First room smelled like mold so i asked to move. Then I get hit with a smoking fee when I only sprayed aromatherapy essential oils. They said it was a open flame with smoke. Booked at $488 for two night got charged over $800 leaving. Thats not including the valet only parking that is $45 every night there. The rooms don't have heat and do not go above 71. There are no stairs so you have to take the elevator no matter what. No apps on the tv so you have to be in 2001. All together just a waste of money for a "good" hotel. A dog pissed in the elevator from the 19th floor down and we had to enjoy that because there are no stairs to get out from for the "safety" of guests. Marriott is close just go there.

Air conditioning in the room wasn’t working at 1am. Front desk staff, Emma and Josh, were quite rude and less than helpful with the situation. Finally after a half hour of phone calls with the front desk, the maintenance guy came and replaced the air filter and acted like that was going to fix anything.

The Embassy Suites Downtown Tampa is a very convenient place to stay when visiting the convention center. Nice folks at the desk and check in was fairly quick. My room could have used a bit of work in that the toilet paper holder was falling off the wall as were the hand soap and body lotion dispensers.

We had a great stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Downtown Tampa. The location is extremely convenient—less than a 5-minute walk to the Benchmark Convention Center. We went to the Stevie Nicks concert and were so glad we chose this hotel. After a late, rainy night, being able to walk just a few steps and unwind was perfect. We didn’t make it to breakfast since we had to travel back home early and breakfast starts a bit later on weekdays, but it was great to have a Starbucks conveniently located in the lobby so I could grab a cappuccino before hitting the road. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a mini fridge and microwave. The staff was very friendly, and the valet parking team was polite and provided fast service. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
