Residence Inn Tampa Sabal Park/Brandon

Stayed here for 20 days during the Florida state fair. The first day was the best. The bed was nice, everything was neat and clean, and I got a random call to my room phone. Turned out to be the staff giving our team of people a gift at the front desk for choosing to stay there this year! Every breakfast was good and had plenty of options, including many different diets and even local produce and fruit. I locked myself out of my room twice during my stay, and the staff were quick to help me get another card. The kitchen included a dishwasher, full-size fridge, garbage disposal, double-eyed flat top, full set of all kinds of dishes, utensils, pots, and pans. The dining table was big enough for two and had a cozy light just above. The couch was nice to relax on and enjoy the view and some television. The bathroom and breezeway were very spacey and bright. The glass doors to the shower were a little bit of a fright as I'm typically very clumsy. I didn't break it, at least. Back to the externals, the hallways were always clean and clear aside from some janitor carts and luggage racks. Nothing unusual. Stairs in two convenient spots, as well as an elevator that was fairly quick. The lobby and common area included a lounging table with a tv, many tables and chairs for breakfast in the morning, and a fireplace that was actually quite warm in the cool hotel air. Outside hosted an open courtyard and a fireplace area to relax around until 10pm. Parking was way too easy as there were enough parking spots to have 2 per room, at minimum. Located just off the main highway, less than a 5-minute drive from the fairgrounds, and very easily accessible. I recommend staying here anytime you plan on spending more than a few days in this area.

This place waa funky. I cleaned my entire room myself. At the same time praying that the AC doesn't come on. It smells of old curry. I think housekeeping is using the same rag on everything. This place is old and need of renovation. It does have a kitchenette. Bed sleeps well if you can sleep. The smell of someone smoking is in the air now. You only want to be here overnight, if that. You can hear every step someone makes. Staff is extremely pleasant. Rates are ok, but they need to invest in some industrial cleaning equipment. For now they need baking soda for the carpets, and vinegar for the sinks. Housekeeping can only do so much. I can't wait until morning comes.

Had a fantastic 5-night stay! The location was perfect, and the staff was incredibly friendly—special shout-out to Cynthia at the front desk for her exceptional service. The team was attentive to all my needs, making my experience even better. Will definitely stay again!

We had a great stay. Cleanest, most comfortable room we've had in years. All employees we spoke to were courteous, friendly and helpful. Good location convenient to restaurants, shopping, event venue.
