Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Convention Center

8/10 Good

"The doors have pretty big gaps under them. But everything was clean a little outdated but very clean snd nice staff"

OASIS BAY SUITES, Tampa, Busch Gardens, USF

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super clean. Very cozy. Loved the bed. Was comfortable, quiet room. And enjoyed that there was a separate living room with kitchenette. Loved the outdoor space. Truly will call it an oasis. Wish i could stay there for a month but a bit costly for an extended stay use. Enjoyed the pool. Appreciates that it was open till 11pm. That’s huge plus. Pool was clean, pool towels stationary, just loved it all. Great outdoor space where you could lounge, relax, even do BBQ, play floor chess, etc. Breakfast and breakfast area - was unsatisfactory. Limited food. Pancakes were made in advance and mostly uncooked. Limited coffee and other food items for breakfast. The breakfast was the only disappointment. In overall, enjoyed the stay. Will come stay here again, definitely. Just please upgrade your breakfast. Will recommend to everyone."

Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! Everything was very clean, the air conditioning worked great and kept the room nice and cool, and the room was very comfortable. The hotel is also conveniently located, making it easy to get to nearby attractions and places of interest. I highly recommend this hotel!"
