This hotel will soon be a Holiday Inn Suite hotel next month. I hope they don't change their staff. The renovations are complete now, except for a few handicap rooms that they are upgrading. The hotel seems like a Mexican villa, with the busy Fowler Ave. next block up, the S.Florida Univ. campus 1/2 mile away, and Busch Gardens 1/2... more

We needed a room at the last minute (11:00 PM) because our other hotel was disgusting. They were great and let us examine a room before we made our choice. Great taht it had two double beds in one room and sleeper sofa in the other. Two TV's and small bathroom that was very clean. The staff was excellent!! more

I was a little frightened about staying here after reading some of the posted reviews. They are all wrong. This hotel is older but it is immaculate. The staff is very friendly....especially Audrey at the front desk. The rooms have just been remodeled. They are lovely. My tv in the bedroom wasn't working and I called the front desk. They... more

We recently stayed at the Grand Suites Tampa. We were in Tampa celebrating my hubby's birthday with a weekend at Busch Gardens. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. Yes, there was construction going on, but it wasn't really a factor in our stay. This hotel was only about 5 mins. from Busch and was very convient to many restaurants... more

This hotel is currently undergoing major renovations. The hot tub was closed and filled with green, stagnant water. The main entrance to our room area was blocked due to construction.

My family and I spend 8 nights at the Grand Suites and had an amazing vacation!!. I was not sure what to exspect with some of the reviews I had read but realized that most people on these sites doing the belly aching often go expecting the stars and moon and want to pay nothing to get it . If... more

In all honesty, I don't know where to start. There were elements of the hotel I enjoyed, yet in other respects, I was very uncomfortable. Apparently many changes have been made in this past year and this hotel went from the Doubletree to the Grand Suites. One excellent thing the Grand Suites did was include a continental breakfast, which was... more

I stayed during the NCAA basketball tournament. Overall this was a pleasant stay. Our room was clean and comfortable. I would agree that it's probably 2 1/2 star quality, not three star quality. Free internet in the lobby was a big plus. I didn't have my laptop with me and it was great to get online. They have a small... more

I too was a little afraid to book a stay at this hotel after reading some of the reviews. We found the hotel staff to be pleasant and professional. The room was clean and looked recently updated. The bed was extremely comfortable, as was the sofa sleeper. We enjoyed the pool area, and the shuttle to the parks was easily... more
