We enjoyed our stay here for one night. We liked that the room was clean and comfortable. The airport shuttle was also convenient. When you land, contact the property and they will contact the driver and schedule you a pick-up. There is a mall and a Publix both within walking distance. Use the crosswalks as the intersections are huge and very busy with traffic. We travelled with our toddler so it was important to have a location where places were walkable. The hotel was a short distance from the cruise port which was the reason for our trip-Cruising! If in the area again, we would definitely stay here again.

I found this hotel to be pretty, comfortable and somewhat friendly. Check in was fast and they text me frequently asking if I needed anything. I asked for extra towels and I received then in 5 minutes. I didn't like the pool area. Leaves were at the bottom making it feel dirty and tons of smoking by the pool bar! Cigar, cigarettes, vaping and pot. I actually felt sick sitting there, couldn't breathe.

This definitely did not feel like a true 4-star hotel. My first impression at check-in was disappointing. The front desk agent seemed uninterested and unprofessional — she was leaning on the desk with her elbow while talking to me and didn’t make me feel welcomed at all, especially being my first time at the hotel.

I arrived at 3:10 PM with my two kids and was told there were no rooms available until 4 PM. What surprised me was that the hotel had previously encouraged me to sign up for early check-in, so I expected a smoother experience.

The hotel itself looks old and clearly needs maintenance. What shocked me the most was how highly rated it is on Expedia compared to the actual experience. My advice: do your research before booking. I would have gladly paid a little more for another hotel if I had known what to expect.

They only provide 2 towels (we booked a room with double beds). The bathroom walls were disgusting (had blood stains on them). The towels provided - one of them had blood on it. The blanket on the bedding as well had a stain. The room also had a bad smell coming out of the vent. I sneezed about 20 times. They rectified it by changing our room.

Very weird guest room layout with the bathroom sink and mirror on the outside so if you were sleeping, noone else could be awake getting ready.
This hotel was a big money gauger and we were super disappointed.
The cabana by the pool was $100 and included nothing except for bottled water... We paid for hundreds of dollars worth of drinks and food during our stay and they tried to charge us $75 for a late check out.
The food was cheap, microwaved nastiness. Will not be staying here ever again.

Hotel wasn’t bad, the room door wasn’t sealed properly so there were bugs in the room. They were doing construction on the road beside the hotel. We asked for a room further away in the main building and they didn’t help us put. Literally did nothing about it. The whole room was shaking during the night. I know it’s not the hotel fault, but they should’ve accommodated us with a room in the main building where it would have been quieter.

The suite facing the pool is spacious and comfortable, but the transition from the lobby to the pool area was disappointing. The hotel feels newly renovated at first, with a modern vibe, but once you reach the pool, it feels less refined—more like a motel than a hotel. Consistency in the renovation would elevate the experience. That said, the staff was attentive, and if the outdoor area were updated, the hotel would better match its promise. Unfortunately, the breakfast was quite underwhelming for the price, making it not worth paying for. Housekeeping also fell short: floors weren’t swept, towels weren’t replaced, and on Sunday, no room service was provided, leaving the room unattended. Even on other days, the trash wasn’t emptied, and it seemed only the bed was made.

Hotel Alba exceeded my expectations. Maybe I’m an amateur, but I’ve never stayed at a hotel that allowed guests to communicate directly through text. They checked in throughout my stay and kept me updated on everything, which made the experience feel much more personal and convenient. There was state construction happening outside the hotel, which was obviously beyond their control, but despite that, the staff still provided immaculate service and did everything they could to make my stay fantastic.

Under the radar hotel (as it's not downtown or walking distance to UTampa or Hyde Park) but PROs out way cons. Super convenient as it's 10-min. from airport yet doesn't feel like an \"airport hotel\" as the property is fresh, clean, stylish, warm and comfortable. Reasonably priced, attentive staff, quaint bar and rec areas often with local musicians, plus restaurant and spacious pool bar with quality food. Bonus —they have an airport shuttle. Minus —wish they had queen beds (vs doubles) in the 2-bed offerings. Highly recommend.

They upgraded me, which was a first for me. as a frequent Disney goer, My standards are high, and this hotel stay did not disappoint! As a matter of fact it exceeded my expectations I wish my stay had been longer so I could fully enjoy the suite. It was spacious, with a TV that had all the streaming services. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless. I absolutely loved it!

However, I have two small complaints. First, the lighting in the rooms is not the best. It’s only lit by lamps, which can be a bit dim. Second, some guests may pay extra for the pool view, but be mindful of the noise level. You can hear everything in this hotel, from the planes to the pool and the slamming doors and people walking past.
Despite these minor issues, I can’t wait for my next stay!

Room was not clean enough. Hair is everywhere floor was dirty. Air conditioner is the loudest air conditioner i’ve ever seen in my life. Even next room a/c was loud. It was a construction everyday next to the pool or inside of the restaurant or outside. Always something was going on. Check-in was messy in the app our room number kept changed probably they were keep giving away the ready/clean room whoever complained first. Inside bar area was so loud even after the bar close. Entertaining drunk customers its not a hospitality at this point. Food was bland not tasty. The only person was nice was pool bartender she was great. i forgot her name but she was working Sunday also Tuesday. Worst Hilton ever.

The Shuttle, which they offer two and from the airport and also to and from Raymond James Stadium is not reliable. Also, I know I booked well in advance of a busy time for the hotel and even though I am a seasoned Hilton guest, they put me in ADA Room with a terrible view. The room also had a very loud AC unit which blew directly at the head area of the bed, and it only came on when the temperature discrepancy was so much that the air that it blew out was absolutely freezing no matter what the thermostat was set to.. I was woken at multiple times during the night by the AC turning on to the point that I ended up having to have the room AC set to 80° just so I wouldn’t get frozen out. The woman who worked the front desk gave off major mean girl energy to the point of being very noticeable. Also, the food at the hotel is not good at all and extremely overpriced. Whoever the hotel hired to do upgrades to the hotel, obviously did not know what they were doing and maybe this was because they were just trying to save money and get the cheapest labor possible. But it’s clear that the tile job in the shower was somebody’s first time ever tiling anything. Overall, I give this place three stars. The location was pretty convenient and within walking distance to Publix a mall that is half empty and some nice dining spots.
