Floridan Palace Hotel, BW Premier Collection

Place is definitely out dated, was immediately hit with a $20 parking charge and the closest lot was full so I had to park in the secondary lot which was full of homeless people. Also not lit up or gated parking. AC in my room didn’t work had to get a different room, elevator feels like it will break any day. The restaurants and lounge are also closed even though the web site doesn’t state this, had originally stayed here so I didn’t have to deal with Tampa traffic and leaving. Overall would not stay again.

The room looked EXACTLY like it did on the website, which is very rare these days. Very roomy and CLEAN. The front desk person was VERY professional and very nice and accommodating.

The room felt small, just basic bed and dresser. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. I also had issues controlling the temperature in the room. It was hot most of the time.

The shower did not work, they did not clean the room and replace tissues as they were empty.

Beautiful lobby. It was a shame to see the hotel so empty because of the pandemic.

I had no hot water in my room, was given temporary room to go and shower in. While visiting other room, someone entered my room and stole my purse. The hotel had no cameras on floors. My auto keys were stolen with purse, required me to spend $289 to rekey my auto to secure. The hotel only gave 1/2 off my room charge.

We weren’t advised about any parking fees for our stay until we checked in. Our television only was able to receive a handful of channels. The beds were not very comfortable and the sheets had stains. Was very disappointing for us.

Easy access to sight seeng and local restaurants in the area. Chris at the front desk was very knowledgeable of the downtown area and led us to Yeoman's for an awesome burger. Clean rooms, beautiful hotel, amd overall good experience. We will definitely be staying here in the future.

The room and views were amazing. Front desk staff went above and beyond to make our experience the best it could be. Only thing was the room was not fully cleaned. There were a few items left under the beds in our room.

No one can deny just how beautiful the Floridian hotel is... Before Covid, it was one of the most popular places to host conferences, weddings, or just to go and dine in positive atmosphere. Though the location hasn't lost its charm, the room had a couple of comfort issues: the Mini-Split a/c wasn't working (thankfully the room got no warmer than 72°) and the king bed was harder than a military cot. The water in the shower was just hotter than lukewarm and the TV was t I n y - for $139/night, I'd at least expect a 40"+ screen.
