Hampton Inn Tampa Downtown Channel District

10/10 Excellent

"only thing that i disliked was how tight the parking garage was, everything else was great!"

The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was absolutely beautiful. Everything was a 10 out of 10. The only thing that I could possibly say for improvement is maybe an update the wall colors in the room which is not that important. Also parking was $10 a day. I’m not a fan of being charged parking. I think all hotels should be free parking but other than that this hotel was absolutely perfect. The hotel staff was extremely friendly. It was so clean and smelled so good every time I came inside. The pool was nice, and the hotel is in the perfect location."
