The Westin Tampa Bay

No no never again!!! The only thing good about this hotel is the bartender, Jimmy. And that is NOT what you pay the big bucks for a Westin for!

Pictures of the man-made "beach" were deceiving. In reality it was small patch of sand. Nothing was within walking distance, except one restaurant. The hotel wasn't as nice as other Westin hotels I've stayed in. I noticed it was listed as a 4-star; I would give it a 3.5 star. The staff was nice, and overall the room was clean, which are the most important aspects.

Service was excellent from the front desk to Aqua to maintenance staff. Loved the outdoor seating, though I had hoped the beach lounge area had been cleaned up a little better that morning as well as lounge chairs.

Truly the only negative is you have to pay to park which leaves next to no options for some and the rate is pretty high considering it was $38.00 for approximately 5 hours.

Beautiful property and would've been a huge hit had we not been restricted from the private beach. It was what my daughter was most looking forward to. It'd be nice to have a few added amenities such as breakfast vouchers or Starbucks coffees. Anything to make up for the loss of a big amenity. Room view was amazing and room was wonderful. Bikes are a plus for the morning trail along the ocean.

This property was fine but the room was dated with terrible carpet. It was clean and had a mini fridge which was nice to have. The property faces a very busy road/highway we were on the 10th floor no traffic noise in the room but outside it's really loud. Our room was adjoining and unfortunately we could hear everything in the other room which wasn't comfortable for us. We tried to change but the hotel was fully booked so we had to stay put. We did request a water view upon booking and were kindly accommodated. The staff were all polite and friendly. Easy access to self parking no problems at all. The area around the hotel isn't walkable we were glad we had a rental car. We were staying for a concert at Raymond James Stadium it was really close only a 10 minute drive and also really close to the airport. Lobby is nice we used the Starbucks daily. Personally not thrilled with the pet friendly aspect wouldn't have stayed there if we had noticed due to allergies. Elevators were good no waiting. All in all it was a good stay in a convenient location for what we were doing but the rooms definitely need a refresh especially the carpet.

The hotel is ok, it needs some good updates, carpet in the room was ripped and old. The breakfast was ridiculous they ran out of eggs and orange juice. The bar menu ran out of shrimp, sliders and other things. Its honestly the firat time thats ever happened to me. Almost laughable to think that a hotel will be out of food. The elevators were always slow or out of service. The location is great. They should invest more and pay more attention to this property
