Hotel in zona Mission Moonbase, Tampa

We stayed Friday night before our cruise. We took a Lyft from airport, and arrived during rush hour. Many people were checking in, for one night before their cruise. The ladies working the front desk were super friendly and helpful, told us everything we needed to know. They put us on the list for the shuttle to the cruise port for the next AM. The room was very nice, and the bed was WONDERUL! My daughter and I agreed. AC worked well in the room. We walked a block to a restaurant for dinner. We went down for the included breakfast the next AM. It had everything you could want. The ladies working it were so very nice. Then we took the shuttle to the port. The driver was very friendly and we arrived in plenty of time. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

The staff at Le Meridian could not have been better or nicer! They were incredibly friendly and helpful….a big shout out to LaLithia at the front desk who was awesome and helped us upon check-in. The glass of complimentary sparkling wine upon check-in is a nice touch. The complimentary coffee in the lobby from 6 am until noon is also a nice and appreciated touch. Our room was very spacious and very clean. I am giving my review a 4 start vs 5 star because of the room decor and, quite frankly, the hotel (hallway decor) as well. Whoever was in charge of interior design should be fired! Our room was incredibly depressing because EVERY wall except the entry hall was painted a DARK gray. The carpet (new at least) was also a DARK gray. The bathroom was ….guess what….a DARK gray. Because the hotel is a converted old court house, the ceilings are high and made of cement so there is no recessed lighting (understandable). BUT, there wasn’t even a floor lamp in our room. It was SO DARK and DEPRESSING. Needless to say, we felt we were living in a CAVE. When you stay at an upscale hotel for a getaway or mini vacation, you expect to feel happy and uplifted. The decor did just the opposite. In addition, our room was lacking ANY seating area other than the bed and a desk chair (at bar height to match the bar height desk). It was CLEARLY MISSING a couple of comfortable occasional chairs. We called the front desk as soon as we walked into our room and requested a couple of chairs. They brought us 2 stacking chairs. I guess it was the best they could do under the circumstances but they certainly weren’t comfortable chairs that one would want to relax in. Also, the TV was very small given the size of the room and the distance from the bed to the TV. As for my reference to the hotel decor, and specifically the hallways, Marriott fell so far short in making this hotel what it COULD be given its unique history and architecture. When you walk down the hallways the bottom half of the walls have old marble (a nice touch and vestigial feature of the court house) BUT the top half of every wall is BARE. It is just COLD and lacks ANY sign of nice decor. Why wouldn’t they line these hallways with old, framed photos of court houses, court rooms, judges, etc???? Or old photos of Tampa? Or have a local artist paint murals on these walls? Ironically, the hotel gives its guests free passes to the Tampa Art Museum but whoever designed the interior space didn’t bother to include ANY artwork in the hallways. And the “artwork” in our room consisted of a few ugly, random cheaply framed posters. You might think that I am overly critical….after all, as I said, the staff was lovely and responsive and our room was spacious, quiet and clean. BUT, because our room was just so DARK and DREARY and DEPRESSING we wanted to minimize the time we spent at this hotel.

L'ambiente è buono

Mi piacciono sempre i miei soggiorni all'Embassy Suites! La camera era straordinariamente pulita, tutto funzionava correttamente, il livello di comfort era eccezionale e questa posizione era vicina alla maggior parte dei posti che volevo visitare. L'unico piccolo inconveniente era che i servizi che mi piacevano di più non erano disponibili a causa della pandemia; vale a dire, la colazione e l'ora del cocktail. Nel complesso, direi comunque che è stato un ottimo soggiorno!

La struttura è immersa in una tranquilla zona verde, circondata di laghetti, dotata di un ampio e comodo parcheggio gratuito e si presenta molto accogliente, anche nella reception hall. Si trova a breve distanza da centri commerciali e ristoranti e a circa 20 minuti in auto da Tampa Downtown. La piscina esterna è molto rilassante e confortevole, immersa nel verde e accanto ad un piccolo laghetto. La camera è molto pulita, confortevole e accessorriata, abbastanza spaziosa, nella versione con due queen bed, anche per una famiglia con due figli adolescenti. La colazione è di buona qualità e con un'ampia scelta, per la quale si fa apprezzare. Ottimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo. La struttura mi ha soddisfatto pienamente, oltre le attese, ed è altamente consigliata. Se proprio posso dare un piccolo consiglio, poichè potrebbe essere gradevole rilassarsi la sera, magari leggendo un libro, sui tavoli messi a disposizione nelle vicinanze del laghetto, sarebbe utile prevedere qualche sistema repellente per le zanzare, che non sono numerose, ma che comunque arrecano un po' di fastidio.

A little dated but very clean. Helpful staff are very nice and carparking was included in the price.

The hotel is has some nice modern features, e.g. recessed lighting in the hallways and the guest rooms, and the hotel is not as dated as most of the hotels near the university. I also like the convenient location with respect to the restaurants down the street...Olive Garden, Long Horn. The surroundings are rustic and the location seems kind of safe. The clientele seemed nice. The front staff is variable in its quality. Even though this hotel is kind of far where I do business from in Tampa, the positive aspects of the hotel, and the newer design of the rooms and modern bathrooms make it worthwhile, and I expect to stay here again.

Il personale del motel era sempre amichevole con mia moglie e io. Il motel è un po' più vecchio ma lo mantengono pulito e confortevole. Piscina confortevole. Godendo il servizio di navetta all'aeroporto. Molti buoni posti per mangiare intorno, così come tre buone grossiere. Non è fantastico, ma è sicuro, pulito e confortevole.

We loved staying at this Doubletree beach resort, my sister and her husband booked one room and my self , husband & my daughter stayed in another. We stayed in a 2 Queen Gulf View room on the 4th floor and the view of the beach was beautiful! The resort has been recently renovated and the rooms were very spacious with a comfortable chair. The beds were comfortable & the bathroom was very clean and the floor is brand new. The room also has a fridge, a microwave, a safe and a coffee maker, the shower has shampoo and conditioner, and body wash. The entire staff was happy to help us with any questions or if we needed anything. The whole staff, the hotel were . There is a bar inside & a tiki bar outside. You can rent lounge chairs with an umbrella from early morning until 5 PM. Swimming pool is beautiful and great to cool off after sitting on the hot beach. The restaurant Coconut Charlie’s had an excellent choice of entrées that were reasonably priced and the portions were great. We were there for three nights and we ate in every night. The wait staff was top notch. They even have a Starbucks in the lobby. We will definitely be visiting the Doubletree at North Redington Beach again soon. We were extremely pleased!
