Hilton HHonors - Embassy Suites Orlando AND Tampa

Looking for feedback on the BEST Embassy Suites in Orlando AND Tampa areas. I expect to be there next spring and would like comments on hotel, service, rooms, etc.

Thanks.

Stayed quite often at the ES Airport. Right off JFK & Westshore. Right next to Mall with easy access to all of TPA. Nice rooms...they were clean and neat (if only a little dated).

Staff was very pleasant. All rooms were on outer walls with huge atrium in center for restaurant and lobby/lounge area. No special Gold treatment to speak of...

Hope this helps...

My favorite Tampa-area HH property is the ES in North Tampa - near the University of South Florida. It is very clean and pretty new, and mostly populated with business travelers. The people are very nice and I have never had a problem during my stays there. Always a fairly quiet, peaceful place with the nice rooms you'd expect at a new Embassy Suites.

I stayed at the one by the airport once and found it to be a bit busier and noisier, but otherwise okay. More of what you'd expect from an older airport hotel. I didn't have any problems with my stay.

North Tampa worked for me location-wise, so I always gravitated to either the new Hampton or the ES up there.

No experience with ES in Orlando. As the Embassy Suites setup is very family-friendly hotel, I would expect a lot of kids at the Orlando properties.

The ES downtown Orlando is great! The staff are friendly, the rooms are large and clean, and they have a great happy hour, brekafast, and a restaurant on-site. The hotel is located downtown, so if you are planning on going to Disney, it may not be for you - it caters to business travelers, not tourist families with children.
