I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Westin Tampa Waterside. The location is fantastic, offering beautiful harbor views, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. However, the hotel feels somewhat outdated and has some maintenance issues that need attention. Additionally, noise from the nearby riverwalk made it challenging to get a good night's sleep.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Westin Tampa Waterside, especially the amazing views of the harbor and the great location close to the Amalia Arena. However, I was disappointed with the dining options and the service during meals, which felt a bit lacking at times. Overall, I had a pleasant experience but there were definitely areas for improvement.

I was really let down by the dining experience. The buffet breakfast was overpriced for what it offered, and the food quality didn’t match my expectations for a $500/night hotel.

I had a mixed experience at The Westin Tampa Waterside. While the location is fantastic and the staff were outstandingly friendly, the hotel itself feels like it needs a refresh. The beds were incredibly comfortable, but other aspects, like the outdated decor and noise levels at night, left much to be desired.

Dining options were limited, with no in-room service available after 9 pm, which was a bit of a letdown. The breakfast did offer a decent selection but didn't quite match what I've enjoyed at other hotels.

The pool area had a great view but felt neglected and the service there was not adequate at times. Other facilities like housekeeping left something to be desired as my room wasn't cleaned the next day.

My recent stay at The Westin Tampa Waterside had its highs and lows. I appreciated the location with its fantastic bay view and proximity to local attractions, but I encountered significant issues with room service and overall service quality. The dining options were lacking, and I found some amenities disappointing, which detracted from my experience.

The location was excellent, right on Harbour Island with easy access to downtown, museums, and waterside restaurants. The views were definitely one of the highlights of my stay.
Dining

Dining was one of the weaker aspects of my visit. There was no in-room dining, limited restaurant hours, and a breakfast buffet that did not live up to the price, with cold food options.

Facilities were also disappointing; no pool available, and the elevators had safety issues with doors padlocked. I expected better from a Westin hotel.
