Tampa Hostels

The hardest blasted bed I've ever been on! Then, we had some people racing their motorcycles nearby and calls to the front desk to report/request police help were met with disbelief since I couldn't tell them exactly where the motorcyles were - I did tell her to step outside and she'd hear it.... The hotel itself is charming, clean & nicely decorated, other staff were terrific so maybe this was just an ”off” night....

A little dated but very clean. Helpful staff are very nice and carparking was included in the price.

When we booked we told the salesperson we were going to a ballgame and needed to check in early. We arrived and Damion greeted us. He said he couldn’t guarantee it but would try to get us in early. We went to our car poured a beverage went to the beach area and 20 minutes later he called and said our room was ready. Very impressed by this young man. Our room was perfect. Amazing view. Only downside for the first night was the folks in the next room decided to play their loud music base until after 2am It was annoying and disrespectful. Next morning we asked Damien if they were checking out that day. Thank goodness they were. Second night was much better. We enjoyed some time at the pool and watched the sunset which was amazing. Sunday was much better than Saturday but these folks are very sweet

Hello, my stay here has been great. The customer service was awesome. We were able to check in and the person who served us was very nice and professional and pleasant. Her name was Ms Angela. It had already been a long day. Our church group was coming in from Georgia to visit Bush Gardens. After this long trip, it was great to be able to be checked in, in a nice and timely manner. Ms Angela checked us in and was very helpful in explaining things concerning processing our payment, letting us know about our room and getting us our keys. Our room was great. Nice and clean and well put together. Sleep was great and refreshing to experience. I would definitely recommend this establishment to others.

My visit was perfect from the initial ingress, housekeeping (she is excellent), concierge, front desk staff, food services - restaurants and room service - janitorial staff keeps that place spotless. Bartenders, waiters everyone. Food was delicious, bed was comfortable and everyone was kind. Excellent location near the arena and convention center. First visit to Tampa and the JW added to a memorable experience

first-class environment near the bay beach, seaside, beauty, grill It's just that after the hotel changed its name, the equipment is also old Not even the chair wheels in the room are still inside The elevator buttons are gone Shuttle bus called a lot of front desk but no one answered It cost 25 knives from the airport. I remember that the yellow cab sometimes doesn’t use the meter, so we negotiated the price before getting in the car. Otherwise, we can only give Generally, it can be done within 15 uber That taxi took a card and wrote $25. The yellow cap is considered a receipt. have no choice The hotel is not far from whiskey joes and bar, and there is a party on Sunday If I enter by mistake, it's all buffet, but I'm not ashamed to eat it, I ran out to order a la carte, the menu is attached for reference, and I also encountered a beautiful fireworks show. I didn't eat breakfast at the hotel, I don't have time, I don't know what it's like

I have been here to attend a 3-day conference at the conference center next door. Great hotel! VEry clean and modern. I was fortunate to get a room on teh 27th floor wit a view over the water - maginificent. The rooms are clean, large enough, and functional. There are a few decent restaurants in teh hotel and many more at your doorstep. The hotel shop is almost an entire supermarket. If you forgot something at home they have it there! Even all sorts of food. Only (tiny) negative aspect are the elevators. Although there are enough of them on rush hour you may have to wait more than 5 minutes for one to come.

The staff at Le Meridian could not have been better or nicer! They were incredibly friendly and helpful….a big shout out to LaLithia at the front desk who was awesome and helped us upon check-in. The glass of complimentary sparkling wine upon check-in is a nice touch. The complimentary coffee in the lobby from 6 am until noon is also a nice and appreciated touch. Our room was very spacious and very clean. I am giving my review a 4 start vs 5 star because of the room decor and, quite frankly, the hotel (hallway decor) as well. Whoever was in charge of interior design should be fired! Our room was incredibly depressing because EVERY wall except the entry hall was painted a DARK gray. The carpet (new at least) was also a DARK gray. The bathroom was ….guess what….a DARK gray. Because the hotel is a converted old court house, the ceilings are high and made of cement so there is no recessed lighting (understandable). BUT, there wasn’t even a floor lamp in our room. It was SO DARK and DEPRESSING. Needless to say, we felt we were living in a CAVE. When you stay at an upscale hotel for a getaway or mini vacation, you expect to feel happy and uplifted. The decor did just the opposite. In addition, our room was lacking ANY seating area other than the bed and a desk chair (at bar height to match the bar height desk). It was CLEARLY MISSING a couple of comfortable occasional chairs. We called the front desk as soon as we walked into our room and requested a couple of chairs. They brought us 2 stacking chairs. I guess it was the best they could do under the circumstances but they certainly weren’t comfortable chairs that one would want to relax in. Also, the TV was very small given the size of the room and the distance from the bed to the TV. As for my reference to the hotel decor, and specifically the hallways, Marriott fell so far short in making this hotel what it COULD be given its unique history and architecture. When you walk down the hallways the bottom half of the walls have old marble (a nice touch and vestigial feature of the court house) BUT the top half of every wall is BARE. It is just COLD and lacks ANY sign of nice decor. Why wouldn’t they line these hallways with old, framed photos of court houses, court rooms, judges, etc???? Or old photos of Tampa? Or have a local artist paint murals on these walls? Ironically, the hotel gives its guests free passes to the Tampa Art Museum but whoever designed the interior space didn’t bother to include ANY artwork in the hallways. And the “artwork” in our room consisted of a few ugly, random cheaply framed posters. You might think that I am overly critical….after all, as I said, the staff was lovely and responsive and our room was spacious, quiet and clean. BUT, because our room was just so DARK and DREARY and DEPRESSING we wanted to minimize the time we spent at this hotel.

If you spend the night in this city, it's a great hotel. The location is very good, the surroundings are very quiet, and there are very good restaurants nearby. If you had stayed here, you would not have chosen another hotel
