We rode Amtrak ftom WPB - Tampa Union Station quick Uber to Marriott. Perfect lication right on river & the Tampa Convention center on 1 side & Amalie Arena on the otherside..easy stroll to both..Riverwalk is a beautiful walk-water taxi & other transports available. Free trolley station is right across the street. You can walk or ride the trolley to Sparkmans Wharf ,Florida Aquarium,Tampa history center & Columbia cafe .The hotels gift shop /convenience store had a great variety of snacks/essentials & gifts..The Lona restaurant on site is beautifully decorated & the Mexican food is top notch. Anchor & Brine is on-site also but I didn't dine there.They have a new coffee café opening up & right next door is the ice cream shop Bright Ice..Also the cruise ship Port is next to Aquarium. We will be going back in cooler weather.

Disappointed
Jul 22, 2025TravelerTeam3Ankeny, Iowa
Was treated very poorly by the front desk and management. I am a long time Marriott rewards member titanium level and never seen anything like this. Would not recommend. Seems to be a nice location and a nice property, so very disappointing.
Nice hotel
Jul 8, 2025rcwtDavie, Florida
Nice hotel in a good location with nice views of the water. Brenda and Shasha at the front desk were very helpful. Farren in the concierge lounge is amazing. She was super friendly and keeps the lounge spotless and well stacked. Would be great to have some mini omelettes or cheese on the eggs.
What an amazing stay (:

I am a Lifetime Gold Elite member with Marriott, with over 500 nights stayed across your properties. It’s deeply disappointing to have to write this. I was erroneously charged $485 for food and beverages I did not purchase. My folio, the Marriott app, my credit card statement, and even the front desk all show conflicting information. Despite multiple attempts, I’ve received no response from hotel management, and customer service has offered little to no support. This situation has caused significant frustration and wasted time. I expect this to be addressed and resolved promptly. I will update my review once Marriott takes responsibility and corrects the error.
