I was here 3 nights on business. I did not use the gym, the beach, or the restaurant/bar Aqua. The hotel had no vacancies. The staff were courteous and helpful when I arrived and at other times. Phones calls to the hotel before arriving were handled professionally and they provided great customer service. My room was very clean, had a mini fridge, and a complimentary water in the room. The room was spacious and the view of the bay was good. I could not have asked for a better experience. One elevator did not work, but they have a total of 3 and the other 2 worked without issue. With a full hotel I did not experience any issues getting an elevator when needed. They are doing some construction and the staff notified us of the times we might hear noise via an email (construction times were very reasonable). I saw no signs of construction, the hotel is doing a great job keeping the hotel appearance up to normal during the construction. I only heard construction noise during one day in the afternoon for a couple of hours, but it was minimal and not noisy enough to affect phone calls or TV watching. Our event included a group meal in one of their large meeting spaces. The meal was extremely well prepared and presented. The hotel did a great job of catering the event. Read less

The hotel is kind of dingy. Gross carpets, gym is dirty, no hot water in the showers, one elevator doesn’t work. Generally expect better from a Westin and for the price we paid. Good things are there is a Starbucks in the hotel, the restaurant is good and the staff is very friendly.

I walk into my room & there is a full size treadmill in my BEDROOM!! Yet, there is NO refrigerator. Really? No possible way to have cold water when I want it?? Unacceptable. Valet was not there when I came back in the evening. Luckily a manager(?) parked my car for me.... I offered to self park it. No fride, No Ice maker on the floor.... call down & I ask for ice to chill my water bottles. -- TIP : USE the garbage cans for coolers!!!!! This place is a slight dump. Until they finish with " renovations" .... ( what ever those are) ---- STAY AWAY. Find a better area. Oh, and .... the toilet won't stop draining & filling... uurrrggggg ... I will inform my company to not spend the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ on this location ever again. --- Good Luck & hope this saved you some anguish.. ~~ KRAZY!! Read less

I was really looking forward to enjoying a nice evening at Aqua in the Westin Tampa Bay, but unfortunately, the experience was a huge letdown. My friends and I decided to sit at the bar, but it was unbearably hot. It felt like the AC was off, and there was no air circulating at all. This is Florida—proper air conditioning is a must!

I was really looking forward to enjoying a nice evening at Aqua in the Westin Tampa Bay, but unfortunately, the experience was a huge letdown. My friends and I decided to sit at the bar, but it was unbearably hot. It felt like the AC was off, and there was no air circulating at all. This is Florida—proper air conditioning is a must! After ordering a drink, we couldn't take the heat anymore and had to leave the bar to finish our drinks in the lobby, where at least the temperature was comfortable. For a place that prides itself on being upscale, this was simply unacceptable. Read less
