Embassy Suites Tampa - USF
University/Busch Gardens Location
Back to Embassy Suites Tampa - USF
I loved this place. Rooms were nice (wished a big larger) and clean. Breakfast was excellent and free! Shuttle service was great. Take you anywhere within 5 mi and pick you up when you were ready to come back. Very close to Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. Free computer/internet use. The manager's reception from 5:30 to 7:30 was nothing to rave about. Just nachos, chips and pop (I think one beer if you drink). Great location; close to a mall and every food place imagineable. Desk staff were friendly and very helpful; even gave us maps and great directions for everything. The only thing I disliked were about 500 high school football players in town for football camp! They smelled up everything and were loud and noisy. I would stay here again!

Close to Busch Garden, shuttle service, staff attentive to problems (toilet needed flat and a light bulb needed to be replaced) all taken care of before we could unpack! Happy hour (FREE beer/soda and snacks) each night along with an excellent breakfast buffet. Would certainly return to this one again...

This is absolutely the worse Embassy Suites I have ever stayed in. And I have stayed in them from coast to coast.

The hotel was very nice and clean. It is close to everything, Busch Gardens, USF, Museum of Science and Industry, downtown, Channelside. They have a free happyhour from 5:30 to 7:30 every night, also have a free gourmet breakfast every morning. I'm not talking about a continental breakfast. This is a made to order omlet style breakfast.

I was sitting in my car at the hotel with the engine running about two feet from a brick wall. While my wife checked in. On his way to another car the bellhop was two lazy to go around my car and didnt ask me to move my car. He squeezed the cart through the wall and my car and smashes into my car. The whole car rocked. He scurried off as I got out of the car, to inspect t, not saying a word to the bellhop. He then yells across the lot that he did not hit into my car while I was inspecting it. I yelled back and said yes you did the whole car rocked. He then puffed up and stomped around, I asked him what he was doing he said he was trying to restrain himself from attacking me. I went and told the desk clerk and management. I told them that the guy hit my car, yelled at me across the lot and threatened me but they didnt care. This was an anniversary present for my wife, and an expensive hotel, I am very sorry I went to this hotel. Please, Please dont go here the service is horrible, I have never been treated so badly by a business in my life.

It is diffacult to find a hotel that is half way decent by Busch Gardens. I've stayed at Embassy Suites USF many times. It is a little pricey. But I like the free shuttle service to Busch gardens and the free made to order breakfast in the morning.
