Hotels near USF Health Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute, Tampa

This hotel is an absolute Gem! We have tons of family in the Tampa area and this hotel is our absolute #1 choice anytime we visit. It’s literally located a skip and a hop off the Fletcher exit exactly where we need to be. The hotel is located near almost every major attraction in the area including the University of South Florida and the Busch Gardens theme parks!! The cleanliness of this property is superior and the rooms are extremely spacious while traveling with our kids. The staff at this hotel are extremely courteous and always there to make our stay pleasant. Sheea Hicks went above and beyond to acknowledge our Titanium Elite status and upgraded our suite. Sheea always makes sure to check in with us throughout the stay and make sure it’s as pleasant as possible. If you are coming to stay in the Tampa area don’t think twice about the Courtyard on Fletcher.

We stayed here one night before heading out of Tampa on a cruise. The location was perfect & the area was safe & very clean. Lots of options for food & shopping. Perfect size suite for our family of 4. Loved the separate shower room & bathroom so we could get ready for the day quickly! Breakfast buffet was really good with lots of options for everyone & the team working were very friendly & helpful.

We stayed Friday night before our cruise. We took a Lyft from airport, and arrived during rush hour. Many people were checking in, for one night before their cruise. The ladies working the front desk were super friendly and helpful, told us everything we needed to know. They put us on the list for the shuttle to the cruise port for the next AM. The room was very nice, and the bed was WONDERUL! My daughter and I agreed. AC worked well in the room. We walked a block to a restaurant for dinner. We went down for the included breakfast the next AM. It had everything you could want. The ladies working it were so very nice. Then we took the shuttle to the port. The driver was very friendly and we arrived in plenty of time. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

This hotel has not been renovated in years and it does not have double pane glass windows. The rooms that face the street sound like you are sleeping on the highway. I asked to move and the hotel is full; I get that... but there is no way a hotel should be selling rooms that are this noisy. They have a little white noise machine that does nothing to block the noise of sirens and yahoos racing down the street. Avoid unless you can get a courtyard facing room. Also...I'm in a room with two queen beds and one of them was clearly not changed after the last guest was here. See photo... The front desk woman Anita was super nice, but one of the men working the front could not have cared less when I mentioned that the noise was unacceptable.

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.

Wonderful experience from start to finish! Upon arrival Cristian helped my husband park our large truck—narrow entrance so it was challenging. All the staff we interacted with was stellar! The walk to Amelie Arena was quick and painless. Overall a great stay! 10/20 - 10/21.

The hotel location can also be next to a small river and then downtown. Although it is the city center but there is nothing to eat and no shopping malls, but the hotel is nice. It is convenient to visit the aquarium and busch garden if you want to shop or recommend Hotels near the airport have parking and takeaway can be delivered upstairs

There are so many white people coming to the disco. There is no independent elevator for the guests. The room is a premium version for the whole family

I always enjoy my stays at the Embassy Suites! The room was remarkably clean, everything worked properly, the comfort level was great & this location was close to the majority of places I wanted to visit. The only small downside was that the amenities that I enjoy the most were unavailable due to the pandemic; namely, the Breakfast & Cocktail Hour. Overall, I’d still say it was a great stay!

My visit was perfect from the initial ingress, housekeeping (she is excellent), concierge, front desk staff, food services - restaurants and room service - janitorial staff keeps that place spotless. Bartenders, waiters everyone. Food was delicious, bed was comfortable and everyone was kind. Excellent location near the arena and convention center. First visit to Tampa and the JW added to a memorable experience
