Sheraton Tampa Brandon Hotel (Tampa, USA)

Sheraton Tampa East is a 100% non-smoking hotel which is great for those who don't imbibe and like their room to smell fresh, rather than like stale, second-hand smoke.

The friendly, helpful, multilingual staff is there for you from check-in and through the duration of your stay. They are happy to accommodate most any request and the concierge can point you in the direction of local eateries, entertainment and popular tourist destinations.

Pets are welcome here which is great news for those who like to travel with their favorite canine companions.

Sometimes, the housekeeping staff at Sheraton Tampa East falls short of the mark. Less-than-clean bathrooms, stained linens and carpeting in need of a good vacuuming are a few of the things that housekeeping seems to skip over. If you have a problem with this, especially upon check-in, be sure to notify the management and ask to be moved to a clean room.

There is a fee for WiFi in the guest rooms which can be problematic of you are traveling on business or with kids who want to use their many devices. This fee is waived if you upgrade your room and if you really don't want to pay it, there is free Internet service in the public spaces of the hotel.

The walls are rather thin here making for a noisy stay at times. To avoid the noise bleed as much as possible, try to book a room on a high floor and at the far end of the hall where you are less likely to have as many noisy neighbors.
