I was a little frightened about staying here after reading some of the posted reviews. They are all wrong. This hotel is older but it is immaculate. The staff is very friendly....especially Audrey at the front desk. The rooms have just been remodeled. They are lovely. My tv in the bedroom wasn't working and I called the front desk. They... more

We recently stayed at the Grand Suites Tampa. We were in Tampa celebrating my hubby's birthday with a weekend at Busch Gardens. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. Yes, there was construction going on, but it wasn't really a factor in our stay. This hotel was only about 5 mins. from Busch and was very convient to many restaurants... more

This hotel is currently undergoing major renovations. The hot tub was closed and filled with green, stagnant water. The main entrance to our room area was blocked due to construction. They provide a shuttle to Busch Gardens - have to put your name in and reserve a time. We did that upon arrival & were told to be in the... more

My family and I spend 8 nights at the Grand Suites and had an amazing vacation!!.

Free internet in the lobby was a big plus. I didn't have my laptop with me and it was great to get online. They have a small... more

I too was a little afraid to book a stay at this hotel after reading some of the reviews. We found the hotel staff to be pleasant and professional. The room was clean and looked recently updated. The bed was extremely comfortable, as was the sofa sleeper. We enjoyed the pool area, and the shuttle to the parks was easily... more

We just returned from a 1 night stay and the accomadations were great! This is first hotel that I have stayed in that had a great shower head and thick bath towels!!! I picked this hotel for the location to Busch Gardens and that they had a shuttle availalbe every hour. I think the continental breakfast needs to be stocked... more

We chose this Hotel because of the package with tickets to Busch Gardens Tampa. The hotel is older but updated and clean. The pool area is beautiful and well maintained. The staff was friendly and professional. There was a shuttle offered every hour to Busch Gardens and all we had to do was call and they sent the van to... more
