Residence Inn by Marriott Tampa Downtown

Antoinette Ramos

We had a lovely two night stay! Our suite was clean and roomy. The property is beautiful! Its the most resort-ish style budget friendly extended style property we’ve stayed at. Our boys enjoyed the basketball court and pool! Pool towels were readily available. They have a lovely outdoor area with a gas grill as well. The lobby and sitting areas are beautiful. The staff was friendly! We’ve had better breakfast at other Marriott hotels but we were grateful to not have to spend money on breakfast with it being included in the hotel rate. This hotel is in the perfect location! Parking was a little annoying because its in a garage and the garage is a bit tight but that’s what’s expected for downtown Tampa. Overall, we will likely be back for our next visit to the area!

I have to agree with A Florida Man‘a review. The staff is very helpful and kind, the Internet doesn’t always work on the TV, and there is a towel shortage. Breakfast was awful, but again, not the staffs fault. Our room was never “refreshed”or cleaned, and e stayed from Thursday to Monday. Our dishwasher didn’t work but it was fixed the next day without us asking. All in all, a strange stay, and probably won’t come back to this specific hotel, or a residence inn again. Kind of a shame since I am a frequent guest of this brand. The pool is nice and gets busy on the weekends. There is a lot of traffic and train noise early at night as well.

The staff at this hotel was phenomenal. Very customer oriented. We stayed for two days while looking for homes in the area. The parking garage is across the street and is $25 per day. We had a 2 bedroom suite and very much enjoyed our time. The awkward thing was the entire suite had two towels (Something I wish we knew prior to getting back from the pool). Once again, called the front desk and they were quick about it, but i learned this wasn't a mistake which is weird if my reservation was for four people in a two bedroom suite. The beds are SUPER SOFT, which may be nice if you don't have a horrid back like myself, and although I cannot deduct points for having a nice soft bed I can however deduct points for the horrid breakfast. If I'm spending over $300 a night I expect some sort of acceptable breakfast, or options other than prepackaged sausage biscuits. Finally we got charged for a third night although we only stayed for two, something I'm dealing with now. Horrible breakfast, the TV wouldn't connect to the internet and the suite was lacking amenities for all four people. That being said, staff was phenomenal and very helpful, and hotel was overall quite clean.

Very disappointing! Consider all other options before booking! Could not get my room cleaned during my 4 day stay. 1. Smelly food trash was left by guest before me in the room. This was not removed at room turnover. 2. AC came on with an enormous engine noise that woke me up every time . Staff first said it was a feature of half the rooms. When I suggested moving, they said it was true of every room and couldn't be fixed! 3. When cold front came through, the heating would not turn on. This was fixed by maintenance. 4. Breakfast is very marginal and staff had trouble keeping up with guests. supply of food . 5. Internet repeated crashed during a Zoom meeting
