Top Sparkman Wharf Hotel Reviews

Mint House Tampa Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for myself and family with kitchen and pool! Parking downtown was a little tricky but we figured it out. Definitely recommend!"

Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room Staff was helpful"

Tampa Marriott Water Street

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and polite!!"

Hilton Tampa Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a great stay! The staff were super nice, and the room was clean and comfortable. However, I didn’t expect valet parking to be $55 a day, which felt quite expensive. Also, there was only one working elevator, especially during the checkout timeframe. My husband, other guests, and I waited 7+ minutes for an elevator. Eventually, we decided to press the up button so we could catch an elevator that wasn’t as full, ride back down to the lobby, and check out. One thing I really liked about the location is that it’s close to the TECO streetcar line, which connects the Tampa Convention Center, Amalie Arena, Sparkman Wharf, and Centro Ybor. That made getting around Tampa very convenient. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and the friendly staff and convenient location were definitely highlights."

Hyatt House Tampa Downtown

8/10 Good

"Room 804 has a loose toilet and the shower door doesn’t remain closed when showering"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"The young lady who checked us in was very pleasant and took excellent care of us. If not for her we honestly would never use your hotel again."

Hotel Haya

10/10 Excellent

"10/10"

ROOST Tampa

8/10 Good

"Great apartment to stay in and fantastic location. Draw back is how many dogs there are in the place and the dog drewl in the lifts. As someone who is allergic to dogs this is not great"

Residence Inn By Marriott Tampa Downtown

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean, staff were great, and the downtown Tampa location felt safe and convenient. That said, the hotel is mid-renovation, and it shows: no lobby seating area, no dedicated breakfast space, and the breakfast itself was bare-minimum (limited hot food options, no real place to sit and eat). The most frustrating detail: coffee in the lobby was cut off at 9:55 AM, five minutes before breakfast service even ended at 10:00 AM. If you're running a few minutes late or want a second cup, you're out of luck. Waiving parking fees during the renovation period would have gone a long way toward softening the inconvenience, especially for first-time guests forming their initial impression of the property. Would I stay again? Maybe once renovations are complete — but not during this phase."
