Palmetto Beachfront Hotel, a By the Sea Resort
The room is super outdated and smelled of old seafood. Couldn't even stay but was still charged for 1 night. I walked in and turned around at the door and was still charged. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone

We had a great view of Tropicana field and the business district from our 7th floor balcony. It is a very short walk to there as well.

Sailport Waterfront Suites
Kind of disappointing. Looked really nice online, but it felt like a trailer inside as far as quality. They also charged a higher “resort fee” on site than what Expedia listed.
