Hotels Near Citi Trends in Tampa

The hotel is a little confusing to get into as far as parking wise. Amenities are fair. The room was clean. One drawback I can mention, is the hotel is located right on the train tracks. You can hear the train running all throughout the night. The train runs the horn so be prepared if you plan on staying here, to hear the train. A second drawback was the thermostat in the room. Yes the thermostat. Why? The one in our room literally illuminated the entire room. It was as bright as a blue fire. I am sure like many of us adults like to sleep in the dark. No this literally was shining so bright you could read a book by the light. I would recommend to dim them for the customers prior to entering the room. Oh we also had some noisemakers in our room next door. Had to call downstairs to let them know that it was time for rest. This hotel is located in a party town. So assuming you like to party, it would be good for you.

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.

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 stayed for the first time, hilton name is good, it really did not disappoint, but the price can be more perfect if you can nice. Only stayed for two nights, because the price of the hotel behind it, too much can only change places. Warm sharing: breakfast should be at your own expense, 15 US dollars, the hotel can park for free, the hotel location is good, there is free bus at the airport, the hotel environment is very good, the room is very comfortable, recommended

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.

The hotel is has some nice modern features, e.g. recessed lighting in the hallways and the guest rooms, and the hotel is not as dated as most of the hotels near the university. I also like the convenient location with respect to the restaurants down the street...Olive Garden, Long Horn. The surroundings are rustic and the location seems kind of safe. The clientele seemed nice. The front staff is variable in its quality. Even though this hotel is kind of far where I do business from in Tampa, the positive aspects of the hotel, and the newer design of the rooms and modern bathrooms make it worthwhile, and I expect to stay here again.

We loved staying at this Doubletree beach resort, my sister and her husband booked one room and my self , husband & my daughter stayed in another. We stayed in a 2 Queen Gulf View room on the 4th floor and the view of the beach was beautiful! The resort has been recently renovated and the rooms were very spacious with a comfortable chair. The beds were comfortable & the bathroom was very clean and the floor is brand new. The room also has a fridge, a microwave, a safe and a coffee maker, the shower has shampoo and conditioner, and body wash. The entire staff was happy to help us with any questions or if we needed anything. The whole staff, the hotel were . There is a bar inside & a tiki bar outside. You can rent lounge chairs with an umbrella from early morning until 5 PM. Swimming pool is beautiful and great to cool off after sitting on the hot beach. The restaurant Coconut Charlie’s had an excellent choice of entrées that were reasonably priced and the portions were great. We were there for three nights and we ate in every night. The wait staff was top notch. They even have a Starbucks in the lobby. We will definitely be visiting the Doubletree at North Redington Beach again soon. We were extremely pleased!
