"This Westin does a good job at convincing you not to leave the confines of its 177 acres – it’s that relaxing."

"Not to be confused with the less engaging Westin Tampa Bay, this local giant, three blocks from the arena and Florida Aquarium, provides all the requisites Westin regulars expect."

"Few folks think of the islands when visiting Tampa, but this 12-story hotel on a 177-acre man-made islet is a short drive from downtown Tampa and even closer to the cruise terminal."

"Small, hip boutique hotel, with just nine rooms and excellent service; crisp, stylish rooms come with plasma TVs, hardwood floors... full kitchens and free wi-fi, and it’s an easy walk to Main St."

"The nine rooms feel like a designer's brownstone apartment: free-spirited and effortlessly artful, but with real working kitchens. It's urban funk, walkable to downtown Sarasota."
