Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, delicious breakfast"

Mint House Tampa Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Very modern, clean and full featured. Great location! Great value! Remote parking was not clearly marked from the street and a bit unprotected."

Hotel Flor Tampa Downtown, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome stay. Bar and coffeehouse for evenings&mornings. Very classy, very well decorated, very well kept: cleaning staff had a 'sixth sense' about what I wanted cleaned and left alone. Shuttle service can get you to Ybor and other local attractions.. which means you could use them to get you in the robotaxi geofence and get a cheap fare to ZooTampa or a Bucs game. Cold lemon water in the lobby and clean restrooms on the mezzanine so you don't have to run all the way back up to your room to take a tinkle. I can't really say anything negative about this hotel. Dominos is next door if you need a pizza late at night."
