Chase Suite Hotel Tampa

“Overall, ok place to stay”

Check in was quick and simple. I loved how our room was right off the water. Unfortunately my room shower on the 1st floor was broken, I couldn’t turn the dial to all the way hot because it just kept turning.

Check in was quick and simple. I loved how our room was right off the water. Unfortunately my room shower on the 1st floor was broken, I couldn’t turn the dial to all the way hot because it just kept turning. Also when it rained really hard, rain came in through both room windows making the floors soaked. I had to lay towels under the window to keep the water from going all over my room. I had to learn the hard way about the windows. The tub floor was also, I’m assuming, cracked but they covered it with a tub pad. But I was able to feel the cracks through the pad. Breakfast was cancelled because of the storm so that was a bummer because we paid extra for breakfast. I would maybe reconsider staying here just because of the 2 room suite we got, couldn’t really find anything else like it within a decent price range.

“Not bad, but quite dated”

----------- PROS: ----------- (1) Decent enough for $97+tax. (2) The *smallest* room is still quite large, with a separate living area and a full kitchen. (3) Free full breakfast, pool. (4) Bathroom exhaust fan, a rarity even in many 4-star hotels. (5) Pretty close to the airport. ---------... more

----------- PROS: ----------- (1) Decent enough for $97+tax. (2) The *smallest* room is still quite large, with a separate living area and a full kitchen. (3) Free full breakfast, pool. (4) Bathroom exhaust fan, a rarity even in many 4-star hotels. (5) Pretty close to the airport. ----------- CONS: ----------- (1) Extremely dated. The appliances look to be 1970s vintage, I'm surprised they still work. Toilet is ancient 5 GPF (meaning pre-1992). (2) Narrowly averted problems at checkin. I booked on Hotwire, where it's cheaper if you let the property choose the bed type, and from experience I know that properties are usually happy to give you whatever kind of bed you want. But at check-in, I asked for a queen bed for me and my wife, not two separate twin beds, and the clerk said I'd have to call Hotwire (!) to get that sorted with them. Luckily a supervisor overheard the conversation and came running over and happily gave us the queen. After that there was some other issue where the clerk told me that what I wanted couldn't happen, and again the supervisor overhead and came over quickly and took care of it. If the supervisor hadn't been there, we would have had a lousy experience. (3) Couldn't get the tub faucet to budge, either from pushing or pulling. Called the front desk and she told me to push it, but it would not push in. I then tried pulling it again with a LOT of force, and it clunked open. Never in my life, operating hundreds of faucets, have I had that kind of experience. (4) The ceiling lights are so dim they're essentially useless.
