Find the Best Romantic Hotels Tampa

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.

While we only live 20 minutes away from Tampa Airport in St. Petersburg, we do not like to take the chance of having an accident on the bridge and missing an early morning flight. We have stayed here in the past but that was way before Covid started. The one thing this Marriott has gong for it is being directly connected to the Main Terminal via a carpeted, air conditioned corridor which houses the Tampa Airport Art Gallery. So if you have a very early morning flight, the hotel location allows you to avoid getting up an hour or more earlier to take an area hotel courtesy bus to the airport. I grew up in St Pete and believe the Marriott Hotel was built when the current Tampa Airport location was developed so that is 25+ years ago. While the Airport itself has modernized itself over the years, this hotel has not. The rooms are small. The bathrooms very small. No room to even provide an in-room microwave so they have one on each floor next to the ice machine to be shared by all on that floor. Yuck! If you reserve and pay for one of their ”Larger ” guest rooms as described on their website, you may get a few extra square feet of room and a love seat rather then a one person easy chair. Beware.....make sure you get the type room you were confirmed for as they tried to give us the standard size room when we reserved the larger room at a higher rate. Do not bother paying more for a Concierge Level room as the lounge was closed when Covid started and they have never reopened it. For dinner, we tried to order room service. FYI....there are 3 fast food restaurants and two table service ones in the Main Terminal. Dinner time food is available from the Skyye Bar and Grill. You must order through the Marriott App however I found both price and menu item discrepancies between what was listed there and what I saw on the menu posted on the hotel's Marriott website. So I called to speak to someone in room service. There isn't anyone available to talk to. So I went down stairs to the Front Desk and it just so happens that the Food Manager was standing there. I pointed out to her all the discrepancies, which was really confusing to me as a guest, and she said she would have someone look into it. Meanwhile she offered to take our order. When it came, it was all take out food containers, plastic silverware, and paper packets of salt and pepper. I know this type of service was necessary during the height of Covid, but now? Where's the room service with food brought up on a tray or cart that could be used as a dining table? Yet I was stilled charged a 3% Room Service Delivery Charge and a $5.00 ”Other” charge with no explanation. So it cost us $56 for a Thai Salad, a Caesar Salad, and a very small Pizza. Best you take a walk to the Main Terminal and find something there. Luckily I reserved our room last January for $175. I kept checking prices since then to see if they would go lower. At one recent point, that same room was listed for $350. Not worth that type

Wonderful experience from start to finish! Upon arrival Cristian helped my husband park our large truck—narrow entrance so it was challenging. All the staff we interacted with was stellar! The walk to Amelie Arena was quick and painless. Overall a great stay! 10/20 - 10/21.

I was truly looking forward to an amazing experience as i have never stayed at a Le Meridien. I am sad to say we did not have a good experience. The hotel does not feel luxurious. The room is a little better than staying at Aloft or Courtyard. This was disappointing. We arrived late Friday night to check in. We were surprised that we could not charge our devices using a USB only. The USB outlets did not work on either side of the bed. There were no other outlet options to be found. I did let the front desk know in the morning and it was fixed for Saturday - thank you. The next day, we were very upset when the hot water did not work. I guess we were lucky we had lukewarm water? When my husband called down, the response not an apology for this major issue - it was someone is working on it. My husband took a cold shower and I had a lukewarm shower. When I tried to use the hair conditioner in the shower, it seemed empty? The pump only randomly spit out some conditioner. This is fine when I am home and I know I am out of conditioner, but not when my ”luxury” hotel room was serviced the prior day. My husband also called down to the front desk about it and was told it would be fixed, but it did not make a difference at that point. My husband and I work very hard. Staying at Le Meridien was very expensive. We have stayed at other luxury hotels before and we did not feel like this was a luxury stay. We expect more (outside of hotwater and USB charging ports)- for example more than 1 bottle of ”free” water or the ability to fill a bottle with fresh water at anytime of the day and not in the bathroom sink. The hotel does not have bottle fillers and when I asked, I was directed to use a water fountain, but the water flow would not allow someone to drink from it let alone fill a water bottle. The building was restored well, but that does not make a luxury hotel.

great view . nice for last minute getaways.

I don't know if it is because the first floor, or Florida is too humid, anyway, there is a musty smell when entering the door. The room is quite big and the facilities are a bit old. The front desk is a bit indifferent compared to other hotels. Breakfast is similar, classic American. Stayed for two nights and slept the worst since coming to the United States. It's not noisy around, but the room doesn't feel very comfortable. There is a swimming pool, I haven't used it. I don't know how the score came from.

Our flight was cancelled and could not be scheduled until the next day. The United folks put us up in this hotel saying it was a good place to stay. When we arrived after 8 pm and a very long frustrating day we were greeted by a delightful young lady I believe here name was Mikesha. She did not see our reservation at first, which really made our hearts sink, but she continued to look and she found us a room. She was truly a wonderful person. She even greeted us the next morning at breakfast. I told her I would post after we returned from our trip. We were the couple that had our flight canceled so we missed our next flight to Africa. But it all worked out. The hotel is lovely but the manager and Mikesha were terrific. Most enjoyable stay. Thank you.
