This Marriott was a great place to stay for a meeting I had to attend. The beds at Marriott are fantastic. The staff was very helpful and courteous. I would definitely stay again if I return to Tampa.

This is a very nice Marriott physically. Location great, rooms nice, food and beverage options nice . . . But . . . Senior management here not paying attention or just plane didn't care to show up this past weekend. Spent two nights here. The valet parking was a disaster. People waiting 30-40 minutes for their cars. Waterside grill .... More

This is a typical large Marriott and I mean that in a good way. It's very nice and clean. Great location. The rooms are nice and the service was great. It has a nice rooftop pool (on around the 4th floor level, not the 27th floor). There are some nice restaurants within easy walking distance. It's also close to the... More

Nothing to rave about. Clean and staff perform adequately. When I checked in I requested a water view and was told well you have a city view from the 8 th floor which was nothing to be excited about. Just seems that my request should have been considered.

Typical higher end Marriot Hotel with excellent rooms and decent resturants. We enjoyed a great breakfast in the Waterside Grill and Happy Hour in Champions Sports Bar.

I stayed 5 nights at this hotel while at a conference at the Tampa Convention Center. Location was great... Just across the street. I had a beautiful view of the bay from my room on the 11th floor.
