My sister and I booked this for several nights. When we got to our room, there was a overwhelming spell of mold and midew. We complained and the office sent up maintenance who gave us room freshener. In the middle of the night, we both woke due to not feeling well - burning thoats. We checked out and the front office professsionaly handled giving us a credit for the additional nights. I'm not sure why the other reviews are so positive. You can smell the mold and mildew in the hall. This is not just dampness due to being by the water. It's overpowering. Recommend you continue shopping as this property is not well maintained and there's many choices.

We were able to check in early which was so nice after a 4:00 am wake up call to catch our flight. Beautiful views and really enjoyed the pool and restaurant by it. We never heard neighbors. The waterfront at sunset was breathtaking, and there were not a ton of people there.

This was our second visit to Sailport. Our first visit was obviously pleasant for us to return. We made our reservation months in advance and explained the view and room we would like. When the day arrived, we went to the front desk and was told that they could provide us a room, but not the type of room we expected. However, if we were willing to wait we would have a great room. We waited of course. When we went to our room, we had a view of the beach, the side of the building and the garage. The 100% view of the ocean like last time was not even close even though it was promised when we called to make the reservation Overall, this trip was overpriced for what they promised, the staff changed from our last visit (Oct., 2022) and friendliness is not a concern if theirs. I've learned that there are other properties with just as majestic views for the same price.

This place is a hidden Gem, The pool is nice, grounds and views of the bay are awesome. One of the best amenities is the on-site restaurant, don't waste money elsewhere the food right there is excellent and open late, this is our second stay here and it won't be the last. Justin's apartment room 361 through air bnb was really nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

I stayed here for my first visit to Tampa. My plane arrived earlier than expected, leaving me 3 hours at the airport with nothing to do. I took a chance and called the hotel to ask if it were possible to check in any earlier. I didn’t expect that they would let me, and it’s not their obligation to, but to my surprise, they were very nice! They told me to come on down and they had plenty of rooms clean and waiting on me. (You have to understand this isn’t always possible when places are busy. If I had done it over, I would have booked a day earlier) When I drove to the gate entrance to tell them my name, the guy running that area was so upbeat and very welcoming. I also had a great experience with the man at the front desk. He was also very sweet and funny . I wish I had got these peoples names. The room I stayed in was a bay view, and it was very clean and nice. It had a full kitchen (fridge, toaster, blender, coffee maker, silverware, etc) there was no mold anywhere. I also had no problems with anyone staying there. Everyone kept to themselves, no loud or obnoxious people. No loud music. The outside lounge area was usually pretty empty. It is best viewed early morning or near the evening because there not a ton of shade down there. I will definitely stay here again.

Rented from a Private Owner; check-in time is 4:00 but I still hadn't received the check-in code upon arrival which was after 4:30 - AND housekeeping hadn't finished! Unit owner responded quickly with the code once I texted her that we had arrived in Tampa, so thumbs up for that. Housekeeping finished within 15 minutes of me asking how much longer they would be...if we hadn't been traveling all day it wouldn't have bothered me as much, I guess. The unit itself was fine, older but clean...great bay view which we enjoyed very much. For 2 of us we initially had just 2 washcloths for 5 days, I requested 6 addional but got just 3; Unit "sleeps 4" but cutlery needs to be beefed up to accommodate 4. I would go to Sailport again but only to hang out there for the whole trip as driving on I-275 (attempted to go to Sarasota) was a horror show & I-75 wasn't much better. We found the drive to Clearwater fairly calm & hopped on the Jolley Trolley. Food was decent; ambiance good, especially upon leaving 40° temps of the northeast!

I called them as they charged me twice for the resort fee but when I called he stated they only had it once in their system and I paid 225 total (which included the resort fee). I ended up having to dispute it since I paid 225 PLUS an extra 20 resort fee. Instead of passing me along to someone who could help he basically told me I was wrong…as I was looking at my statement with both charges. It was quite irritating and I don’t understand being rude to someone who was nice enough to call instead of just disputing. Beyond that, the hotel is a motel on the outside. Hubby didn’t want me to check in alone even though he could see the lobby because it was so sketchy at night. Rooms were nice, albeit very dated. Water pressure was not good. It worked for what we needed: a room close to the airport. Price definitely reflected the location and not the hotel itself.

The only good thing about this place is the view we had from our room. The view of beautiful Tampa Bay. The room was so outdated that it seemed dirty. The tub was chipping on the inside and stained with what looked like blood, but we were told it was glue to hold the chips together. When we were told, it was obvious this was an issue that had been brought up before and they just didn't care. The two times we asked the front desk a question, it was like we were putting them out. Very rude and not helpful at all. Nobody told us that rooms are not cleaned and towels are not replaced UNLESS REQUESTED in advance. Way over priced for what you get.

I was there with friends for the Taylor Swift concert. One of us booked through Air BnB and we booked directly. My friend's room was definitely more updated and homey but our room was the same size and similar. Both had great views. The location was convenient for what we were doing. Best - the poolside restaurant and bar. The bartender was fabulous and the food is really quite good. Great atmosphere. Worst - the elevators. One was out of service for the most part and we were on the 4th floor so that kind of sucked. They were old and felt dodgy.. I would go back.
