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.

Way way below expectations…

1st room both beds were full of long black pet hairs. The blankets and sheets. The 2nd room smelled like strong mildew. The 3d room was dated but allowed us to rest. I left my insulin in the fridge. It took over 6 hours to reach someone over the phone? I received a vm from front desk advising me I was still in my room 5 hours later after initial check out 12 noon. All rooms should not be open to pets. Some humans are allergic to pet hairs and pay to stay somewhere clean

Horrible, dirty, poor customer service hotel

I have stayed in numerous hotels, and this was the worst hotel ever. This place is not clean at all. There were roaches crawling on the floor. I had an iron but no ironing broad, so I had to use one of our towels to place on the counter to be able to iron. And the worst thing that happened was, somehow the bathroom door Locked and I was unable to get into the restroom. I woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning to use the restroom and wasn’t able to get in. I called the front desk 13 times and no answer. I walked down to the lobby area at 3 o’clock in the morning to find out that both the side door and the front door were locked with a sign stating that if you needed assistance to call the number that I had already called 13 times with no answer. Luckily, I had another family member staying at the hotel that and I was able to use their restroom at 4 o’clock in the morning. I do not recommend this hotel at all. You will waste your money and their customer service was horrible. When I mentioned to them the experience I had all they could say to me was I’m sorry I’m sorry.

Iron didn’t work, took two days to get a working iron and we were checking out by then. Safe didn’t work and no one came after request to fix it, over multiple days. After cleaning, not one towel was left in the room. Had to request twice because they only brought a few towels the first time. There automated system for requesting things like this is absolutely terrible!!! You can never reach anyone by phone.

Check in was very slow, rooms not ready after 4. Staff delaying/stalling check in progress. Lobby bathroom at 3:00 was a disaster. Check in associate very unprofessional, could hear names and room numbers of other guests from table waiting area. Only good thing was Breakfast
