The stay was ok due to the air conditioning in all the balconies not working prior to my arrival which resulted in a change in rooms. I was looking forward to a balcony stay and I booked the room 6 months in advance to have that convenience. I do understand that it was out of the hotel's control but because there was a very large conference being held at the convention center, there was no rooms conducive to me exchanging hotels or paying at least $500 more dollars. The staff was very accommodating and attentive to my questions.

Beware. When we arrived late at night, the hotel had already checked someone else into the room reserved under my name. No one informed us of any issue at check-in. When I tried to enter the room, the door wouldn't open because the security latch was engaged from inside. Thankfully, I was with my husband.
At the front desk, the clerk showed little concern and casually explained that someone with the same last name had been checked in under my reservation. I repeatedly told him that I didn't know that person, but he remained focused on trying to unlock the room instead of addressing the obvious safety issue. Even after I kept saying someone was inside, he seemed to ignore my concerns and discussed the situation with maintenance. We were then sent back to the room, where the maintenance employee knocked, and the person inside answered.
The entire situation was alarming. Had I been alone, I could have unknowingly walked into an occupied room, creating a potentially dangerous situation. I requested a full refund and left immediately.
The next day, the manager called and referred to the incident as a \"minor hiccup.\" A guest being assigned an occupied room is not a minor mistake—it's a serious safety concern. The lack of urgency, accountability, and professionalism made this an unacceptable experience.

Excellent location!! Right on the Riverwalk. Can walk nearby to UTampa, multiple restaurants and coffee shops, and Harbour Island. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the laundry machine ruined some of our clothes. And I didn’t love the public pool parties they hosted on weekends. But if that’s your thing, then you’d love it!

Went to check in and they told me they didn’t have the double queen tha I reserved. So they gave me a room with one bed. I had two children that had to sleep on the floor. I called them a week before coming and told them I have a dually and I asked if it was going to be OK to park. They informed me “ sure our valet will take care of you no problem”. When I arrive, the valet parking attendant tells me my truck is too big and I have to take it to a lot. That is about five blocks down the street. So I had to go and park my vehicles there and walk all the way back. Therefore, I had to walk there and back each time. I wanted to use my vehicle. On top of that they gave me a tag to put in my windshield and told me there would be no issue parking there. Well, I received four parking tickets $55 each during my stay. I was not informed that there was a pool party both nights that I was staying there. So as far as ordering food, I could only order hotdog or chicken wings because that’s what they were making for the pool party. Which had absolutely nothing to do with me or the other guests who were staying in the hotel. This pool party was strictly for outside people that were not even guests at that hotel. I do not see how that is fair at all. They did not clean the rooms every day like they said they would. I had to go and get towels every day. But the worst part was getting $220 in parking tickets and my children having to sleep on the floor. It’s unacceptable and I willneverstayagai

Room was clean. Close to a few good restaurants, walkable to Publix, Nice walk along the river. Something like 15 minutes from Tampa Stadium. Only 1 packet of a small cup of coffee for a suite room. I did not use the bar or have breakfast. City view over hotel entrance not great. No surface area and luggage racks to place luggage. Bathroom area small but has shelving to store small items. Although an enclosed shower and toilet, it would be nice if the sink and small counter was enclosed for privacy and light shining into the sleep area right around the corner.

There was ZERO insulation from noise in the rooms- you could hear everything from both inside and outside the hotel even on the 4th floor. I could hear conversations of people on the street and in the hallways and elevators. The room doors all slammed shut which reverberated down the hallways. You could hear conversations of people in the rooms above, below, next door and across the hallways.

Overall, our stay was really good. Some downsides include: the rooms not having microwaves and the communal ones were very dirty; the one day we got room service, it seemed like the bare minimum was done, however, when we first arrived everything was great; I wish there were a car port or larger area for check in because it got really congested and was confusing coming in; lastly, it got a bit noisy in the evening with guests coming in and out of rooms as well as partying at the bar.

We had a two night stay at aloft Downtown Tampa apon arrival we asked about early check-in. They did not disclose that it would be a $50 charge, but they gave us the room anyway as we got to the room we realized the room had an odor we called down to the lobby multiple times asking if there was something they could do about it. Front desk said they would send somebody to check on the smell. We never got anyone in the room, the next morning we saw housekeeping we asked them if they could do something about the smell when we came back to the hotel. Nothing was done about the smell there was staining on the blankets stains on the wall mold in the corners of the shower dirt and dust buildup on coffee pot personal in our room were thrown away.

The only redeeming quality of this hotel is the staff. The beds are so hard you might as well sleep on the floor, pillows are flat as paper, parking is valet only at $44/day, and despite having a \"newly renovated\" room, the shower was rusty with broken tiles. Our hot water wasn't working the first day we arrived either.
The rooms are not well sound protected so we heard our neighbors speaking and flushing the toilets (which are super loud) along with every door slamming and rustling in the hallway. I travel for work and am no stranger to hotel noise but this was excessive.
I dont know if other hotels in the area have this problem but the windows are so poor quality you hear every single car that passes by (even from the 5th floor). Highly recommend staying anywhere else.

The staff were very friendly and definitely made a point to make us feel welcomed and acknowledged each time we entered and exited the hotel. We were pleasantly surprised with the range of games available in the lounge area - it provided us a fun place to hang out and occupy ourselves without additional costs.

The room itself was clean and provided the basics. We only stayed 2 nights so didn't feel like we were lacking.

We booked the hotel due to the walkability to the arena so for that the location was good. Our only \"downsides\" were the strong smell of sewer in the area (not the hotel's fault) and the noise. Our room faced the street and we heard sirens and cars all night so the sound proofing wasn't the best. Rooms facing the river may be better.

Lastly, it could be the time of year we travelled or maybe the area of the city (or maybe we don't know where to look) but we found the restaurant scene to be a bit lackluster. On a Saturday night it felt like many of the restaurants near the hotel were empty or just generally pretty quiet.
