4 Star Hotel all the way, bar and lounge, fine 4 star Italian restaurant, my king size bed had 4 pillows, and 3 designer pillows, very comfortable, big mini bar in the room, big bathroom, very very nice, room service has a limited selection, if you check out all the ratings it's the best hotel in Tampa, believe it!

We stayed at the Grand Hyatt in February, 2005. We were on a pre-cruise stay in which we were taking the whole family. We had 4 rooms that I got through Hotwire. The staff was extremely courteous. The rooms were great and the beds extremely comfortable. Our grandchildren enjoyed the boardwalk and the man-made beach where they played in the sand.

Grand Hyatt was great as other reviewers wrote, but one little detail is necessary to add. I did not perceive any Priceline discrimination (maybe from one room service person), but the staff knows what you paid. Or more precisely, think they know. I was told by two staff members I got friendly with that some people get the hotel for $25/night. I don't know how one gets it cheaper than the usual minimum Priceline rate of $46 (as of this date). I suspect the records they see are what the hotel gets after Priceline fees are taken out, or what the hotel's profit is over the basic expense of just having the room sit empty.

They also mentioned that a few Priceline or Hotwire or other discount system customers are among the most demanding they have, among those who most commonly want something for nothing. That might just be perception. But be a good guest & make sure you tip. Even though room service already charges a 22% server fee, throw a couple bucks cash their way (they don't get it all, everyone's 22% is actually averaged & divvied out equally over a weekly basis and the phone order-takers and possibly bartender have to be tipped out). The $3 room service fee is all the hotel's.

I've also stayed at the Tampa Hyatt a couple of times. They seemed apologetic the first night because they couldn't give me a king size bed. My second stay I got the king size bed and the water view at sunset. Nice! Like all of these higher end hotels I didn't really care to have to pay extra for internet. The seafood restaurant was fabulous. My meal cost more than my room, but it was great.
