Hotels Near Target in Tampa

I stayed at this hotel to leave my car and fly to the Caribbean from Tampa Airport and on my return as well. I was stunned. It is by far the nicest Hampton Inn I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in hundreds!!! It is beautiful and the staff could not have been any friendlier or nicer or more helpful. The breakfast was the best as well. The shuttle was on time and nice and runs every half hour 24 hours a day which I had to have due to such an early flight. It was a wonderful Hampton experience!!! Thank you to all the staff!!! I will always stay there for all my flights out of Tampa Airport.

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.

Good Stuff: location, amenities, service, cleanliness Bad Stuff: pillows I visit Tampa occasionally for work and this is the first hotel I stayed in that I will try to return to. The location is excellent. There is plenty to do in the immediate vicinity. There is easy access to the trolley service. You are close enough to walk downtown or to Ybor. The Selmon Greenway is across the street too - dumps off at the Riverwalk, so it’s great for a run. I was pleased with the amenities. The on site gym is one of the nicer hotel gyms I have been in. The pool looks great - definitely high-end for my normal level of hotel. There is also nice space to eat and drink either around the pool, in the lobby, or out front. I had nothing but positive engagements with the hotel staff. Everybody was friendly and polite. My only issue was it could be hard to get definitive answers from the front desk - lots of “probably,” “I think so,” etc. No issues with cleanliness. It’s not immaculate, but for this level of hotel, it was one of the better kept I have stayed in. Pillows - awful. They squish down to about the thickness of a piece of cardboard. And then they are so long that you can’t really fold them up under themselves well to make it better. The pillows caused me a few nights of problematic sleep.

As an ex worker of one of the hotels from the Wyndham corporate, This hotel proves you the opposite of what professionalism and good customer service is.. My review from my stay on the second week of June has been erased. I am not going to repeat that uncomfortable moment we had when the manager called my cell phone to ask me for payment for 1 extra night when the night before we already had walked to the front desk and tried to pay at the counter for the next day. My husband was told that there was no need to pay or sign any document since we already had a credit card authorization form on file and a certain rate already accepted by me. The next day the manager's excuse was that there was a misscomunication and by that day my form was already expired. Long story short, between trying to call Wyndham corporate an repeating over and over by phone the story and asking them to send me their email so I can send all the documentation and proves and also getting an email from the manager saying that my review was going to affect his business, the corporate resolution was to give me 3,000 reward point and if I wanted something else I needed to call the manager of the property again. Thanks for being so professional..........Not.

Room keys don’t work. No hot water. Room not cleaned. And attitude to boot. My stay began pleasantly but that changed drastically, quickly. My 4th floor room key constantly failed - requiring several round trips up and down the elevator to a condescending and contentious staff member. Turns out the lock was malfunctioning (I keep keys far from anything that might deprogram them) Her unprofessionalism and eventual, reluctant choice to troubleshoot was not well received by me, plainly obvious by my frustrated demeanor. Nonetheless, to “compensate” for the inconvenience, I was advised by the same customer service-less staffer that I could be moved to a first floor room; a desirable, more convenient option affording me quick in and out access while I’m here on business. But alas, and coincidentally? The room to which the contentious and condescending employee referred me was without hot water for my 5am December morning shower. Furthermore, upon my 1pm return to my upgraded accommodation I entered into a space completely uncleaned. I feel like I’m being pranked at this point. Brining my concerns to a different staff member reveled that poor customer service is endemic at this particular facility. Her short responses to my inquiry about when my room might be cleaned and mid conversation escape to a back office as I spoke, convinced me I have a duty to inform other weary travelers that might unfortunately happen upon this place.

This hotel has been lived twice and feels like home. The hotel experience is satisfactory and the service attitude is good. Come back next time. Thanks for the good hotel recommended by Ctrip.com, I believe the brand of Ctrip.com is super awesome👍

I don't know if it is because the first floor, or Florida is too humid, anyway, there is a musty smell when entering the door. The room is quite big and the facilities are a bit old. The front desk is a bit indifferent compared to other hotels. Breakfast is similar, classic American. Stayed for two nights and slept the worst since coming to the United States. It's not noisy around, but the room doesn't feel very comfortable. There is a swimming pool, I haven't used it. I don't know how the score came from.

Very close to the airport, pay special attention to the traffic jam when driving nearby The room is average, the parking fee is 20 dollars a night under the spit - many nearby are free parking and 10 dollars a night (just in a hotel) The air conditioner was broken. In the middle of the night, the air conditioner cover was turned over and broken. There has been no one for phone repairs. No one has repaired it for three days. Breakfast is OK, not bad. Toilet and hotel layout is worth complaining The paper towels are dirty and the bathroom is all water. No floor drain - natural air drying. That's right. The shower is broken.

Booking in advance is guaranteed, the stay experience is acceptable
