I really enjoyed my stay here, the hotel is beautiful and the view was great. I recommend this place if you're staying downtown as it is very walkable with many restaurants, the Riverwalk and available alternate means of getting around like scooters, bikes or the free trolley. I was in town to go to the TB Rays game, the stadium is nowhere near here, as it is in St. Petersburg but I'm still glad I stayed here. The room was comfortable enough but I was near the elevator and it didn't really bother me but it did effect one of the lamps in my room which kept flickering. I had a great view of the bay with boats coming in and out. The pool was nice but services were limited. I think I could've ordered from the bar as I saw others with food and drinks but I didn't look into it. Check in was simple enough but I had a hard time understanding the young woman through her accent. I'd recommend and I'd stay here again.…

We stayed here in late February 2021. The place was mostly closed. The restaurant was not open, which meant they offered no breakfast or benefit to elite members (except 1000 measly points for the full duration of the stay). They cited covid as the reason. However, they are requiring valet parking and not offering self parking. I've been at other hotels that won't open their restaurant due to covid, but they also don't allow valet because of covid. The bar is open in the evening, so why can't the restaurant be open in the morning? Answer: so they don't have to offer breakfast benefits to members. This is one of the reasons I booked a Westin. It may seem like a small detail, but I start ALL of my travel plans by searching Marriott hotels. This year I will have over 100 nights and spend thousands of dollars at Marriott properties. I stay almost exclusively at Marriotts and ask for very little. This hotel fell flat. The bar was open, but very packed and only one guy working it on a Friday night. They were out of all draft beer and didn't offer a menu or suggestions. The guy said they got hit hard during the Super Bowl, which is why they were out of beer. We visited 3 WEEKS after the Super Bowl. You can't restock in that time? Now for the room. The view was incredible, everything else was not. I paid for a suite. I didn't ask for an upgrade; I didn't use suite nights; I booked and paid for a suite. The room was the most half put together room I've ever seen. It was a good size, but was mostly empty. One small table (which had a random chair and a computer chair at it... what??), a good sized sectional couch, the bed, and then tons of vacant floor space. Did I buy a bigger room just for all this empty space? No desk to sit and work? The TV was the exact same size as the regular rooms (or at least I hope the regular room TV isn't any smaller), but the couch and bed were a lot farther away because of the huge empty floor space. This meant the TV was hard to see. The bathroom is tiny. Fairfield Inn provides bigger and nicer bathrooms in all of their hotels, including the small hotels alongside the highway. This is a Westin downtown, I expected more. There is no balcony. It was never described as having one, but they deceptively take a photo from the top floor (which is the only floor that has a faux balcony) to make you think it was just unlisted. Lastly, I requested a high floor, I paid for the room (no upgrade), and I have high status. I was placed on the fifth floor. Are you telling me that Ambassadors paid for all the suites and thus got priority over me? Or is it that they didn't care about taking care of their loyal members? Overall, this is not the experience I would expect from Westin. I didn't enjoy my experience or my stay and likely will not return on future trips to Tampa.…

Even though I had the worst night's sleep of any hotel stay in my life, still giving 4 stars because I've stayed here before and had a good experience. This past weekend I was booked in room 1116 and that room was directly behind the elevators and allow me to assure you - they NEVER stop running. I travel with a white noise machine which usually drowns out any standard hotel noise, but even at its highest setting, I could still hear the steady woosh and clunk of the 3 elevators running all night. There are 3 elevators and being that this is a large hotel, they are in constant use. Outside of this, the hotel is in a great location, clean, comfortable beds, friendly staff and when were there the bar was open, which was great. We went next door to Jackson's for dinner and that was a great experience as well. I'd recommend this hotel, just avoid rooms ending in 16 unless you love the sound of elevator thumping all night!…

Amazing location to the harbor walk and the wharf. Incredible uplifting service at the front desk from Kim and Mia. During these stressful times it makes all the difference when you are welcomed with a smile and pure professionalism with a feeling of being home. The people make the difference and it shows at this property for sure. Keep up the great work and definitely stay here when you visit Tampa. Be well Dan

We had the best experience ! Andrew and the staff were friendly, professional and very accommodating. Housekeeping and the Valet staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed for 3 weeks in January and February and felt very comfortable with their Covid policies. Due to Covid we had some unusual requests such as plates and utensils for our grub hub orders:), requesting an alternative desk chair for long zoom meetings etc. and they accommodated all of our requests graciously. The location is incredible, to wake up every morning to see the UT rowing team practicing and beautiful boats cruising by. Walking on Bayshore Blvd. or the River Walk are both great walks. Lots of fantastic restaurants in walking distance. Thank you to Andrew for making our stay so wonderful. We will definitely go back to the Westin Tampa Waterside.…
