Hollander Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed at the Hollander for our anniversary weekend. Pros: We loved the historic charm of the hotel. The reception staff was very friendly and answered any questions we had. The food at the downstairs restaurant was very good. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was very soft. Shower had good water pressure. I liked the complimentary makeup removing wipes in the bathroom. The pool and outside bar looked great from our window, although we never made it there in person. The location was close enough to everything that we were able to walk most places or uber for less than $15. Cons: Hollander has a free shuttle, but it doesn’t run until 2pm and if there’s a line you can end up waiting a while - so we never got a chance to use it. The parking lot is an hot mess, especially if you have a larger vehicle. There are very limited parking spaces, and for some reason people are constantly parking in random places in the back lot, making it nearly impossible to get through. Our Escalade was barely able to fit through to find a spot in the back dirt lot. Then, when it was time for us to leave, a car parked in front of the exit, so we had to drive the wrong way back through the parking lot in order to get out. Overall, though, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again in the future. If you have the ability to drive a small car while going to the Hollander, drive it and you’ll be fine. Trucks and large SUVs, it will put your driving skills to the test!"

Sailport Waterfront Suites

8/10 Good

"I asked for a late check out and was told they would leave notes for the person in the morning. Found out from the manager in the morning they were completely booked and couldn't accommodate me. I was out to lunch with my family and they wanted us out by 1. I felt like I was being interrogated because the manager asked how was I at lunch if I just spoke with house keeping and she kept asking if I knew who I spoke to the night before. I never got the other person's name and didn't think I had to. When I went to check out the manager that was rude and unprofessional seemed very eager to tell me that the person I spoke to the night before was the night manager. That is very concerning to me that two managers treated a customer that way. If it was their mistake they should've figured something out. We had to leave at 2 pm and our flight was not until 7:30! Our vacation turned nightmare because of two "managers" that have zero customer service experience. I would recommend retraining or possibly new managers. The restaurant staff were amazing, the woman that checked us in was friendly and helpful , security and maintenance crew were awesome! But unfortunately we will not book there again due to the managers."

The Westin Tampa Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in a great location and made it super accessible to go to St. Petes, Clearwater, and Madeira beach. The hotel itself is in pristine condition and we loved looking at the bayview from our window. The only downside was the amount of time we had waited to be served breakfast - almost an hour. I was pretty sure they were short-staffed so we did not rush them and just patiently waited. Overall, it was still a great weekend stay at The Westin and I’ll certainly be back!"
