Homewood Suites by Hilton Tampa-Brandon

"A total dump. VERY outdated, only 1 light working in the parking lot, Digital Key doesn't work. There's a piece of wall missing in my room. Everything shows scratches of previous occupants, including the walls and even the curtains - they have oil stains on them. It's just plain horrible. I will NEVER stay here again."

"Probably one of the worse Hilton brand hotels I've stayed in. We had to stay here for a soccer tournament. Checked in, went to our room and it was awful so we called down to change it. No one answered. So we walked down and the front desk guy was sitting next to the phone chilling. We asked for 2 queens and were told there were none available. So I went on the app and showed the front desk guy I could book one right then for that night. He fumbled around and eventually found it (it was accessible but he should still not have been so adamant). This room is ok but pretty mediocre. It is noisy, both keys that we left in our room (so hadn't touched my phone or anything) deactivated (I had been using my digital key). We needed towels so called for some and no one answered. So we walked down and the front desk lady was sitting next to the phone chilling. Just a really poor hotel experience all round. The other Hiltons in the area are much nicer. Just stay at those. They are the same price."

"Elizabeth at the front desk was amazing! Very helpful and personable with the patience of a kindergarten teacher (as were all the front desk staff) as the weekend we were there, the hotel seemed full with lots of kids running around from morning until late at night. The location was perfect for the sporting event that we attended with the fields and dining close by. Downtown Tampa was also close. Our 2B, 2 BR suite was perfect for the four of us. We did have some trouble with 2 of the TVs (didn't try the 3rd) where some channels would show on one but not the other along with one of the TV's flashing on and off randomly. I tried disconnecting the cable line and reconnecting it on one of the TV's and that seemed to help a little. The sofa and chair could by updated or at the very least, have a very deep clean. They looked old & dated. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. Plenty of coffee, yogurt, banana's, muffins, etc. Not a fan of eggs, bacon, etc. but they had that too along with a few other things. Took a quick look in the pantry and everything in there seemed way overpriced and I didn't buy anything. They had a nice pool area, BBQ area with grills for the guests to use, tables with umbrellas and a half-court basketball hoop area. Overall, if we have to make another trip to Tampa for the same sporting event, we would stay there again."

"We booked one night here. When arriving most the parking lot lights were out and seemed very dark. We checked into our room and the smell of mold/mildew was there but could tell it was being covered up. The walls had water staining on them. The room overall felt just dirty. Skin was crawling just sitting on the couch. We turned around and left for a hotel just down the street. Would highly recommend other properties in the area before booking here."

"I'm not one to write reviews but I have to do this. I am deployed in Tampa and upon arriving at this hotel and seeing from the outside the condition of this hotel is very depressing. When I'm walking down the hallway I had a musty smell that I couldn't stand. When I got to the room also had the same smell, the silverware and plates were dirty, one of the lamps in the room didn't even work, the TV in the bedroom didn't turn on and on top of that the breakfast was horrible. I was supposed to stay until January but I couldn't last one more day and left in 2 days. To be honest this is the worst hotel ever. If I could give them 0 stars I would without hesitation."
