I love Embassy Suites. Always great or at least very good. This was the worst Embassy Suites I’ve ever stayed at! First room we got smelled moldy and musty. Next room was ok. Front desk was blah. Waited many minutes while they were working on their computer before being assisted to get room changed. No hot water in sinks and shower. A barely bearable luckwarm shower was what we got. Will look for somewhere else in Tampa next time.

Good sleep before busy day.
Anna checked us in quickly and made sure we knew the property, what time the complimentary drinks and snacks were and even helped us decide where to go to dinner . Dead battery in the smoke detector chirped as we walked into the room but housekeepers relayed to maintenance and it was fixed fast. Strange water restrictions kinda made the showering harder than usual but i think that was temporary? Slept very well with no problems or complaints.
