We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was amazing especially Carl. He did all he could to accommodate us from the minute we walked in to the minute we left. The room was spacious and clean. Wish we could have stayed longer than only one night. Will definitely be staying there again when visiting Tampa.

Aloft had a cool, funky vibe. Lots of original artwork everywhere (except the rooms, which were devoid of anything on the walls), and a nice atmosphere for sitting in the lobby area. The staff were attentive and friendly. It was nice to be right on the RiverWalk and across from U Tampa. I’d definitely stay here again if my kid ends up attending U Tampa.
