Hotel is in a very convenient location - easily accessible to Tampa attractions yet only 10 minutes to the airport (but you do not feel like you are staying at an airport property). Suites are large, very clean - two large big screens, large living room area. Good service, plenty of complimentary parking, and hotel is right on the water (not ocean for swimming, but great views of the bay). Good deal!

GM-Mike Rose-personally accommodated our very early check-in.
The upgraded Orlando Suite was spacious and perfect.
Both lunch and breakfast at the Galerie were delicious and served by a very friendly staff. The waterfront pool area is a great place to watch dolphins and stingrays splash through the canal. For a property being so conveniently located to a major airport you get the feel of a peaceful resort. Would highly recommend this hotel and would not hesitate to stay again if traveling back to the Tampa area.
p.s. Can't forget the delicious warm chocolate chip cookies!

Can't praise this hotel enough, warm cookies on arrival, huge suite with gorgeous view of gulf inlets. Great pool area and the hotel restaurant serves good food, try the cajun prawn skewers.
Typical Hilton pillows, who can forget them? All the staff extremely friendly and chatty, including the courtesy coach drivers.
This is how all hotels should be run.

Stayed for buisness, brought wife and made a long weekend out of it. The elevators STILL had issues, one kept breaking down. The rooms were clean, every room has it's own AC, which was pretty loud. The pool is small for a hotel this size but it was not too crowded at any time. The pool area overlooks a bay ... we saw a group of dolphins swim by. Free towels which were all over the place on the weekend. The rooms have nice furniture, a very soft bed, but shows some wear and tear. The bathroom tub is rusted, the towel rack was loose. The wifi should be free; it was not very strong and pretty slow compared to other hotels. There are 4 good places to eat pretty close by, Clearwater Beach is 20 minutes west, and the airport is close by. All in all a good value, I wold stay there again.

I was moved here by HHonors after leaving the Westshore Embassy-see my other review. This property is in much better shape for less money and they have completed a recent renovation as well. More bang for the buck. The rooms are huge and well appointed for work or leisure. Great bay view of the sunset. Great location if you have access to a car to get around the area. The staff was attentive and eager to help.
I had breakfast both mornings in the restaurant. The first day was iffy and mentioned it to the restaurant manager in passing on the second morning and complimented him on the improvement, he explained it he was off the day before and apologized for the inconsistency. Will use this hotel first for any future stays in the area. Hats off to a job will done!
