Thank you for Ms Rosa - best breakfast ever
Pros:

Rosa at Embassy Suites Tampa Convention Center is truly the heart of the breakfast experience and a standout example of what exceptional hospitality looks like. From the moment you approach her station, her warmth and enthusiasm are undeniable—she doesn’t just serve food, she creates a memorable experience.

Her cooked-to-order omelettes are absolute perfection every single time—fluffy, flavorful, and made exactly how you like them. And the grits? I had to stop and ask how they were even possible—they were that good. It’s rare to find food prepared with such care and consistency, especially in a busy hotel setting.

What really sets Rosa apart is how she connects with guests. She is kind, attentive, and incredibly proactive, always making sure your needs are met before you even have to ask. She takes the time to engage, remember preferences, and make you feel seen, which elevates the entire stay.

Honestly, Rosa is a major reason I chose this property—and she’s the reason I will continue to come back. She makes a genuine difference by delivering exceptional guest experiences every morning. I’m truly grateful she’s there, setting the standard and elevating every stay she touches.

We will absolutely stay here again.

The suite we stayed in was fantastic. Roomy and comfortable. The included breakfast was huge! Delicious and more than you could ask for. The location of the hotel is perfect. Next door to the Benchmark arena and tons of restaurants and stores are walkable.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything met and exceeded our expectations.

Kind, happy and accommodating
Pros:

This hotel is one of my favorites. They are kind and friendly and go our od their way to make your day easier and better. Steve, who runs breakfast, is very accommodating and kind. He opened up breakfast early for us so we could eat before our conference on the weekends!
Rodney in the bar is a great guy also who makes the end of the day a good conversation and something to look forward to.
Our event is probably moving to another city, and we're all sad to leave this Embassy. Thanks for everything.

Amazing Steve
Pros:

I was in town for 2 weeks on a work trip that required early work on Saturdays and Sundays starting at 8. When Steve A found that a large group of us wouldn’t be able to get breakfast because it started late, he was able to arrange that breakfast would start early. That was unbelievably helpful and super kind. 3 years of this particular trip and Steve is one of the few employees I remember from each trip. Phenomenal
