Stayed in this hotel last year with my wife for the USMC Birthday Ball. Upon arrival, the room was dirty with shavings still in the tub from the previous occupant. We were pressed for time to dress up for the ceremony, so we let it slide.
This year, the non-smoking room was clean, but smelled bad. We are pretty low maintanance and weren't going to spend much time in the room. So again, we opted not to hassle with switching rooms and proceeded to our ceremony.
By the way, the GM never returned my call despite a detailed message of my concern and repeating my phone number twice.
The Hyatt did a good job with the ceremony both years, but I would recommend another hotel such as the Marriott Tampa Waterside. I was severely dissappointed in the lack of professionalism displayed by the management and staff of this hotel (aside from the lady who checked me in, who was very pleasant). Hope this helps...
HYATT DOWNTOWN...NOT!

My wife and I just stayed there weekend of 8/22/08 so this is very current.
hotel was unimpressive. Only one restaraunt which was very poor. Cold food (hot entree) forgetful service, wrong bill and what ever happened to those lemons we asked for?
the room had a problem where half of the water flow came out of the tub faucet and the other half came out of the shower faucet and we had two different kinds of bugs in the bed. It's not the hotel's fault that downtown tampa is dead, I mean no one but some street people. I think the city planners forgot to build for people and not just large banks. It could be a nice city.
oh, try staying along the river walk...Much nicer.
Great hotel- elevators are a negative

We enjoyed everything but the waiting time for elevators. Staying on the 8th floor it was better to walk down the stairs and wait for the elevators on the way back up. Sometimes the wait was up to 7 minutes and they stopped on every floor. Other than that, it is a first class property in the heart of the beautiful downtown area. Nice restaurant and clean throughout, but they really need to pay attention to the elevators and the time it takes to access them.
exccelent vaca.

My stay in the Hyatt Downtown was a pleasant one, the rooms are clean and the beads are very soft, you get 4(veeeeery soft) pillows per bed and a small cushion. And I as a non-smoker loved a small detail, in your non-smoking room is totally prohibited to smoke, there is a $250 fine if you do, yahooo!
We used the conference rooms for breakfast and some interviews, the service was excellent and the food was good, nothing out of this world but fresh and prepared right. The staff was courteous and helpful. My only "complaint" in this department is that the silverware is way too big and heavy to eat.
The restaurant serves Starbucks coffee, for me is not a big deal as I don't enjoy their coffee, but for you it may be a plus. The food is very good and the prices are not on the expensive side but portions could be a bit bigger. My real complaint is the closing hours, 10pm is too early for anything, specially as there is no room service after that time and the surrounding area is completely dead, you have to take a cab to Ybor or as I did, to Wendy's.
The best part of the stay was the hotel's staff, at the front desk I had the fortune to be greeted by Jacklyn from Pittsburgh and she was extremely efficient and quick as a breeze, all with a big smile on her face all the time, I had a couple of difficult requests as I had a group of journalists requiring very late check out and also I had a last minute VIP guest arriving with just a couple hours notice and the very efficient staff managed to get me one room though they were at full capacity due to a couple of conventions.
The house preferred shuttle service Blue One, is a must, they are very convenient, well priced and are at the hotel all day long. The only wish I have in this area is that you could charge their service to your hotel account but that is not possible at this time as they are an external service provider.
If you are in Tampa for a business trip, you can't go wrong if you choose the Hyatt.
