Top Tampa Bay Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place St. Petersburg / Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Went for the HYROX at the convention center. Not to far to the event but walking distance to the water and all the night life. Heard 2 different concerts from the hotel."

The Cordova Inn, a New Hotel Collection Property

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED our stay here! We are locals in Tampa, and grabbed a room for the World Series, and the staff was amazing!! I can only imagine how overwhelming it was with so many people coming in! The rooms were gorgeous, and the lobby area is adorable with bar and cutest book store. I am stoked that we stumbled upon Cordova almost as an accident and now love it and will definitely be back! Highly recommend! And extra kudos to the team there the last few days, you kept it cool, calm and collected with a smile the entire time despite a million people checking in at once. WELL DONE!!!"

The Inn on Third

10/10 Excellent

"The Innkeepers were delightful. The property is in a perfect location to explore the museums, restaurants and the waterfront. Complimentary social hour is also nice as well as the continental breakfast. Another bonus is the free parking. The property is an older property so it does show wear and tear, but doesn't detract from the convenience."

Ponce De Leon Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a pretty small room (standard with queen bed). I didn't really care about that since I wasn't planning on being in the room much. Overall the room was clean and comfortable, but the whole place just seems like it's really outdated and could use a little maintenance. The staff was nice. Not a terrible experience, just probably not worth the price. I'm guessing the price has a lot to do with the location, which is pretty much right downtown and close to the pier. They have no parking, but there's a garage across the street. The rate is $16/day though."

Other attractions near Tampa Bay
