The Tampa EDITION

10/10 Excellent

"I highly value amenities like the gym and pool, since when I book hotels like this I expect to make the most of the experience and my time at the hotel, and the amenities at The Edition are great. I didn't have time to visit the spa itself, but the pool and gym were great spaces. Regarding the staff, what I liked most was the room service. The room service team is really amazing and visited my room like 3 times a day, organized my things, and was always super attentive. I really enjoyed the room service. The breakfast restaurant is also great. Really good hotel. I definitely want to return."

"Great experience. Will continue to stay here."

Hotel Flor Tampa Downtown, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The parking is expensive but I appreciate the in-out privileges and the speed with which they bring the cars around. One suggestion is to have umbrellas available for guests to use during the summer rainy season."
