I have been to Tampa a few times and always try to stay here. Many times it is because it’s across the street from Bern’s! Exceptionally designed rooms. This is not a huge five star hotel room but is very nicely put together for the size. Plenty of space to unpack and work. The bed is comfortable and the linens are high quality.

I have been to Tampa a few times and always try to stay here. Many times it is because it’s across the street from Bern’s! Exceptionally designed rooms. This is not a huge five star hotel room but is very nicely put together for the size. Plenty of space to unpack and work. The bed is comfortable and the linens are high quality. Bathroom is well appointed and clean. The restaurant downstairs for both dinner and breakfast is very good. My understanding is that there is some connection with Bern’s across the street. We had a long dinner there (Monday night and Bern’s is not open) and it was an impressive hotel dinner. Great lobby. Front desk staff is top-notch. Think of it as an elevated AC hotel with a food/drink focus. Only ding? In the morning, the nearby expressway is noisy. Not the end of the world and you don’t hear anything at night. Read less

Hotel was amazing as soon as we pulled in. Front desk was very very kind and helpful. Took time to explain the hotel and area. Love the glass of wine upon arrival. People at the restaurant and bar were amazing as well. Food is great. Don't skip the wings. They put so much love into them. All sauces you can tell are made in house. Hotel… Read more
Hotel was amazing as soon as we pulled in. Front desk was very very kind and helpful. Took time to explain the hotel and area. Love the glass of wine upon arrival. People at the restaurant and bar were amazing as well. Food is great. Don't skip the wings. They put so much love into them. All sauces you can tell are made in house. Hotel was build in 2013 but is not showing its age at all. Can tell this is due to the care, up keep and attention to detail from the staff and management. Kudos for running such an amazing establishment. Will be back Read less

We were checked into a room that had crumbs on the table and the bathroom sink had not been cleaned. The bed was made. We were instantly uncomfortable at this hotel.

We were checked into a room that had crumbs on the table and the bathroom sink had not been cleaned. The bed was made. We were instantly uncomfortable at this hotel. We had to go directly to dinner at Bern’s but when we came back I let the front desk know we would only be staying the one night not two as originally planned as we knew we couldn’t relax knowing the hotel was not up to our standards with cleanliness. Ashton a manager at the Epicurean called our room and offered to move us which we happily agreed to. Ashton also gave us a $50 credit and 10K Bonvoy points but sadly the relaxing Tampa vacation we had hoped for was not to be had. For the price of this hotel someone should make sure the rooms are clean before putting guests in them. Read less

Stayed here when we took our son to see snow at Snowcat Ridge in Dade City, valet was nice and I enjoyed my welcome drink. We enjoyed our stay and the heated pool, but this is definitely a hotel that I would say is geared toward adults that enjoy drinking, as there was a full on bar in the room.

We enjoyed our stay and the heated pool, but this is definitely a hotel that I would say is geared toward adults that enjoy drinking, as there was a full on bar in the room. So while the room was comfortable and clean I would not recommend for those traveling with tween/teens or if anyone in your party is in recovery. Read less

Fantastic boutique hotel, located across the street from Berns steakhouse and in a trendy neighborhood. Staff very helpful and accommodating, rooms very comfortable and clean, safe area with several other cafes and coffee shops within walking distance. We also enjoyed walking up to the Bayshore area (4.5 miles of paved walking, biking trail bordering Tampa Bay). Great rooftop bar with beautiful sunset views and comfy couch seating, as well as on site restaurant. Love, love love this hotel. Highly recommend! Read less
