Tampa Marriott Water Street

Nice restaurants, but breakfast was very limited for the price.

Pool bar closing at 5pm in the middle of summer. Makes no sense.

A nice property in downtown Tampa on the riverfront. The service at this hotel is outstanding , the rooms are in excellent shape and the bar and restaurants have a variety of offerings. The Weekend Brunch is something you must experience. The Valet Parking has very attentive staff and when we called for our SAV, it always arrived quickly. The property is within walking distance to The Benchmark Arena and The Aquarium. You can also catch the Tram which runs to Ybor City right outside the front door. If your travels bring you to Tampa you should consider this Marriott Hotel!

View was lovely. Room was okay.

Barn door bathroom door, no bathroom fan, no makeup mirror.

I have stayed at this property several times in the past and this stay was exceptional with some minor hiccups. However, it should be noted that having status at this property is a major perk. As usual, I will write the review with PROS & CONS. PROS: !. Great location in downtown Tampa right on the water, with amazing views. 2. Employees are well trained and personable. 3. Concierge lounge on 24th floor, has one of the nicest food spreads for evening reception, dessert, and breakfast. 4. Fitness center, very nice, though they had a Peloton bike in the past that isn't there anymore. However, use of the JW Marriott gym which does have a Peloton which regrettably was not set up properly. 5. Excellent pool with great views. 6. Breakfast when lounge is closed is full buffet with omelet station. 7. Beautiful lobby and outside sitting area. CONS: 1. Valet parking only, normally $55, was $27 for our special event. 2. $35 a day Desiination Fee, (money grab) (waived for our event). While this fee offers $20 in food credit daily and other things you probably won't use, it is useless if you have status and free breakfast and concierge access. 3. Breakfast buffet-free for status $38 a person otherwise. SUMMARY: With status or at an event that waives some of the fees a no-brainer, otherwise have to weigh the costs. Shoutouts to Carl in the Concierge Lounge who has been there 26 years and is amazingly attentive. Also to Cole & Dillon in the JW Marriott Fitness area and the two Enginners who spend 60 minutes trying to get the Peloton to work only to discover that some manager had the code and wasn't available on a holiday weekend. I wrote an email to hotel management the day I left complimenting these employees and suggesting the code be left on site to avoid future issues, but I never received a reply. Cheers! Marius

The hotel location was perfect for attending a concert at Benchmark International, and for diniing at the many restaurants to choose from. I might also add, the views from our 24th floor room of the water was spectacular!

The breakfast buffet greeting staff at the Riverwalk Terrace were extremely unprofessional, unqualified, and disrespectful to my spouse and me every morning. They continued to claim that there was a waiting list and that I needed a reservation, although there were dozens of tables unoccupied each morning. On the last morning of our stay, we were informed that there was a 25-minute wait for a table, but the guests who arrived before and after us were seated immediately. I was not happy and called them out on this, saying this was inappropriate, and after stating that we were hotel guests, a table magically opened up for us. The staff that runs the hostess desk at this restaurant needs more supervision and/or training about how hospitality actually works. I'm not sure if this was a lack of staffing or not, but this service issue should never occur at this level of lodging.

Great location and great hotel. Check-in and check-out process was quick and easy. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. Staff was exceptionally polite and helpful. Valet service is quick and on point. Hotel has many options for food and snacks. We had dinner at the Anchor Harbor Rest and everyone in our group loved it. We also had lunch at the Pool bar which was also not only good, but convenient. Would definitely recommend this hotel is staying in Tampa.

I called immediately (within 10 minutes) and told them what happened. In no way shape or form did they try to help me. In fact, they basically said too bad so sad and still charged me the full rate of the room. The cancelation policy says you have to cancel within 5 days of the reservation. (I booked for 5/24 and was told I needed to cancel by 5/19, which is 5 days in the past). How the hell is that even possible? Why is there not an option for folks booking 24-48 hours in advance? Im a 100% disabled veteran and cant get around well, which is the reason I wanted to book at the airport to begin with. An honest mistake and got the middle finger. Ill never stay here and as long as I work with other active/retired/disabled veterans, I assure you, they will not either!
