Overall it seemed like a nice hotel. This is NOT one I would be staying at again. Took us over 30 minutes to check in. Halfway after waiting a woman appeared in leopard leggings and a snoopy sweat shirt to try to help. She kept bouncing from computer to computer saying technical difficulties. Needless to say she couldn't get them to work. This should have been a warning. After finally getting checked in and ready for their free happy hour we headed to the elevator area. No suprise most were down and it took another 15 minutes to get on one. We then get to our room and by then happy hour is nearly over so I stayed behind with the kids and decided to maybe order pizza and see about relaxing in the pool. The pool was closed, I really shouldnt be shocked. We order our pizza and when my husband goes to collect our pizza in the lobby he was going to grab a few cold drinks from the shop open 24 hours since our drink were still warm. The shop is closed. Of course it is. So we decide ill just use the coffee cups in the room and get ice. The ice machine is right next to our room. It too is broken. After such a long evening already we decide to hit the bed for an early day the next day. I go to turn on my alarm on my phone which I had plugged into charge. Outlets dont work 5/6 of them. Room phones don't work to call down. Breakfast was cold and dining area not kept up with. Overall terrible experience. No manager on duty either.

Ok stay but….
The only issue was the Heat/AC thermostat did not work. Didn’t even light up or turn on. Called the desk and was put on hold until I finally hung up. Hot water was not really hot either.

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.
