Not a good experience!

Well, first our first night there valet lost my keys and my car, did not know where anything was. It took them about 35 minutes to get my car from valet. We went back to the hotel room. The room was warm so we turned the air down to 65. It never reached Below 72 in the room. We got up Saturday morning. I went to the front desk to let them know that the air conditioner was not working. He nonchalantly said I’ll send maintenance. Maintenance came in there three different times and said he could not fix the air conditioner and told me to go back to the front desk. I go back to the front desk the guy Moves us to another room finally. Overall, the hotel was OK Justin the manager was extremely nice when he found out what all had going on and helped us out. I appreciate him very much. But some of the other workers at the front desk were very rude And really didn’t care that Our air conditioner was broke and it was hot in the room.

The property has only minimal on-site parking. We had to park at another property 2 blocks away, drag our luggage back to the hotel to check in and two blocks back at check out in downtown Tampa. We had to move our vehicle at midnight or risk having our vehicle towed and fines. Staff apologized, but was otherwise unhelpful and afford no discounts or assistance. Ultimately, the accommodations were sketchy, low quality, and fundamentally unpleasant.

The property itself was wonderful. The staff was excellent, very nice and polite but when I got here to check in, I was under the impression that I only had to pay the remaining $35 for my stay. I would read it by this nice gentleman at the front desk he told me that I need to pay $100 deposit and I thought that was everything that I need to pay when I prepaid for my room thank God I had extra money. What would I’ve done if I didn’t have the hundred dollars in my account to pay the deposit And then he said that I wouldn’t get the whole deposit back I’ll get a $30 food credit and I guess I will get $70 back so that was like a kind of surprise to me and I didn’t like that.

Clean and location was the only positive during my stay. And breakfast was good. Now for the negative: -crazy fees -crazy confusing check in and out -staff looked overwhelmed and unsure of what they were doing… Crazy high tech CHECK IN AND VALET ARE A NIGHTMARE!!! VERY LONG WAIT! Over an hour in valet until they finally got my car. It was ridiculous. -I’m used to resort fees hidden fees etc… but there was a 30$ fee added to get food from Starbucks whether you like it or not. I don’t go to Starbucks ever, so that to me is. BS!!!!! , I’m a longtime traveler and I have never been so irritated by a a hotel to write a poor review before but this one took the cake…, the complete chaos and overcrowding in the lobby is unacceptable!!! I will never return!!!!!!

The Hotel was under renovation, so parking was limited. I had to park across the street for $30. when I tried to leave the next morning the parking garage was trying to charge me again because they said I should have been out the previous night. Just give customers a heads up with parking etc.

Valet parking was closed when we arrived, very disappointing! We had to drive around to find a nearby parking garage, and walked several blocks to get to hotel with luggage. Air conditioning throughout the Hotel (hallways and common areas and elevators were very hot. Bar area was a bit slow, not enough bartenders during their busiest hours. Also, too many fees associated with the overall stay! Designation fees, incidental fees was $200 for 2 night stay, and valet is $45 per day, which we’re unable to do bc parking was closed.

Checked in online and was told we still needed to hit the front desk, was greeted in the lobby by a woman with an iPad who said my room was ready and directed us to a line to get our room key. After 20+ minutes in said line, the front desk staff said the room was NOT ready (even though it was nearly an hour past check in time). Thank goodness the hotel bar was open, as we didn’t get a text to let us know our room was ready until nearly an hour later. The room was fairly clean, and the bed comfortable despite fixtures being poorly affixed to the wall. Decent breakfast buffet in the morning. Quite underwhelmed with our experience since this is supposed to be a Hilton property.
