Would have been great if the hotel wasn’t being rennovated
Pros:

The location and free shuttles

Cons:

The property was being rennovated so it was very noisy and the pool was closed. We weren’t informed before going. We asked for a discount via booking. Com but the hotel never replied

Exceptional Service from Christina at the Front Desk
Pros:

I had a wonderful experience at the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel upon checking in.

I stayed at the hotel two weekends ago, and when I returned again last Saturday, I was impressed and pleasantly surprised that Christina at the front desk remembered me. Her warm welcome and personal attention was appreciated.

Christina is a wonderful representative of the Renaissance Hotel. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made my stay even more enjoyable.

Pros:

The location and room size was very good. Also airport shuttle was very efficient.

Cons:

The fact that they did not tell me that there were major renovations going on at the property which meant the pool and gym were closed and had to use the sister hotel via hotel shuttle. I scored this low due to the fact that the hotel was under renovation and they did not mention it

Our favourite TPA airport hotel. Could use a refresh.
Pros:

Proximity to TPA. Love the courtyard rooms…so quiet.

Cons:

When we checked in, they said that we were upgraded. We ended up with a handicap room, so was likely a bit larger, but right next to the ice machine and elevator. Not sure I’d consider that an upgrade.

Over Priced - Under Served
Pros:

The the location, that is it. I would never have been here besides that. everything else what lack-luster. Bad service, high price. I do not recommend.

Cons:

This hotel is expensive, however the rooms are unimpressive and noisy. for the price I paid, it is not worth it. the AC is very loud and wake you up all night, and this is with a "courtyard view" room. They deceive you. This is a low end hotel pretending to be high end.
