The Current Hotel Reviews

I’ll start off by saying we live in Tampa and have been coming to current for the last ~2 years and have LOVED it every time. It’s such a classy hotel with amazing views, and we absolutely love the bartenders + bar managers on the rooftop. Si...

nce we’ve always had a great experience coming there, we figured we would have our wedding there too. We were thrilled to have all our loved ones come stay with us and see how awesome Tampa is. Well… we’re pretty disappointed in the way they handled our wedding. Our “day of coordinator” didn’t even show face, the beach looked like absolute complete shit for both the rehearsal and ceremony- we had to literally drag people out there to rake it AFTER the chairs and everything was already set up. We had gift bags for every guest and communicated multiple times, but they weren’t handing people bags upon check-in, lack of communication for rooms ect. If we didn’t hire an actual wedding planner, our day would have been a complete disaster. Thankfully we also had our reception somewhere else. Not to mention a woman at the front desk told me she was looking for a copper stand for a sign everywhere and couldn’t find an affordable one, so I offered her mine for a smaller price than I paid, and out of the kindness of my heart I left it with her after our wedding, trusting that the money would be sent to me and I have yet to receive any payment or anything from her. Aside from the very friendly people we already know & love there, could’ve been a much better experience.

Hello, Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback. We were delighted to be a part of your special day and we're so sorry that the weather did not cooperate. In the case of inclement weather, an indoor back up space is always reser...

ved, and we allow our couples to decide whether they would like to move forward with an outdoor event or move inside. Weather conditions such as strong winds and rain can sometimes affect the look and feel of the beach area and regardless of it being raked, there is no guarantee the sand will stay in place. While we do not offer a day of coordinator, we always have a venue coordinator present to ensure the venue is prepared for any function and that our team moves smoothly with your timeline. We apologize that we did not meet your expectations. The CURRENT Team

1. The staff is professional and courteous. From start to finish I was provided with thorough, friendly service. All of the details were discussed and I never had to question "what next". Courtney and Rachel were a phenomenal team. Day of the ...

event, everyone worked seamlessly together. They ensured our guests were enjoying the evening and had everything they needed. 2. The venue is gorgeous. The backdrop of Tampa Bay for our ceremony made for great photo ops and views for our guests. The Rox Rooftop bar is modern, elegant, simple and stylish. Which was exactly what I was looking for. The staff graciously worked with me to obtain the look/feel I was envisioning. (Our ceremony was at 6pm on the beach, then to the Rooftop for our reception until 11pm) The hotel itself is new, clean, and tastefully decorated. The guest suites/rooms and views are stunning. Our guests that stayed the night/weekend wished they could have stayed longer. 3. The surprisingly expansive selection of food. The Current offers something for everyone's taste. Our guests raved about how great everything was. The presentation of our selections looked amazing. Staff was attentive with refreshing food & our dedicated bartender served fantastic cocktails throughout the night. 4. Honestly no cons about The Current. I'd do it all over again!

Our wedding weekend was an absolute dream, largely due to the wonderful experience my family, friends & I had at The Current! The hotel is gorgeous, with a fantastic pool, beautiful rooftop bar and expertly styled decor. As a Tampa native, I es...

pecially appreciated the thoughtful "Tampa" touches throughout (i.e. the Buddy Brew coffee bar on the main floor). I got all the “staycation”/wedding weekend vibes I was seeking and more. I stayed in the two bay suite which was amazing….my bridesmaids and I got ready for the wedding in there, too. There was plenty of room for us (11) and our hair and makeup team (4); it also accommodated the revolving door of family members and friends. We took some of our wedding photos there (3/14/20) and they are stunning. I wish I could attach some to this review! So many of our guests commented on the waterfront views from their rooms and they loved the modern, clean feel. The service was incredible and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We had our rehearsal dinner there and, unsurprisingly, it was fantastic (we were expecting this, because we love their restaurant). We enjoyed live music & beautiful poolside/water views. The food was delicious, with excellent presentation. My friends & I frequently go to the rooftop bar for drinks on the weekends, as the ambiance and craft cocktails are hard to beat. I highly recommend hosting an event and/or staying here, you’ll love it :)
