“I’ve stayed at Le Méridien Tampa several times for business and recently returned for a weekend getaway with my husband. I always enjoy staying here. The hotel is full of character, beautifully set in the historic former courthouse, and offers a unique experience. The rooms are comfortable, and the pool is a great place to relax.
The restaurant and bar are nice if you want to stay in for a meal or drink. There aren’t a ton of options, and it is a bit expensive, but it’s convenient if you want to have a nice meal inside the hotel.
A special thank you to Gabriel at the front desk, who is always welcoming, professional, and incredibly accommodating.
One tip for future guests: if you’re sensitive to light when sleeping, avoid rooms facing the pool. The bright floodlights in the pool area can illuminate those rooms quite a bit at night. Request a room another side of the hotel for a better night’s sleep.
Overall, a nice hotel that I would happily recommend.”
We had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the room and the building was unique

“Great hotel location, just a 10–15 minute walk to the riverwalk. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean, with very high ceilings. An extra bed was provided for a small additional fee.”
“Fantastic! Everything was clean. The location was perfect for getting to Raymond James Stadium. Everyone from the valet to the custodians were polite.”

“If you have a nice vehicle, think twice before using valet at Le Méridien Tampa, The Courthouse.
I watched them rev my truck from my hotel room for no reason.
I stay in Tampa often and usually have zero issues with valet, which is why this stood out. I'm also a Marriot Bonvey Elite member, and frequent their high end hotels all over.
My truck was moved multiple times during my stay and I didn't have a single issue. The last time was different. My room faced the front of the hotel, so my fiancée and I clearly watched them bring it up revving it unnecessarily. Not a quick tap. They were on it.
I went downstairs and told the front desk manager first. He pretty much looked at me and did nothing. No urgency, no concern. So at that point I addressed it myself.
The valet driver kept saying "that thing's loud man" over and over, which didn't make sense. The truck is only loud on startup or if you're actually getting on it, which is exactly the issue here.
I never threatened anyone. I asked what I'm supposed to do in a situation like that after being given multiple different explanations. Them claiming I "physically threatened staff".
What actually happened is the valet driver followed me back into the hotel demanding my keys, escalating things for no reason.
I spoke with both the valet manager and hotel manager after that. They removed the valet fee and let me self park, which told me they knew something wasn't right.
Shortly after that, I got a call saying I needed to leave the property. I had no issue with that and moved on.
What doesn't sit right is how this was handled and then misrepresented publicly instead of just owning it.
My fiancée watched the entire situation from above, and from our perspective, the way things escalated felt off. As an African American couple addressing our property being disrespected, it quickly turned into us being labeled as the problem while dealing with a Caucasian valet driver and management. Whether intentional or not, that's how it came across to us.
To make it even clearer, another guest who witnessed the situation told me the way they were driving my truck was "crazy" and said he would've been heated too.
I left and stayed at JW Marriott Tampa Water Street and had zero issues. Valet was smooth, professional, no games.
For context, I normally stay at places like The Tampa EDITION and Epicurean Hotel and have never experienced anything like this.
At the end of the day, mistakes happen. How you handle them matters. This wasn't handled right.
If you care about your vehicle or expect a certain level of professionalism, I wouldn't trust valet here.”
Great Stay!

“I lived in Tampa for years and had to move away but recently returned for one night before a flight out. I chose to try Le Meridien and was so happy. They upgraded me a really nice Deluxe Room overlooking the bank steps and the interior is fascinating to explore.
The bed was very comfortable and bathroom very large, and I love the desk with the fancy swivel chair.
I highly recommend this property!”

“Le Méridien Tampa was phenomenal from start to finish. The property itself is beautiful and full of character, and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into creating a really unique experience. The rooms were stylish, comfortable, and extremely well maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy the stay.
The restaurant was also fantastic. The food was excellent, the presentation was great, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. It was one of those places where you actually want to linger and enjoy the atmosphere.
What really stood out was the overall attention to detail throughout the hotel. The staff was welcoming, the property was spotless, and everything felt polished and professional. It’s rare to find a place that gets so many things right, but Le Méridien Tampa definitely does.
I’m already looking forward to my next stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tampa.”

“The hotel was selected for the good ratings and the images that were posted, which were misleading, and on top of that they called it Le Méridien :|”
Overall, it was pleasant but I'm not sure I would return.
