Hampton Inn Tampa Downtown Channel District
Les gens à l'accueil étaient supers! Mais la chambre serait due pour être rafraichie, salle de bain incluse. Pas assez de places pour le déjeuner et manque de choix. Le servive de navette vers le port était super efficace et rapide.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Channel District
Amazing staff! Room was clean and fresh smelling. The only issue was the street noise that goes on most of the night. If you are sensitive to noise may want to pick a room as far away from the street as you can get.

Sailport Waterfront Suites
The hotel was wonderful. The poolside restaurant served delicious food all day. The pool was clean and offered a beautiful view of the bay. I would have liked to have beach access to the bay, but there was a nice beach a short drive away. The hotel was quiet at night, but not so strict that I worried ...
