My best friend, who's attended multiple tea parties at multiple places in Tampa as a child, said this was the best tea party she's ever been to. I would absolutely recommend anyone who is looking for a lovely time with family and/or friends to come book with Theresa.

Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing in several ways. While we were in the room, there was painting being done nearby, and the fumes were extremely strong. When we called the front desk, we were initially told no painting was occurring, only to later return and find wet paint signs posted. We also had maintenance issues in the room, including a toilet paper holder that was not attached to the wall and a shower that took over 20 minutes to even get warm. We understand this is a historic building, but we did not experience these kinds of issues during prior stays. Additionally, the dining room appeared to have only one server working. She was absolutely wonderful and did her best, but it was clear she was stretched too thin to provide attentive service to all guests. Overall, we still appreciate the character and location of the hotel, but this stay fell short of the experience we were expecting based on our past visits.

Living in upstate New York, I was excited to have a business trip to Tampa, Florida in March. As…read moresoon as my wife heard where I was headed, she decided she was coming and we were adding time so we could go to St. Petersburg for some beach time. We had visited once before and stayed in a tourist area that was busy and loud. We had driven around and found Pass-A-Grille and my wife noticed The Inn at the Beach. She declared next time we will stay there and this is just what we did. What an excellent decision. The Inn is nestled in a residential area so it was quiet and quite beautiful. The rooms all have names and each is unique. We stayed in Sunrise which had a balcony off to the side providing nice views of the beach. It was great for winding down each night with a drink and hearing the ocean. The Inn is just a short walk across the street to the beach and the Inn provides chairs and umbrellas. An extra nice touch, they have a cooler in the room while providing ice so you have everything you need to enjoy the sun and water. The room was nicely decorated, very clean and included amenities like nice thick towels and bathrobes. The staff were all very friendly and right on top of any requests we had during our stay. The location is a short drive to restaurants and shopping and parking is free. We even found a few restaurants within walking distance that surprised us with the quality of the food. Both my wife and I look forward to coming back to the Inn and would highly recommend it to anyone who asks. Our only regret is our time at the Inn wasn't long enough.

Being located inside the old courthouse in downtown Tampa, Le Meridien was a good choice to stay…read moreduring our weekend in the city to see Suzy Eddie Izzard at the Straz Center -- that turned out to be 12 minutes walking distance from our hotel. The location is close to a number of restaurants and bars including CW's Gin Joint that is five minutes walking. The art museum is also nearby in addition to a couple of Starbucks. I wouldn't recommend walking down to the hockey center which is about 20 minutes walking at least and goes under the Selmon Expressway overpass. Some of the areas in downtown can be sketch so you will need to Uber if you don't plan on driving and parking. Parking, speaking of which, will be expensive whether you are valeting at $45 a night or park in one of the garages nearby. Some I think are $15-20 a day but depends on the garage. The valet at least are fast with getting your car. Overall, the staff was friendly and courteous. Our check in went quickly to grab our keys and direct us to our room that was on the first floor. Housekeeping was friendly and prompt as well. The room was easily accessible from the lobby and close to the pool area. Our bed was comfortable with a fridge, plenty of drawer and shelf space in the closet. Our room had some modern artwork as well. The bathroom was spacious and the water pressure was solid. Although it took a minute to figure out how to adjust the water temperature without scalding yourself. They have a fitness center but it's up on the top floor and can be a challenge to find at first if you don't know where you're going. The signage helps a bit. It's in this spooky hallway where the court reporters were located and juries deliberated. You wonder if there were any unexplained or brutal murders that took place but I didn't feel any haunted presences nor are any brought up as an attraction. So probably not. But the gym's amenities are solid between the cardio machines and the weights available. Towels are available and a water cooler. They have a restaurant and bar that serves all three meals as well as ice cream and coffee. I only stopped there for an extra dirty, which was ok but could have been dirtier. I would stay here again. It's primely located in downtown Tampa and not far from most points of interest.
