Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Tampa Brandon

Atención

All good.

Elevator certificate expired in 2024. Brown substance at the bottom of the pool. When we arrived, the front desk was at the hotel across the parking lot because fairfield ran out of ice. The staff apparently work at both hotels?! There seemed to be enough staff, just not cross trained to do more than one thing. Example, we had 3 staff check in with us at the front desk letting us know the frknt desk attendant was across the parking lot. Yet no one else could check us in. We arrived at check in time, yet our room was not ready. Rather than with two kids, I offered to take any available room. We got a slightly upgraded room, but I also felt like we earned it at that point. There needs to be someone managing everyone working there, delegating tasks, and cleaning throughout the day. There is one elevator that services the entire hotel, it was dirty and didnt feel safe. Seems like the last time someone out money into the place was 2010-2015, judging on the decor and condition of furnishings. But, you get what you pay for, this place was inexpensive and good enough for our one night stay in Tampa. However, get your elevator inspected, certificate to be valid for the correct year, and get your pool cleaned, besides breakfast, it is your best amenity.

The hotel is basic, cleaning staff are not honest. I left a bag there and call for it the minute I remember. The front desk told me they didn’t see it in loss and found. Overall the experience was okay!!

My room on the third floor had Tiny white bugs crawling in the wood fixtures! (I have video) I grabbed my bags and went to the front desk immediately. The lady was very nice and apologetic, she stated that she couldn't issue a refund due to me booking through a third party (expedia) and offered to switch my room to the first floor. I asked her to come with me and grab cleaning supplies and gloves because she was gonna have to check for bugs, spray and wipe down. I DONT DO BUGS!!!! the room was fine no bugs from that point BUT it was a very unsettling feeling. I was ready to go! They put on hold on your card for incidentals, then the hold is released after you "check out" it's been almost a week since check out and the transaction is still pending. Overall not a good experience for me.

The hotel was nice. Close to everything we wanted to do. The shower sucked. Barely enough pressure to get the soap off. Room stayed cool. Breakfast was good

We liked the pool. It was outdoors but the weather cooperated. The staff is super accommodating. The service desk staff was very accommodating with extending reservations and answering questions. I had the pleasure of mostly dealing with Hope. The bed was comfortable. Food was average fare found in all the free hotel breakfasts.

Overall it was very satisfactory. I do wonder how often the rugs in the rooms are cleaned, though. Biggest point of dissatisfaction was the lighting in the room. It is very dim. Otherwise, worth staying again.

I didn't like the fact that there wasn't a microwave in my room. There's a microwave in the lobby but it's not really convenient.
