Hampton Inn Tampa Downtown Channel District

10/10 Excellent

"Very good if you’re getting on the Margaritaville cruise ship. They even have a free shuttle."

OASIS BAY SUITES, Tampa, Busch Gardens, USF

10/10 Excellent

"Start off with the warm welcome I received from gentleman working at 3pm. Room was very clean and I needed nothing. Pool was nice and clean. Could shut off heater during daytime. Pool Bar just opening will be great once they have TV and music playing. All you can eat breakfast buffet was nice but should have plain bagels also. Shuttle service to parks was great. Hardly no wait time. Only good things to say about this hotel, also India restaurant in hotel has excellent homemade food. I think I covered everything and hope to come back to Tampa soon and Oasis Bay Suites is definitely where I will stay."

Cambria Hotel Tampa-Brandon

10/10 Excellent

"Nice newer hotel! Stayed here 3 nights while in town for a concert. Room was clean, beds comfortable. Enjoyed the lobby when we got back at night to eat our dinner. There are snacks and drinks you can buy in the lobby if needed. I only wish the breakfast was free but instead it’s $15 a person because it’s buffet style so we opted out of that. Overall, great experience."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Tampa Near Busch Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"Tuvimos la habitación con dos cuartos conectados, éramos un grupo de 6 y fue excelente. El cuarto limpio, la atención buena y en general una gran experiencia. Excelente relación precio/ calidad. We stayed in the room with two connecting rooms—we were a group of six, and it was excellent. The room was clean, the service was good, and overall, it was a great experience. Excellent value for money."
