Le Meridien Tampa, The Courthouse in Tampa, FL

Terrible service. We came here with a group and four of us had to wait over 3 hours for our rooms. Two of us are still waiting and they won’t give us updates

We hosted our annual law school barristers ball at the courthouse and it was an excellent experience start to finish. Heather, our coordinator was a pleasure to work with, super attentive and helpful from start to finish, walked me through the entire process and was available whenever I needed her. Her staff a the hotel (Sam, Ivan, Diego and Masha) was also incredible! On the day of our event when stress was high and pressure was on, they accommodated my every need, worked with my crew to set up the event down to every single detail, and made sure every last minute request was met. Not to mention the historical atmosphere of being in the actual judges chambers and staying in a gorgeous hotel to end the night. Absolutely 10/10. I can’t thank everyone enough for making our students and faculties experience more perfect!

This was by far the absolute worst hotel experience I’ve ever had! My friend and I were super excited for a girls night getaway and chose le Méridien because of its location to a concert we were attending. We figured, ‘treat ourselves’ right? …we should have just chosen to drive home to Orlando. The room was fine and we had a decent check in. When we got back to the room around 1a that’s when it all went downhill. We got back to our room and within minutes noted the fire alarm battery was chirping. We called the front desk and were told someone from security would come check it out. Security came in, called the front desk and told them we need another room, the alarm system mind you is at the top of a 15-20ft ceiling. Apparently, that was a no go, they were ‘sold out’. He proceeds to come back with a 5ft ladder (remember the ceiling height?) After I carried it in the room and set it up (poor dude had prob never been on a ladder in his life), he tried to then climb up the ladder on the wrong side. We got him on the right side and to our shock… he couldn’t reach. At this point, it’s 2am, security leaves and is no where to be found and the bit at the front desk is now giving US attitude for having the audacity to call again about a situation they still haven’t fixed. We pressure her for another room, a different hotel, anything so we can get a little sleep before heading home. She finally gives in and says there’s one room, but we have to wait until 3:30a to swap and be sure the guests don’t show up. She says she’ll call us in an hour, we’ll get some earplugs and we come to the agreement, we’re not paying for our stay. One set of earplugs gets delivered to the room… that’s all they had… We slam a bottle of wine, carb out on pizza and manage to pass out for a few hours. Fast forward to the next morning, no call to change rooms… By 7a we’re ready to get the hell out. Upon checking out, the manager wanted to argue with us about our stay. We were told our room would be ‘discounted’ and that we never returned at 3:30a to get a new room key… NOPE! Nobody called us… they also swapped their story around about 4 times… So after causing a delightful little scene in the lobby our room was finally comped. This staff lies, cheats and tries to manipulate its guests… don’t fall for it. So much for 4-star Marriott service…

The catering and events team at Le Méridien Tampa is absolutely wonderful. As the catering sales manager, Heather DiGiulio was a dream to work with, demonstrating thoughtfulness and attentiveness that made my job effortless. Our banquet captains, Ivan Ropov and Sam Choukri, were equally impressive, always available and ready to assist with anything we needed. Their combined effort ensured our event ran flawlessly. They were constantly available and proactive, ensuring every last detail was taken care of. This level of professionalism and care made our event a complete success."

We stayed at this beautifully decorated hotel in a landmark historic building. The manager on duty Gabriel greeted us and answered all of our questions, offering us a rich history of the building. The lead valet was exceptionally helpful in giving us directions. We loved the courtesy tickets to the art museum and other perks. Would definitely stay here again!
