We stayed here one night before heading out of Tampa on a cruise. The location was perfect & the area was safe & very clean. Lots of options for food & shopping. Perfect size suite for our family of 4. Loved the separate shower room & bathroom so we could get ready for the day quickly! Breakfast buffet was really good with lots of options for everyone & the team working were very friendly & helpful.
It started off nicely with the hotel generously granting an early arrival but went downhill fast from there. The rooms overlooking the pool are noisy all day and night into the wee hours of the morning. LOUD music that cannot be silenced with earplugs. The hotel serves as a spot for large weddings and those guests take priority. The tavern with the golf simulators - a part of why we booked - was closed for a private event. The elevators were so packed that you'd have to wait while several passed by before you could squeeze in. Some of the pool chairs and umbrellas are broken and look worse than what you'd find at a motel. The smoke detector in our room went off for an hour and staff was hard to find come by to get it fixed. They were not apologetic. One of two Computers os broken at the business center and the other had issues logging onto some sites. The printer 🖨️ was out of paper. There was no garbage can in the business center to throw away the wrapper for the ream of paper that I found and loaded into the printer. As a staff member was walking by - I asked him to take the wrapper (I was trying to be helpful but he nastily me to ”go find a waste can yourself around the corner” and loudly called me rude in the presence of other guests for asking him to take away (THEIR) garbage since they have no can in their office. (He said ”I am the head of security! And I am with a client! And I won't be treated like this!” If I could give this hotel a ZERO rating due to this employee alone (Michael T), I would. The location is great but there are lots of better choices. I will never stay here again and am losing faith in Marriott if this is what they think is acceptable behavior from their head of security. I was told that he was stressed because there had been ”numerous security issues” at the hotel. I am not surprised. One woman in the elevator was complaining that when she went to her room, other people were in it! The staff apologized and said that someone must have ”passed a key.” I have no idea what that means, but she was more upset than me - for good reason. She said they upgraded her to make up for it but that she was still shocked at what had transpired. I don't think that she will be returning, either.
The ceilings were very low. The property was VERY dark inside. Access to the pool was VERY awkward (if not, a little scary). There was a bar at the pool but it was not open. No where to get food or drinks.
I chose this Marriott because of the indoor/outdoor pool area! Perfect because it was pouring rain when I arrived and I really wanted to go swimming. The front desk was super friendly and helpful. The free shuttle was convenient and the driver was funny and talkative. I got the business concierge balcony room. Big tv and nice balcony. Used the concierge lounge for breakfast. It was convenient and the food was decent. The on-site restaurant was a little expensive and the food was just OK but the cocktails were great!My stay was perfect for a pre-cruise night. 
ゲゲストVery Nice! Staff so friendly and accommodating. We had arrived a bit early and Susan, at the front desk, allowed us to check in. She had the most pleasant smile. Our room was clean and ready. Mattress was a bit too soft, but clean and relatively comfortable. I like to mention the housekeepers were very sweet and competent. Shawn the evening receptionist, got me a extra blanket quicky and with a smile. The place was starting to show it's age, but the resort was clean and the location beautiful.
