People at front desk were cold. Most of the time, they do not say hello to guests. Not friendly at all. When we got. Into our one bedroom suite, there is blood stain on the bedsheet on the sofa bed. So unacceptable. And sofa bed is broken. Their team came to bed and change the sheet. Thanks GOD. And more incidents. Our room is directly down from the roof top bar. So noisy even 11 pm or 11:30 pm midnight. We could not sleep well since the noise is bad. The water pressure from shower is so weak. The water is so small. And the water is slippery. Not sure about the water quality Most of the valet people do not have any smile, either. However , the food and host, servers in the restaurant were great. The food is delicious. The servers were nice. This is only thing and place I feel the BEST in this hotel. Read less

As we were back in our room, settling in for the night, we idly flipped through channels on the TV, and we find Back to the Future, when Michael J Fox is about to start singing Johnie B Good.

As we were back in our room, settling in for the night, we idly flipped through channels on the TV, and we find Back to the Future, when Michael J Fox is about to start singing Johnie B Good. And that brought me back to the last time we stayed here, on the last day of February, 2020. And that was when we were about to face the pandemic, not knowing how that would turn out. And after three and a half crazy years, has anything changed at the Epicurean? Not a damn thing, and that, is a very good thing, indeed. Starting at the front desk, with a warm welcome from the staff and a glass of wine, pinot noir or chardonnay. Where does that ever happen? You in the back there, asking why not a cabernet? Leave the room, please. Thank you. The rooms are, comfortable, the mattress firm, and the bathroom has one of those rainfall shower heads For the Traditionals, a regular shower head is also there as well. And the minibar in the room is no ordinary one. Full sized bottles of wine and half of a full size bottles of vodka, whiskey and bourbon. If that doesn't satisfy one's alcohol needs, then perhaps a twelve step program should be considered. And the restaurant? Excellent as well, no need to go elsewhere to eat. The best part, the walkability of the Epicurean. You can walk to the Bayfront, walk to Hyde Park Village. Not some thing you can do at most Tampa hotels. So book your stay here Your senses will thank you. Oh, one minor quibble. Can we have some self parking please, not just valet? Read less
