Tampa hotels in West Tampa

The staff (not managers) are friendly. My stay at this hotel was entirely disappointing. I requested a room away from the elevators and had called twice to confirm this request and was given a room right next to loud creaky bumping elevators. My friend had ordered me room service to be in my room when I arrived as a surprise and it was never there and would not have been delivered had she not asked how I enjoyed my surprise food. At my insistence I was moved to a different room the next day and the day I left the hotel saw a BED BUG crawling on my pillow as I was getting ready. I alerted the staff who was appropriately horrified only to NOT hear from a manager for the next day and a half. After repeated calls and emails from me including one to a front staff who said she had seen the manager and was surprised I had not heard back only to be lied to by that same manager hours later that she 'only just arrived' and that was why my calls were not returned. Finally after a rant to a lower level manager the front desk manager was all of the sudden made available to me and finally an investigation into the bed bug was launched. What is MOST disturbing is because they themselves had not 'confirmed' this was a bed bug (which is very clearly was...I have photos) they could not tell me for certain that no one else was staying in that room. At the LEAST that room and neighboring rooms should have been closed and checked immediately but the managers were slow to take action and initially very dismissive. It is a DISGUSTING feeling to have the experience of knowing you slept somewhere that has bed bugs and all the effort I had to put in once I got home to try and decontaminate myself and my stuff to not infest my house and my baby's nursery. Most disheartening was the response from the hotel on the matter. I wish this review would let me submit the picture of the bed bug I took. I was forced to stay at this hotel because of an exam that was being given onsite but I will never stay at this or any related hotel again. Not even because of the bed bugs themselves, but because the hotel was so slow to respond and so dismissive, potentially putting others at risk as well by not quarantining the room(s).

When we opened up the mini bar it had not been cleaned in a while. Something brown had leaked in the bottom of the fridge. Very gross. We were told another guest had put some of their own things in the fridge and that's what made the mess. So no one ever cleans or looks in the mini bar? We were in a junior suite and you expect the room to be clean. Also there were 6 bed risers stacked up on the bedroom night stand. Will not be back again. Very disappointed in the hotel. You should not have to call the front desk to get your room cleaned.

Location, attractive room and lobby, parking garage, nice TV. The high bed, no hot water, difficulty turning on shower, toilet running, broken bathroom door hook, no movie channel.

The fact that its next door to a strip club Sink didnt work. Had to use shower to brush teeth.

The location is great and very close to the airport. You could tell that the room had been updated (new paint, fresh linens, nice towels, etc) and there was a mini fridge - not bad for under $100 a night. The bed was horrible - completely worn down to the springs on one side and the other wasn't much better. The sheets were nice though. The outside door had a gap about as wide as my finger all the way around and the carpet looked quite dirty and worn. The front desk staff were pleasant at check-in, however it was a completely different story at check-out. I clearly interrupted the two employees talking when I walked up to the desk. After both looking at me standing there, they continued their personal conversation for another five minutes and after realizing I wasn't going away, reluctantly came to the desk. I said I needed to check out, she asked my room number, then didn't say another word, just slapped the paper on the desk and walked back to the office behind the desk, closing the door behind her. Not a bad price, but I don't plan on saying here again.

Price Soggy , sticky carpet. AC leaked. One slow elevator, getting to our room was a challenge. NO continental breakfast, NO microwave in ea room (one $20 microwave next to ice machine)

I found some odd kind of little insects crawling around on the desk in the living room area. The fridge couldn't be used because it reeked so bad. My daughter wouldn't use the quilt because the padding was so old it was falling apart inside and was in small pieces and looked dirty. From the outside the hotel looks nice, however, don't be fooled.

Location is the best thing.... close to everything downtown - Restaurants, Mall, Ibor City. First appearance was nice but room was not cleaned at all several times. I had to request soap and towels everyday because they were never replaced. If they did clean the bathroom always had a sour smell after as though they were using a dirty mop or towel to wipe down. They did not vacuum once in the 8 days that we were there. To top it off we came back to our room to find the room next door to ours propped open and the pillows from the bed were all on the floor and the maid was nowhere to be found. The room door was wide open for anyone to walk in and the same pillows that were put back on the bed had just been on the floor.. this is just GROSS. Nasty feeling and I didn't walk on the floor with bare feet. I will never stay here again. Save your money and go to another hotel.

Room wasn't nice and bathroom tub was gross

Lobby is nice with better-than-average free breakfast and Starbucks coffee. Building is old- room is old, chips in walls and the shower didn't get hot. Pull out couch bed wasn't very comfortable.

The "double" beds are very small. I had a reservation for 4 people and they gave us a room for two. I went to the front desk to look for a solution and they were charging us with extra fees to get a confortable stay. I cancelled the reservation and went to the Marriot accorss the street and we ended up paying almost the same for a bigger room and included breakfast. The Holiday Inn was horrible and the staff had a bad attitude. I'll never visit this hotel again The staff, the room, the service

Excellent conference capability. Breakfast buffet offered many choices. Rooms were sufficent size for comfort.

They serve Starbucks coffee staff attention to customers was only fair. Too much personal stuff going on with staff

early check-in design was chaotic and confusing, no breakfast

Took my family to Busch gardens for the day, when we checked in we had not eaten and we got room service, the food was horrible, the fries were cold and the kids chicken tenders were burned. The room was old and outdated and had a very week wifi signal. Overall I paid 267 dollars for this one night, when I really should only have paid at the most 150.

I liked the sports bar in the hotel lobby. The rooms were way old and outdated. There was furniture missing from my room and when I asked about it, all they said was to wait until next year and I wouldn't be able to recognize the hotel after its renovation. I had no where to sit except my bed.

right by freeway, no mention of that anywhere. VERY LOUD FREEWAY. they gave us earplugs ... its just kindle a crappy chain hotel. yuk.

the staff at the players club bar THE ENTIRE HOTEL. THE WHOLE PLACE WAS OLD AND FALLNG APART.

It was a nice facility. Staff were friendly. Pool was nice. Staff were very poorly trained, almost every step of the way things were done poorly or incorrectly. They didn't have my reservation which was made through this booking agency so we were told we'd have to find another hotel with out kids. No apology. Staff were leaving with piles of hotel cookies for themselves as we just sat there with no place to stay for the night. The hotel blamed the booking agency and said they do this often, I asked why the hotel chooses to work them if they often leave their guests with no room for the night. Obviously the booking agency sells their unsold rooms and this works out for the hotel and they don't care that it sometimes leaves the customer with no place to stay. Finally we asked for a second manager and she was somehow able to get us a room at this sold-out hotel and the first manager then appeared with some cookies for the kids. Room service never brought the drinks we ordered and paid for, the cot didn't have a sheet, the bathroom sink was leaking from a pipe beneath it and the phone lines to the front desk were constantly busy when I tried to tell them about these things. Room service trays were left outside rooms for 12 hours at a time as cleaning staff walked right by, kind of gross to look at. The hotel double billed me for the room I had already paid for through kayak. They billed the credit card that they told me was just for "incidentals."The staff here really need some training in customer service and basic hotel management. One of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. This hotel is very damaging to the Hilton brand.

The double bed room is comfortable and the business center is open 24 hours, though the ventilation system was out of order for the whole 6 days without repair The 8 floor vending machine was out of order for at least 11 days. the ventilation system in business center was out of order without any repair and we have open the door to breath when using the computers.
