great stay

We were plesantly suprised with our experience at Sailport.It was a great bargain, so we were not expecting anything fancy. We had a nice comfy bed, large screen tv.nice little kitchen, with dishes, toaster, blender etc. It was perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the balcony, the grounds were well maintained, all the staff friendly, close to every thing we wanted to do. We would stay here again.

Short Business Trip

I spent three nights at the Sailport and could not have found a better location. Easy access to the airport, beaches, as well as Tampa and St. Petersburg. My room was clean and comfortable I only regret not having enough time for a few more days.

I had a very pleasant evening in Ybor City with business associates. That historic part of Tampa offers a wide verity of restaurants and attractions; it is a great place for families, young, and old.

Great Mothers day stay

Check in went well to include having our room changed to have a better view of the bay. Staff was friendly and fast to take care of any request. Only negative point was the two clubs on the causeway being loud until 2-3am Friday and Saturday night. Will stay again if the opportunity arises.

Family vacation

The trip and stay was great, the rooms are beautiful! The pool, view, rooms, was excellent!!! What I didn't like, that housekeeping only come every three days! I brought my two kids and kids can be messy. When you need extra towels or new bed sheets, you have to ask for it and make the bed yourself. Overall everything was a great experience! The full kitchen is really nice, the balcony is comfortable and free wifi and free parking. Brittney from the front desk, is a great help! She helped us reserve the reservation and she gave us a excellent room! Thank you brittney for being so helpful, she is also well mannered.

A great choice

The Sailport Waterfront Suites was a perfect stop for an overnight stay before an early flight home. The staff was effective, the room was spacious and clean and the location was first rate.

Quick Stay

We stayed here for a quick overnight before heading to the Tampa airport. It was convenient to the airport and the staff was friendly. If you are expecting a traditional hotel... not the place for you. We arrived at 11pm and stayed until 6:30 the next morning to catch a flight. It took about 20 minutes of driving around the complex to find the check-in located on the 2 floor in the center of the complex and we only found it after getting another guest to help us.

I wish I was there longer!

Prior to booking, I read some negative reviews. Don't judge of ONE person's bad experience. The hotel was phenomenal! It even rained every day I was there and I still enjoyed myself. The room had everything I could have possibly needed from home, I even had a dish washer! DVD player allowed me do to my workouts with the view of the ocean next to me! The place was pleasantly clean, I couldn't complain. The staff was SO friendly and courteous. I was there 2 nights and they recognized who I was and what room I was in without even me telling. TWO areas to enjoy the sun! One with sand and one without. PERFECT for me as I don't like to get sandy but love to get tanned. There was a pool too. I CANNOT WAIT TO GO BACK!
