Top University Hotel Reviews

The Westshore Grand, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Tampa

10/10 Excellent

"Only one elevator working."

The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were great. We appreciated the shuttle service. The location was great with easy access to the river walk and plenty of amenities nearby. There were two less than ideal things about the stay: they charge $20 a night to park onsite. There were always plenty of vacant spaces so it wasn't like there was a premium on spaces. Suggest stop charging guests for that enormous parking lot. I realize the restaurant attached to it is independently run (at least I think), but the food was mediocre with small portions. We only ate there once and that was enough. BUT the facilities and staff were great."

Holiday Inn Tampa Westshore - Airport Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room and view. I got a last minute hotel before my morning flight to relax and this was just what I wanted. I arrived around 8 ish at night and was checked in happily and hospitably. They informed me about everything and I went to my room . Very accommodating room . Nice view overlooking the pool and Tampa . I went and checked out the gym as I always do for no good reason but it was very nice if you actually workout ! Then I went to the hot tub/ spa portion of the pool area - which could've had more water in it but i managed and I wasn't complaining . A family was playing in the pool and after they left I was able to do a couple laps and look at the storm heading our way. Afterwards I made my wazy to the bar with about 40 minutes left before they closed. Lisa made some great dirty martinis for me and I was able to take two little can drinks that were on special back to my room . I was shocked at how little my bill was for 2 very good 😉 martinis and two (nurtl) cans all for 38 . Which sometimes a martini will cost in a hotel bar. I went to my room and watched some zoutube I was able to stream from my phone and slept like a baby in the comfy bed and linens. I was up early for the morning flight and there's conveniently a shell station across the street - as I had rented a car and needed to refil. The airport is literally 1 mile down the road and pretty easy to navigate . All in all fabulous experience. Thank you ."

Sailport Waterfront Suites

8/10 Good

"The room was very nice, spacious and clean. There was a few things that I did not like for the price point. Such as the outdated furnishings, located inside of the living room area and the kitchen also no pots and pans are stored inside of the room which is another inconvenience. The rug was very rigid.I'm guessing from vacuuming.\nThe view was nice.However , I wish we had more access to the water from the hotel"

Four Points by Sheraton Suites Tampa Airport Westshore

8/10 Good

"The floor kept getting moist from A/C: carpet and laminate flooring! Not a bad stay, the room was clean and I did not try food on-site. Should also notify everyone that comes also that there will be parking fees. I was very unaware of this because I had 2 vehicles there and had to pay over $80 for 2 nights, which is ridiculous to me. If I had known I would not have chosen this site."
