Top Business Hotels in Tampa

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.

Hotel Haya is an an amazing hotel located in he heart of Tampa’s Ybor City Historic and Entertainment District just minutes and blocks from downtown and the best airport in the world. The coffee shop has the best café con leche of any place in Tampa, the Flor Fina restaurant has a wonderful menu that serves the best lunch and dinner in Tampa. And you cannot meet a friendlier and accommodating staff from the valet to the front desk to the waiters and waitresses and bartenders and even the people who clean your rooms!

The hardest blasted bed I've ever been on! Then, we had some people racing their motorcycles nearby and calls to the front desk to report/request police help were met with disbelief since I couldn't tell them exactly where the motorcyles were - I did tell her to step outside and she'd hear it.... The hotel itself is charming, clean & nicely decorated, other staff were terrific so maybe this was just an ”off” night....

I always enjoy my stays at the Embassy Suites! The room was remarkably clean, everything worked properly, the comfort level was great & this location was close to the majority of places I wanted to visit. The only small downside was that the amenities that I enjoy the most were unavailable due to the pandemic; namely, the Breakfast & Cocktail Hour. Overall, I’d still say it was a great stay!

The ceilings were very low. The property was VERY dark inside. Access to the pool was VERY awkward (if not, a little scary). There was a bar at the pool but it was not open. No where to get food or drinks.

The staff at Le Meridian could not have been better or nicer! They were incredibly friendly and helpful….a big shout out to LaLithia at the front desk who was awesome and helped us upon check-in. The glass of complimentary sparkling wine upon check-in is a nice touch. The complimentary coffee in the lobby from 6 am until noon is also a nice and appreciated touch. Our room was very spacious and very clean. I am giving my review a 4 start vs 5 star because of the room decor and, quite frankly, the hotel (hallway decor) as well. Whoever was in charge of interior design should be fired! Our room was incredibly depressing because EVERY wall except the entry hall was painted a DARK gray. The carpet (new at least) was also a DARK gray. The bathroom was ….guess what….a DARK gray. Because the hotel is a converted old court house, the ceilings are high and made of cement so there is no recessed lighting (understandable). BUT, there wasn’t even a floor lamp in our room. It was SO DARK and DEPRESSING. Needless to say, we felt we were living in a CAVE. When you stay at an upscale hotel for a getaway or mini vacation, you expect to feel happy and uplifted. The decor did just the opposite. In addition, our room was lacking ANY seating area other than the bed and a desk chair (at bar height to match the bar height desk). It was CLEARLY MISSING a couple of comfortable occasional chairs. We called the front desk as soon as we walked into our room and requested a couple of chairs. They brought us 2 stacking chairs. I guess it was the best they could do under the circumstances but they certainly weren’t comfortable chairs that one would want to relax in. Also, the TV was very small given the size of the room and the distance from the bed to the TV. As for my reference to the hotel decor, and specifically the hallways, Marriott fell so far short in making this hotel what it COULD be given its unique history and architecture. When you walk down the hallways the bottom half of the walls have old marble (a nice touch and vestigial feature of the court house) BUT the top half of every wall is BARE. It is just COLD and lacks ANY sign of nice decor. Why wouldn’t they line these hallways with old, framed photos of court houses, court rooms, judges, etc???? Or old photos of Tampa? Or have a local artist paint murals on these walls? Ironically, the hotel gives its guests free passes to the Tampa Art Museum but whoever designed the interior space didn’t bother to include ANY artwork in the hallways. And the “artwork” in our room consisted of a few ugly, random cheaply framed posters. You might think that I am overly critical….after all, as I said, the staff was lovely and responsive and our room was spacious, quiet and clean. BUT, because our room was just so DARK and DREARY and DEPRESSING we wanted to minimize the time we spent at this hotel.

It is the second time I have stayed at this hotel the first time the experience was negative, since the room was full of cockroaches, in the refrigerator there were like 5 dead cockroaches as well as the microwave, it was obvious that there were never cleaning areas, the Dirty sheets from the previous guests, since they had not changed it, at that time I submitted the complaint to reception and the excuse they gave me was that the cleaning staff was new and the receptionist moved me to a cleaner room. I wrote a letter to the hotel with the photos, they apologized for what happened and told me to give them the opportunity to stay at the hotel again to change the negative image I had about it. Now the location is excellent, the discount on the ”Choice Hotel” membership is cheap that is the only thing I can say is good, because the reception service was not pleasant on this occasion, the receptionist was very rude and had an attitude. They demand a mask and I clarify that I had my mask, but they don't use it. Again I had a very bad experience with my assigned room. The cockroaches continue in the rooms, a dirty glass in the laundry area, I don't know if it was beer or urine, because I wasn't going to touch it, the hand wash was dirty and with hair on the counter and the floor, in addition to That, the handwash was covered, if I used it the water was soaked. I worked for many years in hotel chains such as Marriots and Holiday Inn, I never saw anything like it. He could not spend more time in this depressing place, very disappointed. And with this condition of the Covid-19 worse. I hope that you as the manager will take action on the matter or I will see this hotel closed very soon, when it is impeded by the health department.
