Top Tampa Hotel Reviews

The Westin Tampa Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Will definitely be back!!!"

The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

6/10 Okay

"Two down sides to our stay. Upon arrival at 7:30PM on a Sunday, could not get anyone in the bar/restaurant and had to go to the font desk to ask for a server. Took 10 minutes to get hot water in the shower the entire stay and then could not get it to regulate. Only hot or cold water."

Sailport Waterfront Suites

6/10 Okay

"This is not a resort! It has a pool, but there is no coffee shop or decent place to eat on the premises. The bathroom is really small. There’s a window in the bedroom that faces out into the hall where light leaks in at night. There are no safes! There is no placard to say “do not disturb” but Cleaning is only once every seven days allegedly. Overhead light flickers and burns out over the desk area. No towel service. Elevator is cranky and extremely slow. Sitting areas are in garage. No nice public area to meet for coffee or play cards. "
