Tampa Stadium Hotel

Ventajas: Staff was very nice

Desventajas: Didn't like the breakfast

Not where I would normally stay

Ventajas: I was happy with the location It was easy to get a room Not fancy but decent value for the money and fairly clean.

Desventajas: It had a mildew type smell when you first walked in the room, but when you were in there for awhile you didn't notice it. I was hoping that the continental breakfast would have been a little better, since that is one of the reasons I choose that location.

Ventajas: Nothing

Desventajas: It's not even a holiday inn express. It's dirty and smelly. The front desk people are not friendly. Worse trip ever

Hotel Management/ Staff

Ventajas: I love the fact that the hotel is a 15 min walk from the festival that was held this past weekend. My girlfriend and I have been going to sunset music festival for three years now. And every year we have stayed at your hotel. The pool area and the gazebo are a beautiful area to spend the mornings.

Desventajas: Well this year was the worst visit we have had. To begin with on our first day both elevators where broken. Then we get to our room and the door is already open, we checked into a room that wasn't complete. Bed wasn't made and our towels weren't in the bath room, I tried to ask a room attendant but nobody spoke English, so I asked the manger for our towels and bed to be completed. Then I went to the ice machine on my floor (1st) two other individuals where trying to get ice and the machine wasn't working. So we went to the desk and asked about ice, The manager told us floor 1 and 4 had ice. We told her that floor 1 was out. So now I have to hike up four flights of stairs to get my ice. Well sure enough that ice machine wasn't dispensing ice, OK now I have to go to the gas station to buy ice. Which is the first time ever. I have never stayed in a hotel that didn't have ice!!!! Well then the. Time came for us to go to the festival. We left and came back around 1230am, this festival had over 50,000 people, which to my understanding is is fairly huge show. Last year the manager on duty let us use the pool side as long as we had kept the noise down at time we did get a little bit loud and she would remind us. This year your manager and security personal were so rude to all of us. I understand that pool hours and rules. But when a bunch of young couples help sell almost every room in your hotel, there should be a middle ground. The security guard was trying to tell us that we couldnt be out of our rooms and roaming. I'm sorry but I am a father who is taking a weekend away and your telling me I have to be in my ROOM!! No way josè, I was so disappointed, we ended leaving our hotel and went to the Marriott behind the stadium, where a couple of friends where staying. The hotel was packed with people from sunset, we where allowed to hangout with out being bothered. Come to find out there hotel has room service and was over a hundred dollars cheaper than our. We get back to the hotel around 630am for breakfast. The pancake machine was not working, there was no cranberry juice and the 2% milk was all slimy. Being a sous chef of a local restaurant that was completely disappointing. This weekend stay at the holiday inn was a disaster. Next year for our festival we will be looking for a other hotel and consider other options. I hope someone important reads this.
