I love Embassy Suites. Always great or at least very good. This was the worst Embassy Suites I’ve ever stayed at! First room we got smelled moldy and musty. Next room was ok. Front desk was blah. Waited many minutes while they were working on their computer before being assisted to get room changed. No hot water in sinks and shower. A barely bearable luckwarm shower was what we got. Will look for somewhere else in Tampa next time.

Disappointment

The hotel itself seemed to be kinda dirty and not cleaned very well. There was no hot water for showers as the boiler had went out and nobody seemed to be bothered by it when we went to the front counter. The quality for an Embassy was down right disappointing and May never stay at another Embassy moving forward.

Overall my stay was good. The only complaint I had was the shower. The water pressure would drop extremely low and turn cold all at the same time. Then after about a minute, it would return to normal.
