New Review – Tampa Airport Marriott – Perfect for Late Arrivals

Since I arrived late in the evening with Edelweiss and had an early morning flight to Denver, I chose the Tampa Airport Marriott for its unbeatable convenience.
Located directly inside the airport, it’s just a short walk: two floors up from baggage claim, a brief walk down a hallway — and you’re at the front desk.

🛎️ Check-In – Could Be Smoother

The check-in process was a bit sluggish. It took some time for someone to show up, and once they did, the process still felt unnecessarily slow.
That said, I did receive a few Marriott Bonvoy perks thanks to my status:

• ✅ An upgrade to a slightly better room
• ✅ A drink voucher for the bar
• ✅ Two extra bottles of water

Unfortunately, due to my very early departure, breakfast wasn’t available – not even a “to go” option.
A bit disappointing, especially for an airport hotel, where early check-outs should be expected.

As usual, I booked the stay directly through the Marriott website via a cashback portal – to collect points and benefit from possible status perks.

🛏️ The Room – Standard, but Spotless

No surprises here — the room was what I’d call a typical American business hotel room.
That’s not a complaint, just an observation. If you’ve stayed at a few of these, you’ll know the look and feel.

✔ The cleanliness was excellent, which I appreciated after a long flight.
✔ And yes — there were more complimentary bottles of water in the room. Always a plus!

Room highlights:

A cozy armchair for relaxing briefly – and yes, it was genuinely comfortable

• On the left: a clean and functional bathroom

• On the right: a closet with bathrobes and a safe

• Straight ahead: a very comfortable king-size bed

Across from the bed: a TV and a Koenig coffee machine – decent quality for hotel coffee

🍸 Food & Drinks – Just Enough for a Nightcap

This part of the review is short and sweet:
I used my drink voucher at the bar. The selection was decent, and while the service wasn’t exactly enthusiastic, I got what I ordered — and that’s what counts.

✅ Final Verdict – Worth It for Short Stays

Would I stay here again?
👉 For a short overnight stay: absolutely yes.

The pros:

• 🛬 Direct terminal access – no shuttle needed
• 🧼 Clean, comfortable room
• 💧 Free bottled water and decent in-room amenities

The cons:

• ⏱️ Slow check-in
• 🍽️ No early breakfast options, even to-go

Still, for a one-night layover, it ticks most of the boxes. If the price is right, I’d gladly return — especially for the convenience of walking straight from the baggage carousel to my room.Marriott für eine Nacht eine komfortable, praktische Wahl.
