We booked this hotel for one night post-cruise and in order to take a trip to Busch Gardens. The hotel is a typical Embassy Suites so we knew what to expect and it delivered just that. A very warm welcome and good service from any staff we encountered. We arrived really early, expecting to have to store our bags, but... More

I love Embassy Suites. Growing up, it was the choice hotel of my family. It took me until I was older to realize my parents loved it because they got a free breakfast for me and my siblings, and they could get sloshed for free every afternoon at happy hour. After I graduated college, it was my now fiance's and... More

My 15 year old grandaughter & I just returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel. We were in room 231. Nice room, even with the lizard that lived with us!! Just a small chameleon, he was kinda cute. The problem is they were doing remodeling down the hall in a meeting room. Horrible smell from carpet glue, dirty... More

I went to the hotel for work and it is a great hotel, the free breakfast was good, I had a nice room and I loved the free drinks and snacks they have at night. The only problem I had with the hotel was it took me 30 minutes just to check in. The old man (I think his name... More

The hotel is a typical Embassy Suites location, although the hotel is in need of significant renovations. If you are doing anything at USF, USF Health, or Moffitt, this is the closest hotel to those locations. I was willing to trade off the disrepair for being on the USF campus. More

If you are going to USF or Moffitt its a good location on campus. They have a shutttle that will take you within a 5 mile radius so pretty convenient. Also has a nice outdoor pool. My only complaint was that the room had a musty smell and the bed wasnt very comfortable. More

The weekend we spent at Embassy suites during graduation was a great time made even better by Lisa Credo for offering the shuttle and allowing Rafael Miranda to drive our party of 10 to our restaurant to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. My personal thank you to the staff for making our many stays during the academic years a wonderful experience... More

The hotel is convenient to Busch Gardens, USF, mall (including Macy's), and hundreds of restaurants. The suites are like you find in any Embassy Suites across the country but the courtyard decor with water falls and a mini-river is more attractive than the typical Embassy Suites. Staff is friendly and efficient and the free breakfast and afternoon happy hour with... More

Love the convenience, common areas are nice, staff is helpful and rooms are comfortable, but for God's sake, please give these rooms a thorough cleaning! The last couple of stays, the rooms have been smelly. I requested disinfectant spray and all housekeeping had was some citrus deodorizer. REALLY??? We sprayed our rooms down with Lysol which improved the smell somewhat.... More
