Downtown Tampa getaway
Great hotel and location. Walking distance to downtown, convention center, Amalie arena and Riverwalk. Super comfy bed, delicious breakfast. Free room upgrade due to rewards program. $50 valet parking and normally a $50 resort fee is high, but expected at a metropolitan four star hotel. Customer service was fantastic

Stay at the Westin Tampa
My husband and I were in Tampa for a veterans convention. The hotel and hotel services were very nice. The room had only one sitting chair even though the room had two beds. The soap dispenser never got filled even though we stayed for 3 nights.
The food was excellent along with the hospitality.

It was very difficult to order in house dining, the button didn’t work on the room phone and the website wouldn’t work. We eventually had to call the front desk and they relayed our order.
There was also a lot of cigar and cigarette smoking right outside and nearby the hotel entrance while we awaited our Uber ride.

The Westin was everything. I loved the hotel. My room view was on the bay. And most of all we were so n midst of everything. The valet parking per night was expensive $50 but outside of that everything else was nice. I highly recommend

Property location is awesome. Very walkable and quiet being on Harbour Island. The views are amazing. The staff is great. The pool is small. The property is getting a little dated, but they keep it very very clean. Can’t beat it. I will be back.
