The hotel was very close to the convention center. Downtown Tampa is very nice and enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised and never worried about my safety. The riverwalk area that runs behind the hotel is very nice and you are also walking distance to a Publix grocery store and the Aquarium. Area recommendations: Westpark mall, aquarium, Hyde Park More

Lucky to get a balcony room for Gasparilla and was able to watch the invasion from the terrace. The room was very comfortable especially the beds. We dined at both Champions sports bar as well as the Italian restaurant which was pricey but superb. I feel that as a gold member we should have had access to breakfast since concierge... More

My husband & I stayed here for 1 night to attend a function close to downtown. The location is great. Request a room on one of the top floors & it's an incredible view from your room. The staff was very friendly, the hotel was clean & well appointed. Beautiful lobby area & they have a Starbuck's in the lobby.... More

Just returned from a nearly week long conference and truly enjoyed the property. The pool is great, and there are a number of options for groups to gather (lobby bar, Starbucks, sports bar, casual dining, fine dining). It's literally across the street from the convention center and light rail system. The rooms were clean, quiet, and well appointed. Food was... More

I stayed at this hotel on Jan. 25-27, 2012 for a conference. Great location, adjacent to the convention center, Tampa Bay Times Forum and lots of restaurants and entertainment options. This hotel will be ground zero for the 2012 Republic National Convention coming to Tampa in August. The hotel public areas are very nice. Great pool outdoor marina and pool... More

Stayed one night prior to our Western Caribbean cruise. Room very nice; quiet high floor. Staff friendly from check-in through valet parking check-out. Stayed here winter 2011 also and enjoyed our stay then, as well. Lovely lobby and the lobby bar is very popular. Free WiFi is only available in lobby, so it was a very popular place for guests....

Except for getting to the property - everything was wonderful. The customer service was outstanding, and the room was great including the view. It was so beautiful to see the full moon rising on the horizon from our room. My son loved the pool - even though it was a chilly January day in Florida, because it is fully in... More

We stay at the Tampa Marriott Waterside every year for a winter conference. It is a great conference hotel, although this year we seemed to have an above average amount of technical issues in the sesssions. The location is excellent. We try to catch a Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game when in town. The Forum is literally right across the... More

I stayed here for a business conference, and was pleasantly surprised. The location was great and there were lots of places nearby to run/walk. I had a room on the 23rd floor, with great views West. I could watch the cruise ships head out every afternoon! The service was excellent, and the rooms were fine. The beds were just a... More
