Tampa Marriott Water Street

Hotel feels slightly dated. Staff were very polite at check in. Love the $30 credit, Mexican beer tasting hour! Bed was comfortable and room and bathroom were clean.

Really enjoyed the suite, better water view was expected but it was still very nice.

Pillows weren't comfortable; too flat

For context, I’m a flight attendant and stay in many hotels around the world each month. Tonight, I was trying to get something to drink and tried 3 different vending machines. Unfortunately, all of them were out of stock. I then came across a friendly employee in the lobby named Sam who told me there was a gift shop but it was about to close in a few minutes. Despite going right away, it had unfortunately just closed. I decided to wait in line at the bar and order a Pepsi. However, that’s when I was approached from behind from Sam asking me if I was able to get what I was looking for and if he was able to help. Instead of purchasing a Pepsi at the bar, he told me to follow him and proceeded to get a Pepsi for me free of charge. I know it may seem like a small gesture, but Sam went out of his way to look for me, help me and for that I’m very grateful. It reminded me that good people and good customer service to still exist in the world we live. Please help me in thanking Sam- I really appreciate his help tonight. -Gage

This hotel is fabulous and elegant. Its location is unbelievably convenient next to the convention center, river walk, free street car stop, one block from the Arena, and three blocks from the cruise terminal and Florida Aquarium. The staff was fabulous and the Anchor & Brine restaurant offers a great outdoor experience with a view of the river. The rooms were clean and spacious. The fitness room is well equipped but there’s a grade separation (steps) connecting two adjoining areas. The sky bridge connector to the JW Marriott across the street is uber convenient with easy access to SiX restaurant and The Beacon (rooftop bar). The river walk is immediately out the back door and spans 2.5 miles, is well lit, and allows for wonderful morning runs or evening walks. It’s hard to imagine that I would stay anywhere else when I return to Tampa.
