Fantastic hotel in downtown Tampa

Fantastic hotel in the heart of downtown Tampa. The rooms were spacious and immaculately maintained by cleaning staff. We were there for a conference and took advance of the room service. The food arrived in good time and was delicious. The staff we came into contact with were friendly and willing to help. I would definitely recommend this hotel…

Not a wink of sleep

Our room facing the water on the 14th floor had a noise I’d equate to a shovel scraping a sidewalk all night long. When I contacted the desk they said they had issues with the elevators which were not adjacent to our room. I did not sleep all night and the hotel was not about to do anything to help. Very disappointed based on how much I paid for…

Attitude with a splash of worn rooms

The hotel has definitely gone down. Check in was an absolute nightmare. The wait was extensive (about 20 minutes). My room was showing its wear. Stains on carpet and on couch. I was lucky to have a small 1 bedroom suite with a view of the water. The view was nice.

The hotel has definitely gone down. Check in was an absolute nightmare. The wait was extensive (about 20 minutes). My room was showing its wear. Stains on carpet and on couch. I was lucky to have a small 1 bedroom suite with a view of the water. The view was nice.
In the end the billing took months to get sorted out. They charged wrong cards that were on file (and not presented). Overall it took more work to stay here based on the constant back and forth on billing.

Quick weekend stay
Aug 13, 2024strassbsPort Saint Lucie, Florida
Beautiful hotel ! Loved the location and can walk to a lot of activities or take the free trolley. Rooms were spacious and views of the riverfront were superb. Staff were super friendly. Only downfall is parking… I never figured out where to park without being charged $50 without being able to go in and out.
Excellect service should be praised!

I travel frequently and I am usually pleased with the service from Marriott properties. But exemplary service should be noted. We have a great room, great front desk service (Sosha), and excellent bar service. I could not be more pleased. THis staff is a credit to its managers and trainers.
