Reviews
The Barrymore Hotel is generally well-liked for its convenient location near the Riverwalk and friendly staff. However, many guests have complained about outdated rooms and issues with hot water.

Pictures are deceiving. Our bathroom sink had huge crack in it and countertop rust ring stains. Very BASIC rooms that were over priced. Mattresses haven't been replaced in years-lumpy and no support,

Staff was excellent. The shuttle service was useful, timely, and efficient. The restaurant and bar was good with great servers and bartenders. The rooms were a little worn down, but clean. The view of the river, along with the proximity to the riverwalk and downtown, were perfect.

The location was great because we had tickets to see a show at the Straz theater and were able to walk from the hotel to the theater entrance in 10 minutes. The room was great, but the mattresses were too soft and we didn't sleep well.

Restaurant seemed understaffed - tables not cleared, and didn’t open at all one day. Staff friendly but inflexible eg luggage storage or request for slightly later checkout. Complimentary shuttle is a welcome feature, particularly as the hotel’s location isn’t as convenient as some in terms of nearby restaurants etc.

The front desk staff was great. The hotel was in a great location. The bed was comfortable. I do not understand how a hotel with a restaurant could be so bad. The AC raddled and had a loud noise. The shower was horrible. Both shower heads went in different directions and if you had the temp any higher than just turning it on, skulled you. The shower also had mold. All leaked. The restaurant. Well, I never got in there because no one came by to seat me. I asked a man who was seated how long he had been waiting. He said, very long. Almost every table had dirty plates on it from the last people there. No hostess. No busboy, nothing. I left and went somewhere else. How can anyone run a hotel with a restaurant and not maintain it?

Perfect location, fantastic restaurant, and the most sincere, caring staff I’ve met. Julian, Michelle, and Jeanne went above and beyond to help us accommodate our 90-year-old parents — making sure they were comfortable, checking in often, and handling every little detail with such kindness. They truly made our stay stress-free and memorable. We’ll be back!

I chose this property because it was next to the Straz where my granddaughter had a dance recital. The floors and surfaces in the room were dirty. The blackout curtains were old and outdated; and only went partway across so the room was light all night long. The TV initially didn’t work until the maintenance guy came and tapped it hard with his hand to “fix” it. The TV was old and kind of grainy. A bunch of dead bugs fell out of the bathmat when I opened it. I didn’t feel safe, because the door lock didn’t work properly, and the door was not a tight seal. You could see light all around it from the hallway.

Great location to just walk outside and hit the Riverwalk. Good location right off the highway. Toilet ran for 20 minutes after flushing, causing noise issues. Thin walls heard neighbors talking in room and doors shutting loudly in hallway throughout night. Loud vehicles cruising the riverwalk at night getting as much attention as they can was a little unnecessary, but young people gonne young it up. Active area! Decent stay. Friendly staff. No business aftea but they print documents for guests at the front desk if needed.

The location was great and the hotel was clean. I would recommend it to family and friends. The hotel charges twenty dollars a day to park at the hotel you are staying. I told the clerk that I didn't want to park my car at the hotel for twenty dollars and would used the parking at the hospital. She gave me a window hanger for my car, and didn't communicated to me, that she was charging me. I checked my account each day to see if I was being charged and nothing showed up on my account. When I check out the hotel, they charged me $60.00 for parking. Why am I paying twenty dollars a day to park at the hotel?

This was my second stay at the Barrymore. The hotel is clean, well located, and the staff is great. The free shuttle within 2 miles of the hotel was very helpful and saved me from renting a car or spending on Ubers. The restaurant has good food and quick service.
- 3/5
The location is great. There is a parking fee, which is cheaper than the lots. The gentleman that checked us in kept putting my card on the counter instead of returning it back to my hand. The rooms smelled like poop, which was probably due to the toilet needing a new wax ring and resealing around the base. The adjoining door looked like someone had busted it open. The makeshift patch repair was terrible. If we had not rented both rooms, I would have been concerned for my safety. The showers are small. The pool is accessible to from the public roadway. To get to the pool, you have to exit outside the hotel, then past the restaurant. I encourage pool goers to wear cover ups.

The great view The bed was not comfortable nor the pillows. The restaurant had good food but food would often come out cold. Could be due to short staff. No alcoholic menu the girls just fix up a drink and you don’t really know what the drink is or the price until you receive the check. I didn’t not like that there is no menu provided if you are serving multiple alcoholic beverages.

I thought the room itself was a little rough and beat up for the prices they are charging. The furniture was rough, and when we checked in the room had not been cleaned. There was a film of dust on all furniture. The bathroom vent had legit dust pile and layer it was pretty gross. The pool is not connected to the hotel. And essentially anyone could just walk in off the street. No key card access like most hotels. The pool was bombarded by teenagers who were not staying at the hotel. First there were two, then three then five, then seven. They kept calling more and more people seemed to live near by and rode their e-bikes there and took over the pool. Ended up leaving the pool. Several guests continued to show up and leave the pool due to the teenagers as well. Hotel didn’t seem to care and allowed it. The one good thing was the hotel provided rides to anywhere within 2 miles of the hotel. FYI they charge for parking as well typically in any city in a downtown area. Another positive was many of the restaurants close by were really good. If I’m back in Tampa again I would be considering another hotel though. Overall for the price and what they charged not worth it. There also was a bar/restaurant on site. The lobby and bar area presented a nice hotel and then you get to your room not the same level for sure.

Shuttle was fabulous. Staff was fantastic and so helpful. My friend twisted her ankle badly and could not walk the next morning. I called the front desk to try to procure a wheelchair. As it turns out the wheelchair they had was recently used by another guest and not returned to the hotel. When they learned she needed one they went right out and bought a brand new one and brought it to our room. In lieu of a wheelchair she was perfectly happy to ride down on a luggage cart but they weren't having any of that! Customer service doesn't get any better that that!!!

First, the staff was top notch, from the parking attendants to the wait staff. Especially, Curtis, front desk who honored my request to switch rooms. To be fair, it looks as if the hotel is trying to make improvements. The rooms are old and musty smelling. The drapes have a good 30 years of dust and generally the place looks worn. The worst was that the ad blurb says" pillow top mattresses with luxurious bedding....I didnt see any of that so it got to be a limited numbers of rooms because when I asked to switch, I pointed it out, and the second room didnt have it either. Overall I was disappointed but the staff is certainly trying their best with what they have to work with

For what we paid, we anticipated a better room and a more welcoming atmosphere. We also noticed that the cleaning staff were not very friendly and did not attend to basic housekeeping tasks such as making the beds or refilling soaps. The condition of the bed even appeared as though it had been previously used, Due to the lack of attention to detail and the overall unwelcoming attitude, only minimal cash tips were given.

the only issue was the restaurant on site, the breakfast was served cold and not very tasty. The waitress was not busy at all, but chatting with coworkers and one customer, so she was not attentive at all. The shuttle service was awesome.

Amenities such as the pool were essentially unusable due to overcrowding, and the lack of peace and quiet was a major issue. The hallways were consistently loud, with significant noise from late-night activity—often from 11:00 PM through 5:30 AM—making it difficult to rest. My stay, from Thursday through Sunday morning, was unfortunately very unpleasant. I strongly believe the Barrymore should be more transparent about this arrangement so guests can make informed decisions. Overall, this was a highly disappointing experience, and I would not recommend staying here.

Unfortunately we had no hot water during our stay. The room was very old and tired with a mish mash of odd furniture and extension leads around the room. The bathroom, although clean, was incredibly old with black/aging grout. The decor in the room was in need of updating and the mirror wasn't even hanging straight on the wall. Need I say more!

Not enough seating by pool especially during peak times. The service at the restaurant was awesome thanks Camila but the food was blah. 😑 if you just want drinks good drinks.

I really like the location. Quiet but also very elegant. I like the things around the hotel, which is very good. You can tell it went through our renovation not too long ago, which is nice. But all in all we will be staying there again.

We have stayed at the Barrymore a couple of times now and it is a great place to stay and convenient to a lot of things. We especially like that it is right across from the Straz center so we don’t have to park separately to go to immense there. We can just walk across the street. The restaurant inside is really good too with some more unique food options available.

They do have a restaurant downstairs in which you can pay for breakfast. There is a coffee area in the back to make go coffee for guests. It even had flavored syrups which I liked along with sugar/cream. We had just come from a cruise and had brought tide pods so we could wash clothes. Loved that there wasn't any charge for the washer/dryer. Room was perfect with a view of the water. Loved the free shuttle that could drop you off or pick you up within 2 miles of hotel. Drivers were very helpful and nice. Definitely recommend staying here!

My second day at Barrymore for an event that took place within a close proximity. Location is everything with this hotel easy access to the shuttle, which is provided at no extra fee .

Staff was great! The shuttle around town is so nice and we had the most helpful, amazing drivers. The room itself is a little rundown. The bathroom is kind of dirty. The grout in the shower needs to all be redone and the plumbing is crazy loud.. There is a nice selection of food that you can purchase downstairs which is nice. Overall, it was a great stay but the building needs some TLC.
- 5/5
Everything was super clean and the lobby has been nicely updated. You can tell the rooms are more dated, mainly the bathrooms, but the hotel has done a nice job keeping everything very clean. My biggest compliment is the staff. Our stay was due to the proximity to the hospital and urgent appointments we had for my mom. We needed a lot of last minute special requests and the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. It was exactly the kindness we needed during this stressful time. Thank-you!

Breakfast was good in restaurant for money

Bar doesn’t open til 4pm - no drinks while at poolside- Meals all made to order- for purchase- No store for anything- just selling snacks- no diet drinks at all. Staff good all but the transit- “free” transit however your wait is 45 minutes- no care on time. Pool not great- 12 lounge chairs for all floors- so one chair per floor- 2 broken so 10 total. Internet pictures look much better than it was- Overall “ok” as good as anywhere else I suppose.

Was a very nice and clean place. Very accommodating due to our flights getting cancelled and needing a few nights in an emergency.

Staff seems kind. The hotel is old and the bathroom was way too small as you have to close the door in order to use the sink. I had no hot water my entire stay. Had to leave the water running in the sink and the shower for at least 5 mins to even get it a little warm; but it was still cold and couldn't truly shower. Made for a terrible stay.

Everything is old and really ran down in the rooms, and hallways. VERY disappointing. Would not recommend staying there. Shower water never really got hot and smelled like the river each time the water was turned on initially.

There on a business trip and the only restaurant in the hotel doesn’t open when it’s supposed to at 7 AM opens at eight. Completely useless for business travelers. No one seemed to care. Rooms were super outdated. Looks like the last time it was renovated maybe 1982. No bottled water in the bathrooms crappy coffee machine just kind of a bleek Hotel that should be $69 a night in a room.

All in all enjoyed. Room was comfortable. What I had planned at night was within walking distance. Great area! And free shuttle to the cruise line was great. Only real issue I had, check in took far longer than most places. I think there was 4 party's in front of me, and only one person behind the desk. Would probably stay again! Great price and location

The best thing about the Barrymore was location and hotel shuttle. We were going to a concert at the Benchmark Arena and were dropped off at the Arena. It was a nice night so we walked back to the hotel, about 25 minute walk. The room was comfortable. The bathroom needs to be cleaned better and carpet vacuumed.

This Hotel is way past its Heyday. Its worn down, rooms look old, hallways and lobby do not have air conditioner or heat. The food is awful both myself and my guests got sick. Teenagers everywhere from the University of Tampa making noises all hours of the night. What type of property manager lets their hotel slip into this condition? Charge your phone? The sockets next to the bed are as old as the 1900's.

The front desk staff was very nice! The room was clean and stocked with coffee and tea, no bottled water though. Our room was on the 17th floor with a limited view of the riverfront. This hotel is at the end of the riverwalk, but walkable to the restaurants and shops. However, I was extremely annoyed with house keeping knocking on our door at 9:30 in the morning twice! My 86 year old mother was still asleep and it scared her!
- 4/5
I was not able to get breakfast, or even get a coffee. Many patrons walked out after waiting a long time, including myself. The restaurant was only about 75% full, and the wait staff was working exceptionally hard and moving fast but we’re unable to bring out any food and had exceptionally long walks to the back of the building or something. Even for people to get their check to cash out took a long time. I do not know if they’re just understaffed or the cooks were taking forever to get the food out or they had a long walk to even get the food. But I definitely do not recommend going to breakfast there. The rest of the place was OK.

We booked a King Room using Hotels.com and when we arrived were told they do not even have King Rooms. The rooms are very dated and need to be updated as well as the bathrooms. Very misleading posting on Hotels.Com. Only redeeming quality was that the rooms were only about $100/night.

The hotel and its staff are fantastic! $10 a day for self parking whereas many hotels nearby are $50 a day for valet only. They have a shuttle that'll take you and pick you up anywhere within 2 mi of the hotel and it is conveniently situated to where you can. Pretty much walk or use public transportation to get anywhere you need to go

Old hotel. Pictures are deceiving. Only update is the bathroom. The bar:restaurant is old too. The plus is the shuttle service that will take you anywhere within 2 miles and pick you up.

The hotel is very well located in the Riverwalk district. The room is dated, but clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a good night's sleep. The only issue is the hot water, which takes a long time to reach the shower. My best advice, though not the most eco-friendly, is to run the water as soon as you get in so it's warm when you shower. Parking downtown for only $10 a day is another plus.

Room was reserved 8 months prior, did not have the king available we originally reserved (we checked in at 5pm when check in was at earliest, 3pm) The hotel only had full or double queen(double queen okay) However, put us in a conjoining room (without disclosure). Thin walls allowed for little to no sleep due to snoring and 545 am alarms left on repeat. Also, had to pay to park. $10, deducted from incidental feel.Only plus, decent shower and shampoos. If you like sleeping, look elsewhere.

The staff was exceptionally kind and very welcoming and friendly. The hotel bar is spacious and very clean and great service. The location is lovely - right on the river walk. Parking is inexpensive. The room was a little shabby and humid. Air conditioning was sporadic in the room and sometimes freezing / sometimes humid. The room had a mild odor. The bathroom was tiny and a little worn. The hallways to the rooms seemed like they could use a whitewash and new carpet. There was no water to be found. So that is why we gave 3 stars.

Beds & pillows were soft, sheets and bed linens were spotless, and the bathroom was sparkling clean. I appreciated the on-site parking. It was only $10 for guests. My only complaint was the smell. Upon walking in, the room smelled musty. I quickly got used to it and didn’t notice it. Then we left and upon returning, the smell hit me in the face again. There must be moisture trapped in this room. Otherwise, this is an excellent location, next door to The Straz and RiverWalk.

Nice Place

The location was the best part of this hotel. The views are stunning and everything is a short walk away, and if not, they have a shuttle. The hotel is just outdated and needs a good renovation. However the showers are nice and the beds/pillows are very comfortable. The room quality is comparable to a motel not a hotel

There was a bit of construction noise from ongoing project on the river front. But the hotel was clean and comfortable. Channel selection was extremely limited. If you travel, bring your fire stick or Roku. Other than the minor issues it was a great hotel and staff is awsome.

The upcharge from vending machines to the little side store from $2⁰⁰ for a bottle of water in the vending machine to $4⁰⁰ in the little store ( for a 16 oz bottle ) they provided was pretty crazy. We didn't receive any type of free breakfast and we were there for 3 days.

So after a long day at the tradeshow there was no way to get any sleep The person at the front desk when I checked out said I would get a credit but that DIDN'T happen

The rooms were a good size with a lot of places to store clothes and shoes. I would have liked an executive room that was a little quieter instead of out in the lobby where it was loud. The pillows were not very good. They had a lot of air in them and would not conform to your head easily. The shower was very strange. You had to enter from the back to turn on the water and cold water got on you when you did. Never did figure out that one.

Friendly helpful staff. The free area shuttle service was a great added bonus. Good sized room, looking a little dated. Some points lost as the shower was only lukewarm but overall comfortable for a short stay

We stayed for a concert at the Arena. The front desk clerk was very helpful and recommended the hotel’s shuttle. The room was very comfortable and clean. Definitely would stay there again!

The cook was two hours late for work so we waited a long time to get breakfast. Was leaving in our cruise and didn’t want to go anywhere else. The lady waiting tables and bar was excellent though! She did an awesome job on her own by taking care of us all while we waited!

Hotel lower floors are a dorm for U of Tampa, kids are respectful & noise isn’t an issue. No safe in the rooms. Pool was reserved for a couple hours by U of Tampa students. Drinks expensive. Great staff, great shuttle that drops you off & picks you up within 2 miles of hotel, great beds!

Easy and close to get to the Riverwalk-great handicap parking. The WiFi was the only problem-had to go outside the hotel to make pages load.
- 5/5
There’s even a shuttle to anywhere within 2 miles. Although most performance venues are in walking distance along with lots of eating establishments in every price range. This place truly has it all. Outstanding hospitality for a very reasonable price. A lovely staff that made me feel welcome.

Great view of the river. Great area. Shuttles to cruise port and cheaper parking option for duration of cruise. Will definitely go there again!

The room doors slammed so it was loud all night even 2am. No blackout curtains so overnight city lights lit up the room like it was day time. And the courtesy vans doing pick ups in the area was a joke, never came
- 5/5
The entire experience was very satisfactory. From the front desk to the hotel staff, all were friendly and accommodating. The room was well stocked with necessities. The hair dryer was missing and, upon calling the front desk, a dryer was delivered in minutes. It is a great hotel, deserving of the high ratings from other guests.

I love the fact that they have a shuttle that it can take you to the cruise port

It was a fast check in and out and was very nice fun neighborhood.

So the hotel is clean, but the hotel is old. My unit had a showerhead that was obsolete and it was confusing why only the wand was working. It primarily is a dorm for the University of Tampa freshmen, so be prepared to share a lot of the common amenities with adults who don’t have their life together yet. It’s good value for the price, but don’t get it confused with a luxury experience

All the staff were amazing!! From the moment I checked in to the room cleaning crew, everybody was very welcoming and respectful. I always enjoyed getting food and drinks at the onsite restaurant and bar. The wait staff and bar tenders were very friendly and sociable…service was fantastic, well done!! I also truly enjoyed the easy access to the Riverwalk bike/running trail. Early morning strolls were a great way to start the day.

Fabulous, personal service from all staff. Other guests quiet, clean, and polite. Restaurant and bar convenient and lovely. Pool was nice and deep, cool, and very refreshing. Never was crowded. Excellent area right on the riverwalk. Shuttle is an excellent benefit and only 5-10 min walk to reach free trolley. Art and decor well-appointed and local artists, loved that! I walked right past the cruise port terminal from here also.

Our stay in Barrymore is very nice but only few things that we have problems is no hot water on the next day and pillows is very uncomfortable my husband got neck pain but overall is very good. I will stay again and I will also recommend.
