Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Casa Cami rooftop bar with panoramic bay views
- Modern, spa-like marble bathrooms
- Proximity to Tampa International Airport and Rocky Point
Hurtig oversikt: It's a gorgeous waterfront boutique, but thin walls and airport noise mean light sleepers should pack serious earplugs.
Gjennomgått av @AmyWestTravel: My stay at The Current Hotel was everything I needed. Waking up to panoramic water views and spending the afternoon by the pool was pure bliss. I loved ending the day with a cocktail on the rooftop terrace. It’s the perfect chic Tampa getaway!

Reality check
The 'private beach' is a small bayfront strip, not a sprawling sandy ocean beach, and the boardwalk has been awaiting rebuild permits.
- You prioritize aesthetics and sunset cocktails over absolute silence
- You have an early flight out of TPA but still want a vacation vibe
- You want to be close to Raymond James Stadium for a game or concert
Renslighet og vedlikehold
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally good, but multiple guests report missed details like dirt left under beds and unemptied trash cans.
- Bathroom hygiene: Strong point. Bathrooms are modern, spa-like, and mostly spotless, though a few isolated reports mention dirty grout.
- Maintenance: The property is relatively new and well-maintained, but the outdoor boardwalk has been out of commission awaiting city permits.
- Linens & towels: Plush bedding and fresh towels, though some guests found the pillows to be uncomfortably firm.
- Odors & scents: Fresh and modern, with no major complaints about mustiness or smoke.

Innsidetips
- ✨
Ask the front desk exactly what your destination fee covers—sometimes it includes credits for the on-site coffee shop or nearby water taxis.

5 ting du bør vite før du drar
💡The AC units in the rooms are notoriously loud and cycle on and off with a heavy thump.
💡The 'Casitas' are a separate low-rise building with exterior corridors—make sure you know if you're booking the main tower or the Casitas.
💡Housekeeping has been reported to miss small details, like sweeping under the beds or replacing used glassware.
💡The sunset view from Casa Cami is arguably the best in Tampa, making it worth the visit even if you don't stay here.
💡The hotel is on a peninsula, meaning you'll need to drive or rideshare to get to downtown Tampa or the major beaches.
