The Westin is a decent property but certainly not as nice as some of the neighboring ones, namely the Embassy Suites. I stayed at Harbour Island with my wife and child for a conference and while we didn’t have a bad experience, there also wasn’t anything great to review. Our room was on the 12th floor which was the Starwood... more

My teenager and I decided to tag along with my husband who had to go to the convention center all week, BIG mistake. Downtown Tampa has horrible traffic, it's dangerous (a student and a cop was killed that week), and there is nothing to do. Westin Harbour Island is a horrible hotel. They charge you for everything, parking, emptying the... more

We were supposed to stay at the Westin Tampa Bay Harbour Island but because of a bad case of the flu, had to cancel. The reservation clerk told me that we could not cancel, had to pay for the one night, and that we should have booked with reservations by phone instead of on-line because that was the only way... more

The hotel was really dirty, with remains of hair from the previous guest all over the bathroom. The surfaces have not been cleaned for a long time judging from the amount of dust on everything. In the morning I told the guy from the front desk what my room was like and he seemed mortified by it and said that... more

Not my first stay at this Westin and certainly not my last. Hotel is located on Harbour Island and is right downtown and a quick taxi to Hyde Park or Ybor. Not sure how old the place is but it's definately a little worn down. Escalator in the entrance is loud and squeaks, and in certain areas carpet is worn... more

Contrary to the negative reviews, I found this place very nice. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the staff was exceptionally polite. The only negative I would say is that they charge $15 per day for parking, and the parking area which was in the basement stinks like garbage. more

We checked in on Thursday afternoon, 8/13, and left Sunday afternoon, 8/16 on a mix of business and pleasure. The hotel is getting rather shabby, and is in serious need of some renovation. Carpets are worn, elevators are scratched up and creaking and groaning, and overall the place is looking kind of drab. We noticed as we got up to... more

Despite some of the reviews we read we still booked here in full faith of the Westin name. Upon our unexpected early arrival my wife had us checked in and got a free up grade to a bay view, corner room. My 5 yr. old grand daughter had her Westin Kids Club hat, rubber ducky etc.. all before the suv... more

The Westin Harbour Island featured 12 stories with one operating elevator (out of 3), a hughly squeaking set of escalators desperately in need of maintenance and WD40, stained and chipped furniture and doors and mismatched furniture in the room. Although the bed was comfortable and the TV which featured about 10 channels (analog) only lost its signal twice in four... more
