I was aware of the mixed reviews for this property so I went in with open eyes. The room rate was much lower than neighboring properties so I gave it a shot but came away disappointed. The positives: The location is great if you need to be near downtown, the convention center or the St. Pete Times forum. Harbour Island... more

If it was so awful the first time why did I go back? Traveling as part of a group I had no choice. And since my room was paid for by the company, I figured even if it was terrible again, I'd find something to like. Whatever the renovations were that they were doing last time in 2007, I have... more

I spent two nights at the Westin during a business trip to Tampa, and I'm glad I chose it. My room was quiet and clean, and the view of downtown Tampa and the waterways was superb. The staff I interacted with at the front desk were efficient. more

When I got to the hotel I asked the front desk clerk if they could upgrade me. To my surprise they did. I was very happy with this. They put us in a corner suite 1 bedroom, Living room, 2 bathroom. This is amazing to have. We stayed there for 3 night and had a blast. The people there were... more

We went for my 50th birthday celebration and to attend spring training . I am a platinum starwood and they upgraded us to a suite. this hotel is beautiful in an anonymous way, has an outdoor pool. It is very competent and well run located in tampa harbor. more

We stayed at this property recently, and it was a big disappointment. After staying at many Westins over the years, this one did not compare. The staff was rude at best, the rooms were not appointed like the typical Westin room...the bed was not Heavenly, nor were the towels. The hotel itself was pretty run down, again by Westin standards.... more

We stayed here for one night during the Gasparilla Parade. We had a nice, clean room with a beautiful view of the waterway. The beds were comfortable and well dressed. The towels were plentiful and soft. The hotel was very well staffed and went out of their way to accomodate our needs (we have a 3 and a 5-year-old). The... more

We have stayed at several Westins and looked forward to this one. I'll start with the good points: 1. Great location--close to downtown Tampa and Ybor City, and within walking distance of the trolley that you can ride to the aquarium, Ybor, etc. 2. Great views of the bay and/or city. 3. Each afternoon there is a free treat in... more

What a dissapointment. We would have checked out the very first night if there had been any other nearby hotel available. We stayed at the Westin while attending a convention at the Tampa Convention Center. Convenience to the Convention Center is the only plus. The walls are paper thin and we were able to hear everything goin on in the... more
