• Great staff. Outstanding breakfast buffet. Clean and comfortable.
• It's in no man's land. Don't plan on going out near the hotel at night.

“Great staff. Outstanding breakfast buffet. Clean and comfortable room. I would recommend the place. The area of Tampa is downtown. Not much to do right around the hotel but the shuttle will take you where you want to go.”

• The room was much better than we expected.
• The evening shuttle bus driver did not pick us up when he was asked to.

“Residence Inn By Marriott - Tampa, Florida this hotel was much better than we expected it to be. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw our room and the room was clean an comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful with information about the area. Thank you for making our first experience a good one.”

• Good breakfast and manager's reception, very friendly staff.
• The pool was cold, the bed was too soft.

“This was our second stay at this hotel. We enjoyed it very much last time. This time however, it was not as good. The major complaint I have is that the pool was cold. Arriving from snow country, we were looking forward to enjoying a swim, but the water was freezing. We complained but for the entire 4 days we were there, the temperature did not improve. Otherwise, this hotel is a great find. The staff is extremely friendly. The studio room is nice with lots of space. And it is sufficiently clean. The kitchen with fridge, micro, and dishwasher is very convenient. And the dishes, glasses and cutlery make it easy to eat in. The breakfast each day was good. Lots to choose from and replenished quickly. The manager's reception included 3 types of wine, 2 types of beer, and snacks which changed each evening. During our stay we had chicken noodle soup, Caesar salad, garlic bread, chili with chips, cheese and crackers, veggies and dip, etc. It was a nice way to relax with fellow travellers in the evening. The hotel is family friendly and even has a basketball court to use, but it usually is filled with business travelers. There is not much to do in the immediate area, but we went out in the evening for a walk and felt quite safe. The parking lot is gated and costs $8/day. All in all, this hotel is a good deal for the price and I would stay there again.”

• Friendly service. Welcome and good luck message signed by all the staff for bar exam applicants who stayed at the hotel.
• Can't think of anything that was a problem.

“This hotel is convenient to downtown Tampa. The suites are spacious and well appointed. The hotel is quiet and friendly with delicious breakfasts and afternoon social hours with beverages and snacks. All in all it is a winner!”

• Nice room, breakfast, dinner.
• My room had actually been given away when I got there, despite already paying for it.

“Nice, typical Residence Inn. Daily breakfast provided as well as some small meal most nights. Small pool, exercise room, hot tub. Kitchenettes with adequate supplies if cooking for self.”

• Convenient to city trolley line, and friendly 'happy-hour'.
• No restaurants nearby (other than fast-food).

“Good bargain, with shuttle service to the Tampa Convention Center. Also, the city transportation Trolley service stops on either side of the hotel. Rooms are large and comfortable, and the staff offers a daily happy hour with food & beverages during the week.”

• Clean rooms and very comfortable beds.
• The shuttle could run a little later at night.

“Great room and better than I expected. The photos of the hotel do not do it justice. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the room was very clean. We used this shuttle both nights we stayed and it was great. It would have been convenient if the shuttle had run a little later into the night, but a cab was very easy to find. Over all I would stay here again. A real plus to have coffee in the room and in the lobby.”

• Staff was very helpful and friendly!
• Not any entertainment within walking distance.

“We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. We arrived early and they held our luggage for us so we could go do something while waiting to check in. The staff provided helpful information on things to do and see in Tampa and went above and beyond with anything we needed. The bed was comfortable. The sofa was nice to have but not very comfortable.”

• Clean and comfortable, great breakfast buffet.
• Would have liked a hotel closer to the bay.

“Good downtown location, close to a park, good dinner food at the courtyard by Marriott next door. Friendly staff. Comfortable and clean room.”

• Very friendly staff, clean rooms.
• Did not give me other traveling options to get to the convention center or around town.

“I enjoyed everything about the hotel except for the shuttle bus. The driver left me stranded one afternoon And the hotel kept saying he was coming. After an hour, I got my own ride back. It seems that we were usually waiting longer for the shuttle then we were told the wait would be. On the last night we took a cab back from the convention center rather than wait for the shuttle.”

• Hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
• The hotel was located near many abandoned buildings.

“I stayed very comfortably in this hotel. Its location was convenient in terms of the places I was visiting. The neighborhood was a little run-down, with abandoned buildings surrounding it, but the parking is in a gated lot. Overall my stay was great and I'd recommend it!”

• The breakfast was exceptional compared to similar experiences.
• Nothing, great staff.

“Pleasant rooms, well equipped kitchen with all the necessary supplies for in room hosting. Great balcony for the evening when the sun went down. Friendly and helpful staff. Exceptional breakfasts that comes with the price of the room. In walking distance with conference hotels in downtown Tampa.”

“Great to have a full kitchen, free breakfast, and a free shuttle for downtown. Staff was pleasant and bed was comfy. But, no dining or shopping options around the hotel.”

“The location was great. The shuttle was excellent. The staff was courteous. The overall hotel was wonderful. The complimentary breakfast buffet was slow to supplement empty items, but it was included in the price and I understand patience.”

• Warm pool/whirlpool, good breakfast, nice amenities.
• In an area of one way streets, difficult to get to at first.

“Great value for the money. Good variety at breakfast; sausages and oatmeal were yummy. Complimentary happy hour (5-7pm) with unlimited beer and wine, snacks. Wonderful large, warm outdoor pool, 2 hot tubs, and plentiful towels. Large, clean rooms, comfortable bed. Good size kitchen in room. Friendly staff. Locked, fenced parking area. Would stay again for sure.”

• Front desk and staff were excellent. They suggested a great off site restaurant, knew the area, and helped with the computer.
• The pool, because of location, does not always get full sunlight.

“I strongly recommend this hotel. Staff understands ones needs and responds. Tampa could upgrade its art museum which is a very short walk from the hotel. However, the nearby FLY was a positive night time dinner and an enjoyable scene. While changing, right now, downtown Tampa is devoid of people. I think nobody works there and they just put the lights on the office buildings at night to make it look otherwise. I had to drive to Port Manatee but was pleased to stay in downtown Tampa.”

• Nothing.
• The rooms, the shuttle diverted servicemen.

“I felt like I was branded with a huge a on my chest. The shuttle driver was so scary. It took 1 hour to get 1 mile, no joke. He was on the phone with his girlfriend while we were holding our breaths hoping to get there alive.”
