[Shellyld6]

I really could use some input. If this isnt where Iam supposed to post this I apologize now.. I have searched post after post to find the answers but cant seem to find them..

1st question is We are porting out of Tampa looking for a hotel would like to book w/ priceline or hotwire to get a good deal but I need to know that if I book with them for a 3* or better that we will have airport and pier shuttle.How can I find this out first?

2nd ?Is where is the closest place to stay to the pier would it be downtown or westshore. how much is it for a taxi ride from either place if no shuttle? Any and all info would be great.. Thank you and if you could write a list of info on hotels w / wo shuttle I would be happy to do more research .Thanks again Shelly

Shelly, look at the Gulf Coast Boards for Tampa information.

 

Downtown or Westshore areas are the best ones, but sorry I don't know which hotels would have shuttles, and whether you would be able to take advantage of them if you are a Priceline buyer.

First go to this thread, on the Gulf Coast Departures board.

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=108072

It has 1200 posts over a two year period. If it's not mentioned here, you don't want to stay there! Next go to http://www.biddingfortravel.com to see how priceline works, if you have not done so already.

 

Yes, you will want either Downtown or Westshore, 3* or better. Most Downtown hotels have a free shuttle to the pier, but not from the airport. Taxi should be $20-25. Most Westshore hotels have a free shuttle from the airport, but not to the pier.

 

After telling you all this, I must also report that we got the 2.5* Residence Inn in Downtown Tampa, for $65 in February.:D

I just don't get it. You are continuing to post here on the wrong board but have not posed your question on the Gulf Coast board where you might get the information you are looking for.
