Top Tampa Bay Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place St. Petersburg / Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are what make this hotel. The young woman who checked us in and out-I should have gotten her name-made us feel like she was welcoming us into her home. She directed me to restaurants and was just so pleasant. A raise is in order!"

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!!!"
