DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Airport - Westshore

early check-in

design was chaotic and confusing, no breakfast

This booking agency never made my reservation! Hot

It was a nice facility. Staff were friendly. Pool was nice.

Staff were very poorly trained, almost every step of the way things were done poorly or incorrectly. They didn't have my reservation which was made through this booking agency so we were told we'd have to find another hotel with out kids. No apology. Staff were leaving with piles of hotel cookies for themselves as we just sat there with no place to stay for the night. The hotel blamed the booking agency and said they do this often, I asked why the hotel chooses to work them if they often leave their guests with no room for the night. Obviously the booking agency sells their unsold rooms and this works out for the hotel and they don't care that it sometimes leaves the customer with no place to stay. Finally we asked for a second manager and she was somehow able to get us a room at this sold-out hotel and the first manager then appeared with some cookies for the kids. Room service never brought the drinks we ordered and paid for, the cot didn't have a sheet, the bathroom sink was leaking from a pipe beneath it and the phone lines to the front desk were constantly busy when I tried to tell them about these things. Room service trays were left outside rooms for 12 hours at a time as cleaning staff walked right by, kind of gross to look at. The hotel double billed me for the room I had already paid for through kayak. They billed the credit card that they told me was just for "incidentals."The staff here really need some training in customer service and basic hotel management. One of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. This hotel is very damaging to the Hilton brand.

Location and available transportation to airport

Stayed at this hotel due to early international flight out the next morning was assigned a room as close to the interstate highway as possible. Needless to say we didn't sleep all night. We were told the hotel was only at 70% occupancy so don't understand why we were given such s terrible room other than booking with Kyak rather than Hilton direct.

right by freeway, no mention of that anywhere. VERY LOUD FREEWAY. they gave us earplugs ... its just kindle a crappy chain hotel. yuk.

One night trip

Took my family to Busch gardens for the day, when we checked in we had not eaten and we got room service, the food was horrible, the fries were cold and the kids chicken tenders were burned. The room was old and outdated and had a very week wifi signal. Overall I paid 267 dollars for this one night, when I really should only have paid at the most 150.

Old and outdated rooms.

I liked the sports bar in the hotel lobby.

The rooms were way old and outdated. There was furniture missing from my room and when I asked about it, all they said was to wait until next year and I wouldn't be able to recognize the hotel after its renovation. I had no where to sit except my bed.

the staff at the players club bar

THE ENTIRE HOTEL. THE WHOLE PLACE WAS OLD AND FALLNG APART.
