We stayed at The Tampa Edition for a few days prior to embarking on a cruise out of Tampa. The hotel itself was great, our room was spacious and modern, the staff were all friendly and helpful, and the in-house restaurants and bar were excellent.

The rooms are small, the pool is over rated and they just let anyone in the pool area off the street. We did a three day couples getaway and every single day we were bombarded by groups of 20 some things coming into the pool area with boom boxes and taking over the place.

The rooms are small, the pool is over rated and they just let anyone in the pool area off the street. We did a three day couples getaway and every single day we were bombarded by groups of 20 some things coming into the pool area with boom boxes and taking over the place. The service for the hotel was not good, they said it was based on them being too busy at the time because they had so many concerts in the area. If you had a complaint they didn’t care. Too expensive for what they have to offer. We won’t be back. Read less

We had trouble finding a hotel due to spring break and got lucky when we noticed a room open up at the Edition. I had heard great things from others but expectations were in check due to the hotel being at capacity and a disastrous stay at another hotel leading up to our stay. We could not have been happier with how things turned out. You cannot walk a second without someone from the hotel offering a warm greeting. From the second we arrived, we received exceptional service from the valet and at check in. The room was immaculate and spacious with great views. The pool area was well-maintained despite how busy the hotel was. Every meal we had was also terrific. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Read less

This hotel is incredible. Every element and detail felt high end from the smell of the hotel, the quality of pool lounge chairs, the hardwood floors, the decor, and so much more. Service was wonderful, particularly the pool waitresses- so attentive and friendly. Then there are the plants- everywhere! It’s like staying somewhere exotic and tropical… Read more
This hotel is incredible. Every element and detail felt high end from the smell of the hotel, the quality of pool lounge chairs, the hardwood floors, the decor, and so much more. Service was wonderful, particularly the pool waitresses- so attentive and friendly. Then there are the plants- everywhere! It’s like staying somewhere exotic and tropical and amazing. We’ll definitely be staying at this hotel again in the future! Read less

We enjoyed our stay at the Edition for 2 nights. We had a lovely, cozy room. Staff were nice. However the hotel is not well managed. 1. Called for a wake up call. No one responded on the phone twice. So went downstairs and asked personally. 2. However no one called us as requested to wake us up. 3. At breakfast we were told we needed to wait 10 minutes by the receptionist and that we could go to the take out cafe a few yards away, if we did not want to wait, When we were informed we could not get toast, we returned to the receptionist. Fortunately the Manager was there and offered us a table immediately. There were many tables available. 4. Toast was served with no plates. When we asked we were only offered one plate. Had to request a second plate. 5. No teaspoons on both days for our coffee to put sugar. When we asked we were offered large table spoons, 6. Went to roof top pool at 10;15 AM. They were cleaning and was told by attendant that he thought the pool was "closed." I responded that the pool was open between sunrise and sunset. So he let us use the pool. 7. I asked for towels. Was told he would come and set up the chairs. I explained I only needed towels as we wanted to swim and return to our room. He responded he wanted to offer us a luxurious experience. I then responded we did not need a luxurious experience. 8. At check out the bill did not include a soda we had drank two days before. In most hotels they check the bar every morning. Clearly they don't bother. When I explained it was a small grapefruit soda. the check out Agent was unable to find it. Said he would charge me later and E mail me with the charge. These problems were "minor" but it gives the impression the staff are not well trained. We still enjoyed our stay and have no regrets. Our room had a view of an office building. If one wants a view it costs about $100 to $200 more a night. Read less
