What guests think

At Aloft - Tampa Downtown, travellers praise the friendly staff and lively, modern vibe, plus a central, walkable location along the Riverwalk that works well for concerts, university visits, and downtown exploring.

Rooms range from spacious with river views to small or dark with awkward lighting and limited storage, and some guests report street noise. Facilities get mixed feedback: a fun lobby, bar and pool scene, but occasional closures, renovations, or cleanliness issues, plus valet-only parking that many find pricey. Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, with positive reports alongside stains, musty odors, sporadic pests, and intermittent hot water or HVAC troubles. Expect a lively, central stay with standout service but trade-offs in room layout, noise, and parking.

Property was centrally located, easily accessible. Clean, updated, modern decor; nice hotel in a great location with a great view. Valet was the problem. First off, if their garage is full they’ll park your vehicle a couple blocks away in an unsecured parking lot (not sure if it’s monitored overnight but I doubt it). That isn’t why I paid what I did for valet. If I was ok with my car being parked in an open, off-property facility I would’ve parked it myself. Then the valet failed to put my truck in park somehow and my battery died overnight. That valet came running back up to me and made me go get my vehicle myself. I had to get my truck jumpstarted via my insurance company and it made us late for our plans. At least they refunded me my valet, and they refunded my room, just buyer beware.

Stayed at the Aloft due to proximity of the events we were in town for. Great location and views of the riverwalk. We were looking forward to enjoying the pool area since it was such a hot weekend! To our disappointment, the pool was FILTHY...completely brown and there was even caution tape tied to the railing. Also came home to our first day there, and our room was never even touched. No notice that they would not be there daily, or we would have planned accordingly. Hallways were extremely hot & humid - luckily our room was not. Would have to be a good deal to consider the hotel again.

The Aloft is in an excellent downtown location. It's clean, and the décor is hip and fun. The staff was super friendly. The price is right. An area of improvement for this Aloft would be the pool deck. The travertine pavers around the pool are dangerously hot. They also need more shade/umbrellas.

Great location and wonderful stay. The only reason it wasn’t a perfect stay is that the pool was being updated during our stay and the only option for parking is through valet and unfortunately lost our keys for a few hours. Other than that the hotel is beautiful and the location makes it easy to get around.

Location excellent. Staff friendly. But. Paid extra for River view. Only view of the river was from the toilet. Room not clean. Grey stains dripping down bathroom wall. “Cafe” had only refrigerated food and no microwave there or in room - or even on our floor! Heat/AC glitchy. Set to 72 would go up once - then back to 62. Saturday afternoon they played extremely loud booming music by pool. Shook the room. “Closet” rod wasn’t even a foot long. No night lights. Only glaring overhead lights in bathroom. Had to pay $44/day for parking. The battery in our brand new car was completely dead when we picked it up. They had parked it and left it running.

Overall the experience was decent, customer service was very good and efficient. Our biggest concern was our room, it had a very strong and unpleasant chemical smell and not everything was cleaned decently. There were some stains here and there in the vanity area, and the coffee maker itself had a used coffee pod/bag from the last residents I would presume. Also there is no self-parking options, the only parking available being valet which charged $40 tax a night, but then again it being in the middle of downtown it's somewhat understandable. I had only wished the room was a tad bit more cleaner.

Just stay somewhere else. The rooms are not cleaned regularly, and some even smell like sewage. They keep the air cold, so you don't notice the essence of mold and mildew. The "remodel" left bathroom with poor drainage, shower doors that don't close, and more mold than your home tile. Not to mention unexpected charges for a "fuel station" that you probably won't touch with a 10-foot pole.

Overall, it was a good stay. It was just overnight for a concert, and we were close to the venue which was great. They upgraded us to a suite which was nice. But the room set up was a little weird. There were two big concrete columns in the room and where they positioned the tv, you couldn't see it with column in front, and it was at an angle to the second bed. The lights were a pain. Just three switches on the wall in the middle of the room near bathroom. No lamp by the bed at all. The shower curtain proved to be the biggest issue, as it wasn't vinyl/plastic, but flimsy fabric and when I took a shower, water flooded the bathroom floor. But I could not figure out how to just run the water for a bath either. I ended up putting the shower head in the tub and letting it fill that way. Crazy. The hotel does have a great vibe and aesthetic. No restaurant though. A small menu at the bar, and I ordered the flatbread which was delicious. Everyone working there was pleasant and eager to help. Valet service was great as well.

Me and my friend had such a good time at aloft. The staff were amazing and at the end there was confusion when I checked out, I got charged for a night at the hotel even though I already paid through Expedia. The lady at the front desk (I wish I remembered her name) immediately remedied the situation and refunded my money. Can’t recommend this hotel and location enough! Thank you for a great weekend in Tampa!

Front desk representatives were rude! They didn’t say a word to us at check in until they had to tell us that the room we reserved was overbooked and that there was nothing they could do about it. I asked if we would be refunded the difference and they said it could take weeks and it “was only $50.” So after going back and forth with them, we agreed to a $50 bar credit. We go to the bar and guess what? Bar is closed. THEN, I see a $268 charge on my bank account for a smoking fee the day after we checked out. We never smoked in that room and I’m still having to fight them to have this falsely charged fee given back to us. I have no problem paying for a fee that we owe however, we would never smoke in a hotel room! I can’t making this stuff up - it was the most ridiculous hotel experience we’ve ever had and their claim to make things right if your stay isn’t 10/10 is a complete lie.

We liked the unconventional setup of the room and the overall modern look and feel of it. The area around the hotel was extremely noisy with cars and motorcycles loudly revving engines and racing up and down the main road nearly all day and night. The room was fairly soundproof but not totally. Also, on the second night there was a large leak from the room above and several calls to the front desk unanswered. The leaking finally subsided but without response from the front desk or management. No one seemed to care very much. But that seems to be the overall attitude of the Marriott Corporation as of late.

In addition the microwave was located down the hallway by the ice machine it was very dirty .
