“Great Place For A Family Vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

This is a great hotel. Very accommodating. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The hotel is kept really clean and tidy. I would recommend anyone to stay here. Very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The also have cribs for babies that are on the house. If I go to Tampa again, this is where I will stay.

“Pleasantly surprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

Based on some of the comments, I expected a very run-down hotel. I thought it was very nice (and I have stayed at some run-down hotels) although it could use some improvements.

It was convenient to downtown Tampa although there's not too much to warrant spending a lot of time downtown. But, it's also a short trolley ride from Ybor City which I understand is fun.

The lobby is nice with a lot of comfortable chairs. I had a fine breakfast in the restaurant. The bedroom was well decorated and the bed was extremely comfortable.

By prepaying, I got a great deal--less than some other lower end hotels.

“Good hotel, good price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Went to Tampa to see a show at the performing arts center. The Westin was fairly difficult to locate, and it would have been nice to have directions on the website, but once we got there, the hotel was very nice and in a good location. Our room had a great view and good amenities overall. My only complaint is the constant nickel-and-diming (parking fee, internet fee, etc.) that makes me want to just stay at a budget hotel chain with everything included. That's a problem endemic to the entire high end hotel industry, though, not just the Westin. It would have been nice to have better transportation options available, as well. There was supposed to be a flat $3-per-person taxi rate to downtown Tampa, but the valet staff steered us to an overpriced minibus service instead.

“A textbook example of 5 star customer service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

I stay at a LOT of hotels and happened upon the Westin Tampa Harbour Island by chance. I am now completely obsessed with the hotel and can honestly say it is one of my favorites. First-- the front desk team is amazing. Check in was quick and painless and as an SPG Gold member, they upgraded me to a suite.

My room overlooked the harbour with wall to wall windows. It was clean, nicely appointed, and my bed was HEAVENLY. I slept better than I have in a while.

I got a free drink coupon at check-in (and again the next night) and enjoyed a delicious drink at the bar. The bartender Paul was easy to talk to and made a great drink. The atmosphere in the bar was upbeat yet low-key.

The hotel had lots of little extras-- little caramels near the front desk, great coffee and flavored water in the lobby. Even the housekeeping staff made my stay a delight. The sweet lady cleaning my floor stopped me in the hallway to compliment my outfit and just made me feel like a million bucks.

My only complaint is the cost of parking--$17.00 a day. I think that's excessive.

The Westin made traveling easy. I am really looking forward to my next trip to the area and will always stay at the Westin.
