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!!. I was not sure what to exspect with some of the reviews I had read but realized that most people on these sites doing the belly aching often go expecting the stars and moon and want to pay nothing to get it . If... more

In all honesty, I don't know where to start. There were elements of the hotel I enjoyed, yet in other respects, I was very uncomfortable. Apparently many changes have been made in this past year and this hotel went from the Doubletree to the Grand Suites. One excellent thing the Grand Suites did was include a continental breakfast, which was... more

I stayed during the NCAA basketball tournament. Overall this was a pleasant stay. Our room was clean and comfortable. I would agree that it's probably 2 1/2 star quality, not three star quality. 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

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

We chose this hotel because it was close to USF and about $30 lower than nearby hotels. I booked a no smoking room, which the hotel confirmed they had available rooms. On the night we arrived, we were given a no smoking room. Even though the room smelled like cigarrete smoke, we decided to stay in it since it was... more

we booked the Grand Suites Tampa by priceline. It said it was a 3-star but i don't think it was. The rooms were in need of a makeover for sure. They smelled musty and were dark. Dark carpet, dark curtains, dark bed spread. The bathroom as teeny tiny. You couldn't just walk in and close the door. You had to... more
