“An Amazing Mother's Day Buffet!”

I had read that the Renaissance puts on an opulent Mother's Day Buffet. I was traveling solo, so it was a must for me to experience this.

I had read that the Renaissance puts on an opulent Mother's Day Buffet. I was traveling solo, so it was a must for me to experience this. I mean c'mon, just going to the Renaissance Hotel Tampa, is an experience in itself. This Mother's Day Buffet did not disappoint. I was seated at a 2 top window seat that looked out onto the garden and patio. My server was Faby. I absolutely adored her. Her Professionalism and Passion for her job are one of the main components to enjoying your meal out. There was an amazing choice of foods available to choose from. Everything I tried was delicious! An enjoyable afternoon had!

“Great Location”

Lobby is beautiful, king bed room was basic but had what was needed, a refrigerator a safe , comfortable bed. This hotel is located near walkable bars and restaurants and malls. The lobby bar was crowded throughout our stay. It was a good two night property.

“Nice hotel, fantastic location”

This stay was almost perfect, except for one issue. I’ll start with the good. When I walked in, I was greeted very kindly and the check-in process was seamless. The hotel property is very well maintained and clean and looks beautiful. When I got to my room it was well appointed and clean and the bed was very comfortable. They have convention space here and catering services. They also have a mini Mart for food and any toiletries or supplies that you may need. They also have bars and restaurants on site. I also enjoyed the free complementary lemoncello that they gave out during happy hour. That was a nice surprise. What I didn’t like was my shower did not get hot and it was miserable taking a cold shower which I immediately let the front desk manager know about it. What wasn’t co was that she didn’t offer any Marriott points or anything that she could have done to have appease me. Overall, this is a very nice location and a clean and well-maintained hotel. It is also attached to the international mall, so it’s awesome that you can walk over and go shopping and have tons of restaurants and stores within steps. I would definitely return.

“Nice hotel but bad bar / restaurant design”

Nice hotel and very convenient to dining options in the adjacent shopping area. A renovation has apparently just been completed in the restaurant / bar area. The work is nice but the bar is small, doesn’t have bar stools and the area is extremely depressing. There aren’t pictures on the wall. The… more

Nice hotel and very convenient to dining options in the adjacent shopping area. A renovation has apparently just been completed in the restaurant / bar area. The work is nice but the bar is small, doesn’t have bar stools and the area is extremely depressing. There aren’t pictures on the wall. The feeling is too “boxy”. I can tell that thought went into the planning but the bar area is just blah! Perhaps most people go to nearby dining options. If they were to create a bar in the lobby area, I suspect it would be filled with patrons. This is the one thing that may keep me from staying here in the future.
