Top South Tampa Hotel Reviews

Landing Tampa Westshore

Landing Tampa Westshore

8/10 Good
"The property was very nice and the 2-bedroom unit was perfect. Nice furnishings but I would’ve loved firmer pillows on the beds. Only the TV in the living room had live local channels; those in the bedrooms were streaming only but we lived with it. There isn’t an assigned parking spot so I thought it would be harder to find a parking spot than it was. The pool was a salt water pool and the temperature was very relaxing! I wish we were able to have a 2nd pool day but we were pretty busy. The shower door was a bit hard to slide and I loved the 2 sinks but I wish that bedroom had the larger bed. The ceiling fan in the bedroom with the bathtub was a bit loud and sounds like it needs tightening."
