were able to check in and the person who served us was very nice and professional and pleasant. Her name was Ms Angela. It had already been a long day. Our church group was coming in from Georgia to visit Bush Gardens. After this long trip, it was great to be able to be checked in, in a nice and timely manner. Ms Angela checked us in and was very helpful in explaining things concerning processing our payment, letting us know about our room and getting us our keys. Our room was great. Nice and clean and well put together. Sleep was great and refreshing to experience. I would definitely recommend this establishment to others.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Tampa - USF/Near Busch Gardens

Tampa|0.65km from University of South Florida
Will not live again. The room was still ok. The room was very clean and new, but the service attitude of the counter lady could be said to be extremely bad. It was because she came in the middle of the night and she turned a blank eye and complained that her attitude was worse than that of my girlfriend who was cold war with me. After I gave my name passport to my friend, it took me 15 minutes to throw the room card directly to us. I didn’t say anything.

All aspects are good and worth recommending. Free parking for you, the traffic is very convenient, slowly open from Tampa Airport, about half an hour. The bed is large and can sleep four people. Breakfast must be praised, a variety of fruits are very much, obviously better than other similar hotels.

We stayed here for a week for a wedding, the room was clean, the bed was comfy, I didn't care that there were no cooking utensils because I mostly just wanted the fridge and microwave in case we had any left overs from us going out to eat. Staff was friendly and when ever we needed anything we got it. Location great, not far from the family we were visiting. There were many guests that I could tell lived there and that's fine but there were some creepy/shady guest there and once there was a time where I thought maybe a drug deal was going on, we were coming back from dinner and there was a creepy looking guy at the door next to us knocking using code and saying ”maintenance” in a very quiet tone over and over, it wasn't that late, maybe 9pm so I thought he didn't need to whisper. I saw many employees and maintenance guys while there and they all had Woodspring shirts on and badges! This guy was scarey and acted weird just very uncomfortable. I didn't mention to front desk or anything maybe I should have, I could have just been being paranoid. I did smell pot many days we were there, inside the halls!!! Overall stay was good but next time I will stay somewhere there is a pool (not sure if Woodsprings has pools but if they did I would stay there) as that would have been nice on the horribly hot and humid days we were there and didn't feel like driving all the way to the beach.

My daughter recently completed her first year at USF. I live about 3 hours away and this was my 4th visit to Tampa area. The 3 previous stays were at a ”boutique” hotel on Fowler - the visits degraded from my first time to the point the Fowler hotel became sketchy - so I opened up my search area, and WAS SO HAPPY to have booked a stay at the Residence Inn Tampa @ USF/Medical center. The lobby was CLEAN with FRIENDLY staff - the ”mini-mart” that they had outside the lobby was fully stocked with EVERYTHING you may need during your stay. I LOVED seeing the tamper proof seal on my hotel room door, AND the fact the REMOTE CONTROL was sanitized and in a sealed baggie... that did it for me! The room was beautiful - the fully stocked kitchen made door dash obsolete. The fact that there is a Starbucks literally within walking distance made my stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast selections were fresh and plentiful. This is definitely my hotel of choice when visiting my daughter!

The first impression was not the best. The desk clerk was a bit rough. The room was an average 2 bedroom room. The beds were comfortable and there were 4 good pillows. Asked the desk clerk for extra blankets and was told that they did not have any. That was a first. Have never heard that before. The room was well lit. There were no USB ports. There were a coffee maker, a microwave, and a fridge. The fridge needed defrosting. TV was good. There was no booklet with emergency info, TV channel listing, hotel info, area attractions, etc. The shower was very nice. Large walk-in. No tub. Water pressure and volume were poor like most hotels. The toilet seat was very loose. The air conditioning worked well and was quiet. The bag breakfast was pathetic!! Overall, not a bad place to stay for the price.
