Hotel berhampiran Macy's Backstage, Tampa

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.

環境不錯哦

Exelente

Hotel ini agak membingungkan untuk masuk ke tempat parkir yang bijak. Kemudahannya berpatutan. Biliknya bersih. Satu kelemahan yang dapat saya sebutkan, adalah hotel ini terletak betul-betul di landasan kereta api. Anda boleh mendengar kereta api berjalan sepanjang malam. Keretapi itu menabrak tanduk jadi bersiaplah jika anda berencana untuk tinggal di sini, untuk mendengar kereta api. Kelemahan kedua ialah termostat di dalam bilik. Ya termostat. Kenapa? Yang ada di bilik kami secara harfiah menerangi seluruh ruangan. Terang seperti api biru. Saya pasti seperti kebanyakan orang dewasa suka tidur dalam kegelapan. Tidak, ini benar-benar bersinar terang sehingga anda dapat membaca buku dengan cahaya. Saya akan mengesyorkan meredupnya untuk pelanggan sebelum memasuki bilik. Oh, kami juga mempunyai beberapa pengisi suara di bilik kami di sebelah. Harus memanggil ke tingkat bawah untuk memberitahu mereka bahawa sudah tiba masanya untuk berehat. Hotel ini terletak di bandar pesta. Oleh itu andai anda suka berpesta, itu bagus untuk anda.

Excellent service, great breakfast, The guys in the kitchen have everything sparkling, The comfortable and clean rooms, front desk service always with a smile, we loved that, thank you guys. Nina is the best. We will be back soon!!!!

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.

We were in Sept,26 during Hurricane IAN and thanks to the management and all its staff we spent a night at the hotel with all the attention we needed, especially the care and attention of the manager, Brenda who was very friendly and attentive, her employees attentive and helpful. In all the time that I have lived in Tampa I had not been in that hotel but if I needed it or recommended it that is A + because of the situation of this emergency but because i felt at home and without counting the breakfast that in any case A, hotel i had expected to find ,wao that was amazing ,in other hotels where i pay more only give you an orange and coffee , lol in this i felt like in ihop and more ,i congradulate you and every time you need or have to recomend them this will be the hotel ,you will choose,thanks to all in special brenda the manager her very attentive and helpfulmanager a pleasure . , LUIS A.

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!
