Hotels Near Rainbow Kids in Tampa

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.

Really handy for TPA having arrived from the UK. Rooms are a decent size, however the sofa bed was not made up when we went to our room. Disappointingly when we went down to reception to mention this we were told that we would have to make the bed up ourselves. Never in all of our travels have we ever been told such a rediculous thing. We we challenged this again, the reception staff finally relented and sent housekeeping to make up the bed.

Me & my sisters had awesome stay at Quality inn at 1020 S Dale Mabry Hwy in Tampa,FL 33629 location.From check in to check out & our quick turnaround after missing our flight. They even sent the shuttle to pick us up from the airport so we didn’t have to re-rent a car. Not upset at us when finding out we were at an airport they didn’t service. At my sisters request gave us our same room back greeted us with smiles & snack bags upon our re-arrival. Thank you Susan & your wonderful staff customer service at its finest 😊

Staff were really friendly and room was clean. Would stay here again

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.

I stayed here for 3 nights. Room was very clean. Breakfast was tasty. Pool was lovely. Air conditioner was cool. But better than all that, was the exceptional staff. They were all friendly and helpful, but special mention to the tall dude that works evenings, and the breakfast staff that greet you with the warmest ”good morning” you could ever imagine!! Lady with the braids...you are AMAZING!!! I hope you know that...you make my day!

This hotel has been lived twice and feels like home. The hotel experience is satisfactory and the service attitude is good. Come back next time. Thanks for the good hotel recommended by Ctrip.com, I believe the brand of Ctrip.com is super awesome👍

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!
