ROOST Tampa

Our stay at ROOST Tampa was excellent from start to finish. The 1-bedroom with balcony was beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Being in the same building as our son made the stay extra special. The staff was outstanding, and we especially enjoyed the pool and media room. This was a refreshing alternative to the nearby traditional hotels, and we’re very much looking forward to returning.

The accommodations were excellent, featuring a remarkably clean room and bathroom. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, though it felt too brief. In my humble opinion, this establishment merits a five-star rating due to its favorable location, commendable service, and pleasant customer support. I was unaware of the pool facilities; otherwise, I would have brought my swimsuit. The entire environment felt exceptionally safe and contemporary. I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to extend my visit, but personal obligations require my return. Thank you for this delightful venue. Coffee was good during the morninga but if you offer breakfast will be fantastic. 😉 one more thing... I love the book you have in the studio, I have read some of its pages!

Fantastic hotel. Amazing rooftop pool and common facilities and gym. Apartment style hotels. Some rooms have small work spaces so business travelers might find it better to work in the common lounge area where there is plenty of table space and WiFi. Also it’s a very lively area so street noise level can be high into late evening but eventually quiets down for a good rest. Parking behind the building is connected to hotel and is a breeze. Staff is EXCELLENT.

I wanted this trip to be something special for my family because I am a big hockey fan and I need all the help I can get to get my girls on board. Haha. The ROOST Tampa absolutely delivered. It was my family’s first time seeing an NHL game and we loved every minute of it. The hotel is only a few minutes walk to the arena and there are restaurants everywhere. They even have a really nice walkable Publix which is perfect for grabbing anything you need. The front desk team was incredibly inviting and interactive, and they gave my 6 year old daughter a Tampa Bay flag and some stickers, which let me tell you goes a long way with a little girl. It was a kind gesture and it really made the whole experience feel special. Our room was very clean, and as a family, having a full kitchen along with a washer and dryer was a huge bonus. We cannot wait to come back for our next Tampa trip, and highly recommend staying at ROOST!

Roost Tampa is a beautiful hotel with a modern, home-like feel. My room was clean, spacious, and had everything I needed, including a full kitchen. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the location is great close to restaurants, the waterfront, and attractions. The pool and gym are also excellent. Overall, an awesome stay and I’d definitely come back..!

I had a great experience at the Roost hotel in Tampa and highly recommend. I came for business but would definitely come for vacation. There are many walkable things to do in this area. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. This is clearly a very dog friendly environment. Special thanks to Ashling for helping me print materials needed for my business presentation.

My second time staying there. And my GF's 4th/5th time. Sadly we won't be returning. We stayed 11 nights and it was hell. Water St, has turned into a hotspot for all the Fast & Furious fanatics of the Tampa Bay area. Every single night, very late and into the early hours of the morning, there is unconscionable noise outside where young (and not so young) men (and women) convene to rev their wannabe race cars and motorbikes to levels of volume I didn't think were possible. It's honestly no different from being in a Formula 1 race paddock. To compound the problem our room was right underneath the gym, so up unto about midnight every day, and then from around 5.30am, heavy barbells and medicine balls are dropped/slammed onto the floor with such force that it sounds (and feels!) like the ceiling above is going to collapse at any second. Note that we asked to move rooms however, there are only two rooms of our 'grade' in the entire Roost hotel (which is only one floor of the 'Asher' building), and the other one was occupied. Also, given the shape/configuration of the gym above (which is thin and very long), there can't be too many rooms that are *not* underneath the gym. Finally, the bed is probably the most uncomfortable I've ever experienced (I promise I'm not being dramatic). I had recalled that from my previous visit, though I clearly didn't remember exactly *how* bad it was. I will note that the rest of the furnishings in the room (and building) really are top grade, as are the amenities. However sadly these do not come even close to making up for the utter distress anyone would experience staying here. Three recommendations for Roost Tampa: 1 - New beds; 2 - warn guests about noise from gym above for select rooms, and consider reconfiguring the equipment; 3 - work with local authorities immediately to have the boy racers outside moved-on (it's killing the property). Sad to not be able to again stay at what was once a very solid option in Tampa.

The room had absolutely everything needed for an amazing stay — plates, cups & glasses, silverware, dishwasher with supplies, a refrigerator and freezer, a walk-in closet, shakers for mixing drinks, and even a white noise sound machine! To top it off, it sits atop amazing shops, entertainment, and restaurants, all just steps away from the Arena!

Update to my previously submitted review 11/29/23 update to my previously submitted review: The general manager Eli Kostbar, responded to my review which I will offer my rebuttal to certain points he listed:1) "However, as we were unable to accommodate your early check in......I was never told they could not accommodate my early request in fact when I first checked in at 1:30pm, the woman told me that my room was at the last part of being ready for me so it should be done shortly. I was allowed up to their 7th floor to sit and "enjoy in the interim". It is a floor that has seats and nothing else. I had been up since 5am flying and had half a bottle of water and nothing to eat. I have an autoimmune disease which makes me dizzy and nauseous without food and plenty of water. I sat for an hour and a half before I began emailing via the booking.com phone app.2) "Our team continued to receive multiple verbally abusive, rude and threatening phone calls and messages from you prior to our check in time such as "Don't bother, I will never stay here again and will be hitting all social media with my negative reviews.." This is misleading how it is listed by Mr. Kostbar. The only multiple things were my messages of which after an hour and a half watching others get their calls rooms were ready which was before the set in stone 4pm check in, yes I was upset. I called 1 time and the woman kept talking over me repeating the check in time is 4pm so getting nowhere I hung up. The "don't bother" I was telling the director of rooms in a phone call not to come down but he was saying things to me like "did you just say...?" and was strong in his manner and not at all what I expected from a "manager" with curt tones and sarcastic responses! 3) "We were attempting to upgrade you complimentary to accommodate your early check in request but we're hung up on..." yes I was offered an upgrade but it was never told to me to accommodate my early check in...I told the director of rooms I didn't want the upgrade but before I could add because I just wanted a room, I was told my reservation was being cancelled! 4) "We genuinely care about the satisfaction of our guests and aim to provide the best possible experience. Though your feedback does not accurately convey the full story..." The general manager's response does not accurately convey the full story. I'm a 62 year old woman with health issues coming to spend Thanksgiving with my kids. Instead I'm told by the director of rooms my reservation is canceled and was then humiliated by being escorted out of the hotel at 4pm with nowhere to go. This is people who genuinely care about their guests? Yes I was upset and yet was told Tommy and his team are not going to deal with me and escorted out! Tommy even told my son that I was verbally abusive about Hispanic people which never happened! So I'm still being harassed, abused and untruths are being stated now by the general manager! Please beware about this hotel and how they deal with upset people...me a 62 year old woman alone and put outside to fend for myself in a strange city! I cannot believe a director an now the general manager are going after me with stories of things that did not happen and reduce themselves to such unprofessional behavior. This is what your values are towards your guests or people in general.

Avoid for business travel even though near the Conference Center. The Roost is not an AMEX recommended resort. Though booked through AMEX nothing is refundable or adjustable. Made a huge mistake using them for business travel. My reservation changed and they would not refund or adjust as typical for anything booked with AMEX. Again a major reminder as a business traveler to never use anything local given the risk of them trying to charge for things not used.

The individuals on the forefront are the true face of a company or business. Oftentimes, companies forget to appreciate the ones that are actually the reason for customers' return. I visited The Roost Hotel in Tampa, Florida, this month and had an amazing week's stay! Had a minor hiccup the first night, but Josette assisted to alleviate the problem, and everything turned out fine. I loved the modern aesthetics of the property, including the smart vending machine that dispensed hot food. The hotel was also great for remote work. I was a little bummed that the pool closed at sundown. However, I was able to enjoy the pool and the jacuzzi one day after working. The location of this property is ideal. There are many things to explore and places to eat within walking distance. The customer service and support were top tier from Josette, Ashley, Griffin, and Betsy. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to cross paths with such awesome people. I hope this company's executives actually find a way to thank the people listed above! Looking forward to my next visit!

My wife and I frequent Tampa as much as we can. We like to try new hotels especially if they are close to where we need to go for that trip. We got to the hotel about two hours early and were informed that they would call when are room was available. We were provided with a key so that we could park our vehicle and explore certain parks of the hotel until then. This was also no big deal since it was a nice day so we just went for a walk. Once in our room we started to have issues that were no person fault. Attempts were made to correct this and it was unsuccessful. I went to the front desk to see if we could move to a room of equal value. As the front desk employees were looking in to this Tommy McCormick who is the Director of Rooms overheard the conversation. Tommy stepped in and took over the process for moving us and let's just say it was above and beyond. Tommy checked in with us the next day and even reached out two weeks later as well. Defiantly staying here again. All of the staff was amazing. On top of all of this, the fitness center is one of the best you will find in a hotel. Plenty of places in walking distance for food and drinks as well.

Roost hotel has amazing services, amenities, and staff. I am so very satisfied with my stay at Roost. The attentiveness from the front desk staff (Griffin, Jason, and Carter) was top notch, to the property contact, Tommy, who was accessible and accommodating the whole time. Elida, Savannah, and Eddy were very helpful on the amenities level as well. I would 10/10 recommend this hotel to my friends and family. So grateful for the experience and I am looking forward to next time.

First off great location. We really looked forward to a couples getaway. We were given room 301 across the hall from a trash room and right next to a stairwell on the right. The metal doors from both slammed all day and night. No peace or sleep in this room. Last slam I believe was 3 am that woke me up and started again at 8 am. Spoke with staff in lobby and was told a manager would call us. No call back. I called on Monday and the person that answered the phone pretended to be a manager and gave us fake name of "Chris" and told us he would give refund which never happened. Called and spoke with Betsy who again said manager Gassette or general manager Eli would call back. Never called me. Ended up getting Expedia to call them and only then did they refund $$. Beware the customer service is subpar and and employees are a bit shady. Would not recommend staying here. Edison is next door and it looks amazing.
