Top University of Tampa Hotel Reviews

The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Free washers and dryers, staff was nice"

Hampton Inn Tampa Downtown Channel District

8/10 Good

"I was a bit disappointed in the room cleanliness (put down the bath mat to take a shower and when it wiped across the floor if has streaks of visible dirt on it, for one example) That being said, the staff was so friendly! We had a wonderful experience with Taisha at the front desk. I spoke to her on the phone twice before our stay for an early check in. She was so kind and made the effort to remember who we were, and was so sweet with my tween aged son every time we saw her. In fact, when we left, he even commented about what a nice lady she was and how it helped make our trip better! Thank you to Taisha for making our stay nice!"
