Tampa Marriott Water Street

Nice restaurants, but breakfast was very limited for the price.

A nice property in downtown Tampa on the riverfront. The service at this hotel is outstanding , the rooms are in excellent shape and the bar and restaurants have a variety of offerings. The Weekend Brunch is something you must experience. The Valet Parking has very attentive staff and when we called for our SAV, it always arrived quickly. The property is within walking distance to The Benchmark Arena and The Aquarium. You can also catch the Tram which runs to Ybor City right outside the front door. If your travels bring you to Tampa you should consider this Marriott Hotel!

View was lovely. Room was okay.

I have stayed at this property several times in the past and this stay was exceptional with some minor hiccups. However, it should be noted that having status at this property is a major perk. As usual, I will write the review with PROS & CONS.

PROS:
!. Great location in downtown Tampa right on the water, with amazing views.
2. Employees are well trained and personable.
3. Concierge lounge on 24th floor, has one of the nicest food spreads for evening reception, dessert, and breakfast.
4. Fitness center, very nice, though they had a Peloton bike in the past that isn't there anymore. However, use of the JW Marriott gym which does have a Peloton which regrettably was not set up properly.
5. Excellent pool with great views.
6. Breakfast when lounge is closed is full buffet with omelet station.
7. Beautiful lobby and outside sitting area.

CONS:
1. Valet parking only, normally $55, was $27 for our special event.
2. $35 a day Desiination Fee, (money grab) (waived for our event). While this fee offers $20 in food credit daily and other things you probably won't use, it is useless if you have status and free breakfast and concierge access.
3. Breakfast buffet-free for status $38 a person otherwise.

SUMMARY:
With status or at an event that waives some of the fees a no-brainer, otherwise have to weigh the costs.

Shoutouts to Carl in the Concierge Lounge who has been there 26 years and is amazingly attentive. Also to Cole & Dillon in the JW Marriott Fitness area and the two Enginners who spend 60 minutes trying to get the Peloton to work only to discover that some manager had the code and wasn't available on a holiday weekend.

I wrote an email to hotel management the day I left complimenting these employees and suggesting the code be left on site to avoid future issues, but I never received a reply.

Cheers!

The hotel location was perfect for attending a concert at Benchmark International, and for diniing at the many restaurants to choose from. I might also add, the views from our 24th floor room of the water was spectacular!

Great location and great hotel. Check-in and check-out process was quick and easy. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. Staff was exceptionally polite and helpful. Valet service is quick and on point. Hotel has many options for food and snacks. We had dinner at the Anchor Harbor Rest and everyone in our group loved it. We also had lunch at the Pool bar which was also not only good, but convenient.

Would definitely recommend this hotel is staying in Tampa.

Horrendous experience for this 100% disabled veteran just 24 hours before Memorial Day mind you
In an attempt to book a reservation at the Airport location, after getting the confirmation email, I noticed it was the wrong location. I called immediately (within 10 minutes) and told them what happened. In no way shape or form did they try to help me. In fact, they basically said too bad so sad and still charged me the full rate of the room. The cancelation policy says you have to cancel within 5 days of the reservation. (I booked for 5/24 and was told I needed to cancel by 5/19, which is 5 days in the past). How the hell is that even possible? Why is there not an option for folks booking 24-48 hours in advance?
Im a 100% disabled veteran and cant get around well, which is the reason I wanted to book at the airport to begin with. An honest mistake and got the middle finger. Ill never stay here and as long as I work with other active/retired/disabled veterans, I assure you, they will not either!

The hotel was a perfect location for my event at the conference center. I was so jealous of the people staying at the hotel for fun as they could go to the hockey game nearby and enjoy the hotel amenities. I would definitely stay at this hotel for vacation the next time I am in the Tampa area.
Tip: definitely have drinks or a meal at the restaurant on the deck overlooking the water. It is a great spot.

Nice hotel. Nice and clean rooms. Comfortable rooms. Nice breakfast area at Riverwalk terrace. Nice steakhouse restaurant they got. Amazing vibe in hotel. It seems great hotel. Although they gave me check in at 4:35 pm being ambassador member but they realised it and help with check-in. Restaurants are must try. They got nice bar at the lobby of the hotel. Must try if you are around in Tampa. Nice hotel with vibe.

Beautiful deco

We stayed just one day/night and had a great time, we had come from legoland and wanted a special night before we headed back home.. We checked out the next morning and when we got to the airport I realized I left my airpods in the room I called and messaged the hotel and they told me they would look into and to call back later after housekeeping had a chance to clean the room.. I called this morning and this time they connected me with security and they were not located, however based on my find my app they are now at a random building in fort myers.. I think this Marriott needs to have a talk with their staff as they obviously stole my airpods.. When I first reached out someone should have gone to the room to retrieve them. It was well before our checkout time. So after a lovely yet pricey vacation for my 10 year old I am down $250 for airpods that could’ve easily been retrieved when I first reported them as being left behind.
