This appears to be a budget hotel that once was a Hilton property that needs a major restoration. A very tired hotel. Very disappointed that Expedia even had it as a choice. The red flag was that it didn't have a brand name so no standards to meet. Best attribute were the Valet outside who were very happy to meet you but inside the opposite was true.

The pool is decent and right on the Riverwalk, which was very convenient. It gets great sun there. There’s a nice pool bar. The drinks are a little pricey for what they are. The beds are definitely not equipped to hold a man and a woman without sleeping basically arm to arm they’re probably full beds not queens. staff was friendly and attentive.

My stay at hotel Tampa riverwalk was underwhelming. The bathroom was filthy and outdated, the room was hot and musty, the view that I paid extra for was of the roof of the ballroom and I encountered a handful of problems during my stay. I had book (and paid extra per day) a wheel in accessible shower room with a river view. When I checked in they told me that I did not book a river view and that I booked a wheelchair accessible shower room that was currently not available at the moment (4pm is check in time and I arrived at 3:58pm). After some back and forth about the accessibility of the room. They “upgraded” us to a river view with a wheelchair accessible bathroom but it had a tub which was very annoying for my wheelchair bound niece. The river view was of the roof of the conference room and we could barely see the river. My niece that was with me is wheelchair bound and was looking forward to a nice view but couldn’t see anything. At one point during our stay our room keys stopped working. Front desk gave us new keys but that didn’t fix the problem so they had to call for maintenance and said it’ll be about 5-10 minutes. An hour later someone showed up after I went down to the front desk multiple times. They did give us one drink and one breakfast voucher for the wait which was nice but nothing could make up for the hour wasted waiting around for three batteries. Overall the price of the hotel does not match the quality. Not worth it.

The weekend was cold and rainy, we stayed Friday to Monday. The heat did not work in our room. We told staff but nothing was ever done. We asked for extra blankets, we were given 1 for 4 of us. They finally offered to switch us rooms, new room right next door same problem. They gave us space heaters that popped the circuits in the middle of the night. We couldn’t charge phone, watch tv or turn on lights. Our complaints were not taken seriously. They offered us a discount but honestly they should have given a full refund. Such a joke and acted like we were the problem because we are young people. I wouldn’t stay there again and I’m still waiting for phone call from General Manager Luke. Who I try calling and get a person to answer the phone.

Hotel Tampa Riverwalk is normally my go to for visiting my daughter at UTampa, but I may be looking elsewhere. Checked into our room and there was an overwhelming smell of pot. I noticed that night that both my sink and shower were barely draining and we were only given 2 towels for 3 guests. First thing the next morning I reported needing towels and the drains and was told someone would handle it. We can back to the room around 5, our room wasn’t clean, there were no extra towels and the drains were still backed up. I asked for towels yet again and nothing. At that point I went downstairs to ask yet again for at least towels because we needed to shower before dinner. Nothing! I finally saw a housekeeping cart and just took my own. They kept claiming they were busy, which I understand, but not providing towels or drains that work is unacceptable.

The AC never cooled for my stay and it reached temperature as much as 80°. I asked to even move to another room since maintenance couldn't get it working correctly and they said they were sold out. Secondly, I asked for housekeeping four times on my second day and no one ever showed up. I finally complained for the last time after 5:00 p.m. and they said they were out of towels for the day and all they could give me was a few hand towels. This was the extent of my cleaning for the day that I'd asked for four times.

Paid $400 per night for rooms that resemble a motel 6. Rooms were dirty somebody else’s hair everywhere in the bathroom, dirty makeup mirror with smeared lip stick and who knows what else from previous guest. food is terrible And extreamly over priced. they charge you for every little thing possible. A beer is $15 there was no music at the pool just stale atmosphere definitely not a vibe.
Valet parking attendants are a bunch of younge kids who literally skerted off in our car spinning the wheels out with no consideration. They don’t even had you the keys for you to leave they just throw them in the car and leave the doors open for whoever to just walk up and get in it. Very unprofessional
Bartender just complained the whole time about having no help like she hated her job and killed the mood to the point we left we was here for a good time not your Negitive energy. Bar is infested with bees. Flaying around your face and drinks.
Honestly save yourself and choose a different place to stay because this was sooo not worth it.
Very disappointed in the stay.
Not to mention the $25 they give you for food don’t really cover anything because there taxing so much you still have to pay.

The hotel is dingy, run-down, and you can see all the seams. The carpet is frying in every hallway and in my room, there was a stain on the sheets of my bed when I arrived. The street side (or \"City\" side) is extremely noisy from cars, ambulances, honking, and construction. That's not their fault, but be aware when booking.

Just kind of a dingy place for the price.

But, not a bad trip by Uber.

we came to this hotel and stayed Jan 29 to Feb 01.
when we checked into the hotel, the person at the desk gave us our keys and directed us to our room.
we get to the room and we notice it is cold in the room and thermostat does not work. I called the front desk and they sent someone up to fix the heat, they said they fixed it and it should all be ok. the weather was ok that day and we didn't use it much. on Saturday it was very cold, and the heat went out during the night, the room was freezing. they again sent someone up to the room to fix heat. again they looked at furnace and said it was all good. in reality they didnt fix anything, the furnace was overloaded somehow and tripping the circuit breaker. all they did was flipped the breaker back and said it was going to be good. not really, we were out of the hotel and came back late that day and was not working again.
i found the breaker myself and flipped it on and got it working for the night.
I complained again the next morning and they said the would help me out and take off the amemites fee off the bill. i had no idea what this even was, because it was not mentioned to me when i checked in.
i had prepaid for this trip, and had spent hundreds of dollars at this hotel already that weekend.
i would not recommend this hotel, due to the multiple issues we had, heat not working, staff that is untrained, and service staff that is unskilled on mechanical repairs.

The hotel structure could use some repairs though: peeling paint in the bathroom, frayed carpet in the room & halls, very well worn floors & walls in the elevator. Also, there was not alarm clock in the room, not any information about room service or onsite restaurant menu or hours. Overall a good spot, especially the location with a river view, but could use a bit of work.
