Hotels in Tampa

[sgmn]

Hi, arriving from UK for one night pre cruise.  Don't know the area and have never cruised from Tampa.  Can anyone give any advice for a mid price hotel and what areas to consider.     

TIA

Yes....look at Tampa Marriott Water St...JW Marriott Water St...Embassy Suites Downtown Convention Center....Hampton Inn and Home 2 Suites Channelside.  The Downtown Tampa Riverwalk area and Channelside area are good places to stay for a night pre-cruise and close to the port.

Embassy Suites Downtown Convention Center....Hampton Inn and Home 2 Suites Channelside are all very mid priced hotels just like the OP was asking suggestions for.

Embassy Suites on Westshore near the airport is pretty nice and less than Downtown.  Great Happy Hour and breakfast. They took us to a restaurant in their van and picked us back up.  It was a $15 Uber to the port.  About 20 min.

We are also looking for a hotel. Preferably one that will allow us to keep a car there.

We stayed here prior to our cruise. There's a nice shopping center about a mile walk away, which was totally doable for us. It had some high end shops, but also a large, outdoor dining promenade type area. Had a great meal at a British Pub type of restaurant actually!

Holiday Inn Express Ybor City East.   Nothing fancy but clean and the people are very nice.   They have a large lighted parking lot where they allow you to leave your car for up to 14 days for $50.

 

We have stayed a couple of times with the car and are planning on staying there in April when flying in even though it's farther from the airport.
