Hotel berhampiran Phoenix Studio & Gott Glass Gallery, Tampa

Hotel Haya is an an amazing hotel located in he heart of Tampa’s Ybor City Historic and Entertainment District just minutes and blocks from downtown and the best airport in the world. The coffee shop has the best café con leche of any place in Tampa, the Flor Fina restaurant has a wonderful menu that serves the best lunch and dinner in Tampa. And you cannot meet a friendlier and accommodating staff from the valet to the front desk to the waiters and waitresses and bartenders and even the people who clean your rooms!

Exelente

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.

Hilton Tampa Westshore Airport about a 4-Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, check-in was quick and easy, received extra towels requested prior to arrival, management (Aileen, Pablo and Liz) checked in daily made me feel like valued Gold Member. Perfect location to International Plaza, short drive to Macdill/Convention Center, Bed comfortable, Bar Lobby friendly bartenders- drinks a little pricey but hotel normal like the old fashion ($18) and parmersian chicken wings were really cooked to order , LG TV picture line distortion may need replacing/upgrading at least in my room 810, no microwave in room, bathroom a little dated with ceiling peeling especially above shower but room decor was nice and room was clean so bathroom needs work. Normally don’t have cleaning during stay just towel replacement and trash disposal but hard to find large trash dispensers on floor and/or outside non existent for easy trash removal, A/C in room had to keep temp low at 66 to keep room at pleasant temp for us as we visited in July may need checking normally we set temp at other locations around 69-70. Overall enjoyed our stay. would stay again Nice location and friendly employers.

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

I stayed here for 3 nights. Room was very clean. Breakfast was tasty. Pool was lovely. Air conditioner was cool. But better than all that, was the exceptional staff. They were all friendly and helpful, but special mention to the tall dude that works evenings, and the breakfast staff that greet you with the warmest ”good morning” you could ever imagine!! Lady with the braids...you are AMAZING!!! I hope you know that...you make my day!

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!
