Negative Reviews
negative:
There are smoking rooms here
This hotel offers both non-smoking and smoking rooms which is quite evident, because when you step over the threshold of a room that has housed smokers in the past, the acrid, stale smell of second-hand smoke is hard to miss. If this is a problem for you, be sure to state your preference for a non-smoking room upon booking, and then again at check-in.
negative:
The studios are small
The studios at Homewood Suites by Hilton Tampa Airport-Westshore are pretty small which is fine if you're traveling alone. But if that is not the case or you have a lot of luggage in tow, or need extra room to maneuver, it's probably best to upgrade to a one-bedroom suite.
negative:
Housekeeping is hit or miss
Sometimes the housekeeping at this hotel is OK but sometimes it really misses the mark. Carpeting that needs better vacuuming, stained linens, trash left behind and hairs left in places they shouldn't be can detract from your stay.
