My trips to Tampa have become an annual event for a work related convention. While many of my coworkers choose to stay at the Embassy Suites I find it best to stay across the street at the Marriott Waterside Hotel. This 27 story hotel is first class all the way. From the views of the water and adjoining boat slips... More

Everybody was great. I really enjoyed the hotel. You can tell you all love your jobs. Janet in the gift shop, Peter is the cafe, Gloria at the desk and Robin at the concierge desk were so helpfully. I work for Marriott and this was the first hotel to treat me like a guest and not an employee. It was... More

We stayed at the Marriott Waterside April 13, 2012. Our stay was one night prior to a cruise from the port of tampa. Very convenient location as the port was literally 5 minute away. We arrived early and had requested and received early check in. We used the valet parking service which was fast and efficient. It is a bit... More

The hotel had a nice view of the city (IF YOU LIKE TAMPA). There is not much in the way of places to eat, other than the hotel. It was as good as a Hampton, but 3 times the price. Internet $14.95 - 24 hours, parking $20.00, water $7.50 a bottle, need I say more... The internet was horrible, the... More

Probably Tampa's nicest hotel that is central to everything. The rooms are nice, especially if you reserve a room with a water view. Valet is a bit expensive, though. More

The reason I chose to write this review was mostly based on the level of service we received from Robin, the concierge. Recognizing that we had a really busy work schedule, she really stepped up to help resolve some unexpected challenges that would've really put us behind schedule if we had to take the time to resolve ourselves. The hotel... More

Stayed at the Marriott in conjunction with a conference at the convention center. If you don't need to be downtown stay elsewhere. I was disappointed by the downtown scene. The sidewalks roll up at night and there are few choices of places to stay. I was disappointed by the less than accommodating nature of the staff. I've been a good... More

Just got back from attending a weekend conference at this hotel. I was very impressed. The room was great with a beautiful view. The bed was unusually comfy for a hotel. The elevators are fast, even when booked to capacity. All of the food was above average to excellent. (breakfast buffet was awesome - especially the sliced tomatoes. My server... More
