We love staying at The Current, it’s one of our favorite hotels in Tampa. The hotel is very clean, and the bay view rooms are absolutely stunning. Breakfast was high quality and a great way to start the day. It’s conveniently close to downtown and the airport, yet being right on the bay makes it feel peaceful and removed from the hustle and bustle. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our requests, which made the stay even better.
Excellent hotel at a good price. The service was great throughout. We had a corner room with an espectacular view of the bay with sunrises and sunsets. The room and bathroom were comfortable with enough closet and drawers. The only thing is that it looks worn out and could use a refurbish. The food was very good. We had breakfast at the Julian and dinner at Casa Cami. The lobby is big and comfortable. They have art exhibits throughout. The pool looked nice (didn’t use). They also have a small sand beach area and nice deck that could use new furniture.
Amazing experience staying in this hotel for 3 nights. The staff was super helpful, the bed was very comfy and the view from the deck and the rooftop just brilliant. Will definitely come back.
Posting on behalf of my Mom Brandi: I had an issue during my stay that could have easily ruined the experience, but some exceptional staff members completely turned it around. From the moment I shared my concern, they listened with genuine empathy, and moved quickly to make things right. Kennie WAS absolutely AMAZING, answering my call early in the AM and taking immediate swift actions. So grateful for him, and his unwavering professionalism. Not only was the problem resolved, but they followed up to ensure I was comfortable and satisfied — something you don’t see often. Krissy was also very helpful to us and even offered us a very special gift for the inconvenience!!!! How thoughtful!! We respectfully declined, but just the thought touched us alone! Their professionalism, kindness, and commitment to great service truly went above and beyond my expectations. Because of them, what started as a frustrating situation ended as a stay I’ll always remember for the right reasons. I am a titanium member, and I will be back, and booked for this upcoming Monday again because I was so impressed. All the Best, Brandi.
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, and the front desk associate Krissy truly made our stay exceptional. From the moment I arrived, she was welcoming, professional, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and answered all of my questions with a smile. Even made us restaurant reservations for brunch. It’s rare to come across customer service this genuine and attentive. She set the tone for a fantastic stay, and I really appreciated her kindness and efficiency. I’ll definitely be returning!
I took my wife here for Valentine’s Day and we really enjoyed our experience. We had the trio fish dinner with mac and cheese, as well as the sirloin steak with a salad. Great food and a wonderful deal—definitely recommend!
We walked into the hotel after a very hectic and emotional trip with our grandma, and Krissy at the front desk immediately made all the difference. From the moment we arrived, she took the absolute best care of us. She quickly got us settled into a room, offered us a glass of champagne, and even gave us a hug when she could tell we needed one. Krissy is outstanding, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about both the hotel and the people staying in it. In a moment when we really needed kindness, she showed up in such a meaningful way. We are so grateful for her and the warmth she brings to the hotel experience.
Went to Julian coffe bar and was met with a server with a great attitude and nice smile. Was extremely helpful even though she was swamped. Made me feel special and valued despite her busy morning. Recommend several good ideas and I was impressed. Came back the next day and was surprised again of how polite and helpful she was. Her name is ARI and I just want to say thank you. It’s services like this that make a great stay and will bring me back. 01/18/2026
