Krazy Kruizers Posted August 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2006 We were looking at hotels over the weekend for a cruise that we hope to be taking in Nov 2007. I know that is a long time off. But I see that there is a new Embassy Suites going to open up this October. What can you tell me about this place? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suited_jacks Posted August 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2006 My wife and I are staying here in Sept. before cruise. $99 per night includes airport trans and Breakfast (Sausage and Eggs). I believe this is located in the westdhore area not far from the Airport. Their site is: http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/TPASH Best of Luck!

KreinKrunker Posted August 14, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2006 We haven't seen TrentS around here for some time. Plus, he was the Ft Lauderdale and Miami specialist.

signman Posted August 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Cracker Ken is the resident Tampa expert. The new Embassy Suites will most likely be just like every other Embassy Suites in the country. That's what makes them Embassy Suites. The location is adjacent to the Convention Center and the Ice Palace. Channelside and the cruise piers are just a couple of blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 15, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks everyone for the information. We are Hilton members - thus this is why we are looking into this new Embassy Suites. We stayed at their other one in Tampa - is was all right. Some we have stayed at in other cities having really been great. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewcrews Posted August 18, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 18, 2006 There is a nice Hilton Hotel on Clearwater Beach about 30 minutes west. Great sunsets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri102066 Posted August 18, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Any suggestions on these two hotels? I am trying to make a decision on these two hotels. Holiday Inn Express (Rocky Point) - breakfast, shuttle to port & airport, shuttle to malls - not much within walking distance $218.00 (2 nights) Doubletree Westshore - breafast, shuttle to port & airport, less than mile to malls $258.00 (2 nights) Doubletree Westshore - no breakfast, shuttle to port & aiport, less than mile to malls. $218.00 (2 nights) Not much difference. I don't know about the breakfast at the Doubletree because they say it's continental. It may be better to go elsewhere and get something hot. Does anyone know what the breakfast consist of? Any information or thoughts would be helpful. Thanks Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
