In Ybor city! Walked around after Gasparilla! Parking limited but prepaid at time of reservation. Room is very clean and comfy. Janice from the front desk showed me the path to the trolley-thank you. Hot breakfast at morning. Awesome! Staff friendly, clean hotel and nice breakfast.

Stayed for 1 night. Location is great, within a fair walking distance of the downtown bars and food places and across the road from the tram stop. Bedroom is a great size for the price with everything you need and is very comfortable. Staff are super welcoming and friendly. Varied breakfast choices. Didn’t have the opportunity to try the pool or gym sadly. Would definitely stay again!

Good hotel, have stayed here a few times with my company. Its in a great location to ybor city. If you have a larger vechicle truck / suv there is parking area above the garage it should fit height wise. Room was clean and taken care of. Bed is little stiff woke up in the morning took a while to get loose. Morning breakfast provided which is nice had an assortment of options. Would stay again

Hotel was great! We stayed overnight with a stay snd cruise deal and it worked out perfect. Room was great, clean and comfy. Customer Service was great. Safety measured with keyboard only access to hotel rooms via elevator is a nice touch. It also included breakfast and parking for duration of cruise. Majority of parking is covered. Hotel was close to port and provided a shuttle to drop off at port and pick up afterwards back to the hotel to get our car. Would definitely stay again next time we're in Tampa.

We stayed at 2 different Hampton locations. One before and one after our cruise. Our stay at this particular location stood out by far. From our first interaction via phone call from the cruise port, our group was incredibly impressed. You have a superstar staff and they all should be commended. I wish I had gotten all their names but first and foremost our entire group want to express our heartfelt thanks to Miguel. The reason we truly were able to enjoy this choice of location is thanks to his recommendations. We shared our interests and he immediately shared all the best spots for what we were looking for. The following day he helped us discover the market at the park and the trolley. He recommended excellent places to eat and helped get us right to the bus to the airport that evening. His attitude, kindness and work ethic was admirable and we very rarely see someone so incredibly excited about what he does. We saw him share the same joy with so many other guests. He is a true gem and I hope you recognize his efforts and share our gratitude. Lastly, I want to thank Tayvion at the front desk. He was so helpful with ensuring our group was taken care of and that we were safe and comfortable. There were also a few amazing women at the front desk that gave us excellent dinner recommendations, helped with ice and luggage, and were so kind. I know this review is long but it is so well deserved. We will be back and specifically to this location. We hope to see your amazing staff and Miguel! Also, need to mention room was spacious, clean and breakfast was great! Location is walking distance to a variety of restaurants and coffee shops.

Our stay here was a wonderful experience from the start. The front staff was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean. We were going on a cruise so we used their shuttle service to the port. Our driver Migue Maldonado was so amazing. He told us about the history of Tampa, what to do in town and on the ship. They also picked us up and stored our luggage when we came back from the cruise and waited for our flight. I would recommend this hotel to everyone

Very friendly staff and Allie (?), who worked at the front desk, was especially accommodating and amazing! Great location for the price, making it easy to walk anywhere in Ybor City or catch the free streetcar. The hotel overall was very clean and up to date.The only real issues were that the facet was in a weird spot on the side of the sink and did not extend very far out. This made it a little difficult to fit your hand under when you washed them. Also, the shower curtain was short and didn't extend down to the tub, so any time you took a shower water would be all over the floor. All in all, though, a great value.

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Rooms would be 5 stars except for the ridiculous bathroom sink, nearly impossible to use. Fantastic location walkable to all of Ybor, average gym. Friendly staff willing to help.
