Top University Square Hotel Reviews

The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"A good location for visiting the University of Tampa. The shuttle service is a big positive. We will be staying there again."

The Westin Tampa Bay

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at the West Tampa Bay with a few girlfriends for a girls weekend. We were impressed from the start of our stay. The Bell hop in the carport greeted upon arrival with a smile and fantastic attitude. Welcoming and ready to help. Angel checked us. He too was welcoming, attentive, and ready to accommodate. He went a step behind calling to see if our room could be cleaned so we could get in early. He followed through and called as the room was available for hour earlier than expected. We all commented how impressed we were with the wonderful customer service. Leo waited on us at the pool and was friendly and very efficient. Just a joy! One of my girlfriends is a little high maintenance and called down to see if they possibly had a fan we could use in the room. They did and brought it right up to us. Wow! We really enjoyed our stay and I can’t say enough about how impressed we were with the staff and service. Gold star! Thank you.!"

Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay Staff was very helpful and understanding when it cames to satisfying our needs regarding the restaurant we ate at. They went the extra mile for make sure we were please, and they gave us credit and free meals. You don't find that at many hotels. The room was beautiful. Everyday they came in and cleaned the room. I recommend anyone to visit the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay."
