My stay at the Embassy Suites was a mixed bag. The rooms were very spacious and well-appointed, but the overall condition was pretty bad. The service was rude, except for the friendly and professional employees. The location was great for the Gasparilla Distance Classic races, and I will definitely come back for that. The dining experience was fine, held in a ballroom with only buffet options. However, the hotel itself was very clean and convenient for all our functions.

The hotel had a lovely location, great for exploring the nearby nightlife and arena events. The rooms were spacious but needed better attention to cleanliness. The service was hit or miss with some staff not meeting expectations. Dining options were good, offering a variety of choices but with restricted hours. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The hotel had excellent rooms that were spacious, comfortable, and very clean, with a great view of a wall; the service was friendly and welcoming. However, there were some issues with cleanliness. The location was perfect for certain events, but there may have been some maintenance concerns. The dining experience was outstanding with varied options. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was perfect, close to the Amelie Arena and right on the Riverwalk with easy access to bars and restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, almost like an insult. Nevertheless, the waterfront walkway and Street car stop nearby added to the fabulous location.

The staff members I interacted with, including room service, housekeeping, and valet parking, were all amazing. They went the extra mile to assist me, even fetching a box I had forgotten in my vehicle.

The location couldn't have been better, being near the Amalie Arena, Sparkman Wharf, and the port of Tampa, perfect for my visit. The proximity to my favorite bars and restaurants at The Sail was a major highlight.
