Affordable. Sometimes a bit noisy from the road. Room a tad “rough around the edges”

DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront
I would have given 5 stars, but they didn’t clean our room. We had to call down to the front desk, just to get clean towels. But other than that issue, everything was good. Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. We would stay there again
