We had some vacation time to burn at the beginning of the year, so we spent the weekend in Brandon. The lobby was nice and the staff was very friendly.We had booked ahead and we requested a room away from the elevator and the ice machine. What did we get? A room directly across from the elevator. By the time... more

This hotel had all of the normal Embassy Suites standards, and is a nice new property, but lacked some intangibles that we often find in an Embassy. We like to stay at Embassy Suites for some "pampering" and found this property lacking in the customer service area. Because this hotel is an Embassy Suites, and we expect top quality from... more

My daughter and I arrived in Tampa on December 6th for a short two-night stay--we were attending a funeral. Check-in was quick and easy and parking was abundant. The hotel had bell carts; getting our luggage upstairs was easy (I prefer valets and bellmen, but this hotel was convenient and the reviews great). We used the pool shortly after check-in.... more

Very nice. Rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The staff are wonderful. I was travelling on business and did not know they area. They were extremely helpful in helping us locate restaurants, shopping, etc. more

The "happy hour" consisted of me and one other... more

We booked this Embassy Suites based on it's tripadvisor rating, and our past history with the chain. We were greeted promptly, checked in quickly, and went right up to the room, a second floor suite right over the atrium. We went right down to the pool, and the kids enjoyed it. It is right out front, facing the front lot... more

This place is incredible. It's brand new and has all the newer amenities. Flat screen TV's in both bedroom and living room area. Granite counters. Beautiful bed linens and furniture. Much higher level than your usual hotel or Embassy Suites. Can't say enough good things. Immaculate housekeeping. The location is convenient to the highway and shopping. Not too far from... more

This was a great hotel all around. The front desk staff was very friendly. Great flat screen tv's in the rooms (but no HD programming). The pool was being renovated (3/28/08) but looks like it should be open in the next few weeks. They had it set up to use the pool at the hotel next door. Managers hour was... more
