A beautiful hotel with tons to do
Pros:

We stayed at the Westin for Gasparilla race weekend. Our room was a junior suite overlooking the bay. It was beautiful and quiet. We had amazing check in service and Roberto was great at putting us in a great room. Great restaurants attached to the hotel so I would say the location has the perfect atmosphere. We would definitely stay there again.

My Home away from Home
Pros:

I stay here for business on a monthly basis and have yet to have a bad experience. From the amazing Valet staff, front desk, bar/restaurant staff and housekeeping has always been a welcoming experience. On this last visit, CJ at the front desk was very helpful and provided great customer service when I had to extend my stay.

Subpar hotel but still expensive
Pros:

This hotel was very below average. The Front Desk staff didn’t seem to know what they were doing, gave me a handicap room ( I am not handicapped.) when I asked them about it they insisted it was a typical room. The room smelled musty, and the mattress was horrible

Overall, a solid choice for a quick business trip.
Pros:

I had a great 2-night business stay at the Westin Tampa Bay. The location was convenient to the airport, check-in was smooth, and the room was clean, quiet, and comfortable—perfect for getting work done and resting after meetings. The waterfront view was a nice bonus. Overall, a solid choice for a short business trip.

Great location on downtown Tampa
Pros:

Good hotel, very convenient to the convention center and the arena. Nice restaurants close by. First room was kind of dingy and overlooked the parking lot. They moved us upon request without issues. Friendly staff.

Tampa Work & Leisure
Pros:

The Westin Tampa is hands down my favorite hotel when I'm staying in Tampa for work or leisure. It's located right on the water and in a prime location to all the restaurants and bars. I've stayed at this location multiple times and will continue to do so. Along with that, the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and accommodating.
