Aloft Tampa Downtown

I paid for a king bed with a view of the river. The photos on your website showed a huge bay window viewing the river. Unfortunately, the only view of the river my room had was a small window in the bathroom. Even that wasn't good. It mostly faced the bridge going over the river. And just one other small window facing a building. I called the front desk to see if they had a better room available, and they said they were "basically fully booked." It was not worth the $263 I paid for one night. It's just a false advertisement at this point. As we were checking out, I decided to take photos of the room so other people don't get scammed by this false advertisement.

One good thing I did like about the room was the shower. The shower had some good water pressure. My wife liked the smell of the body wash they supplied in the shower.

Expect an additional charge of $35 per night for valet, plus tax. Their valet drive was so tiny and unorganized. We were almost not able to pull in off the street, and there was only one other car in front of us.

There's a few places to eat or drink within walking distance. However we ran into a few places being closed already at 8:00pm on a Saturday night.

The worst hotel in Downtown Tampa. I checked in Friday night. There was hair in my bed in the sink and the shower. There was also mold in the shower. I packed back up and left friday night. The rate was 380 a night and this is what I walk into?!?! Still waiting on a manager to process my refund. Marriott properties has continued to disappoint and I will be sure to stay at a hilton property going foward. I feel bad for the staff becuase there is no direction or leadership from management. Check out the gross shower photos that make this place look like a motel 6. Actually Ive stated in nicer motels.

Colorful and Convenient: Stay at Aloft Downtown Tampa!

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Aloft Downtown Tampa for a business trip, and I must say, it was an experience worth sharing. From the vibrant and spacious ambiance to the added convenience of valet parking, this hotel had its charms. Finding parking in downtown Tampa can be a challenge, so having valet service was definitely a plus.

However, one minor downside was the inability to call from the room and request the car to be ready a few minutes prior to departure. Perhaps it was due to the hotel being busy during my stay, with a high demand for valet services and potentially fewer staff members available. Nonetheless, this was not a significant issue but something I would have appreciated.

Upon arrival, I made my way to the modern industrial-style lobby bar, where the bartender skillfully crafted a Moscow mule for me. It was the perfect refreshment after a long journey. Although I didn't explore their food options, as I had plans to dine with friends in the Tampa area, I found the lobby bar to be a trendy spot.

One aspect that stood out was the hotel's excellent location. It took me only four minutes by car to reach the venue for my meeting the following day. The convenience of being close to my destination was a definite advantage.

As for the room, I opted for the top-floor suite with a balcony. The modern/industrial decor style, typical of Aloft hotels, was beautifully reflected in the room's design. The balcony provided a breathtaking view of Tampa's waterway, adding a touch of awe to my stay. However, it's worth mentioning that there were multiple "no smoking" signs on the balcony, which, as a cigar enthusiast, was a slight disappointment. Given the splendid view, it would have been enjoyable to indulge in a cigar while taking it all in.

Regarding the cost, I found it slightly higher than expected for a three-star hotel. However, considering its prime location, it was understandable. While Aloft Downtown Tampa may not be my top choice in the Tampa area, I would have no reservations about staying there again if the opportunity arises.

In conclusion, my visit to Aloft Downtown Tampa left a positive impression. Its vibrant atmosphere, convenient amenities like valet parking, and the stylish lobby bar made for a memorable experience. The stunning view from the balcony of the well-appointed suite added a touch of elegance. Although there were minor inconveniences, they did not overshadow the overall satisfaction of my stay. If you're looking for a colorful and conveniently located hotel in Tampa, Aloft Downtown is worth considering.

Drink prices are crazy. Went for an networking event June 30th. 37.80 for 2 drinks. One a double shot. An the other just a regular shot.

Rooms were dated but clean, service was good and location is excellent, price is very reasonable.

Cute boutique Hotel. Pool and bar atmosphere is great!?
