Direct skybridge connection to the Tampa Convention Center
Free made-to-order omelets and evening cocktail reception daily
All-suite layout means parents can stay up after the kids crash
Короткий огляд: A chaotic, high-energy atrium hotel where the free booze flows freely and the elevators take forever.
Переглянуто @nikivybez: I booked this corner suite for a convention and couldn't believe the size of the terrace! Having a separate bedroom and a fully accessible bathroom made the stay so comfortable. It's not super fancy, but for space and location right next to the Arena, it's a total win.

The hype
Unbeatable location for events and hockey games, but the property is showing its age.
Reality check
Multiple recent reports of a lingering 'musty' humidity smell in guest rooms.
You are attending a conference next door
You need a separate living room for work or kids
You want to walk to Amalie Arena for a Lightning game
Чистота та обслуговування
7.8
Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, but they often miss dusting high surfaces.
Bathroom hygiene: Grout is usually clean, but watch out for stray hairs in the corners.
Maintenance: The building is aging; expect scuffed baseboards and slow drains in some rooms.
Linens & towels: Standard Hilton quality—crisp but not luxurious. Check sheets for stains upon arrival.
Odors & scents: Persistent complaints about a 'musty' or 'damp' smell in rooms, likely due to Florida humidity.

ЧаПи та скриті поради
Все, що вам дійсно потрібно знати перед бронюванням.
Is breakfast actually free?
Yes, and it's a legit buffet with a made-to-order omelet station, not just sad bagels.
Does the hotel have a shuttle?
No airport shuttle. You'll need an Uber/Lyft (~$25-35 from TPA) or a rental car.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the outdoor pool on the 3rd floor is heated and open year-round.
Can I walk to the cruise port?
Yes, it's about a 10-15 minute walk to Terminal 2, or a very short Uber.
What is the evening reception?
Free beer, wine, and well drinks plus light snacks (veggies, chips) for 1.5 hours every evening.
Is there a resort fee?
They call it a 'Destination Fee' of ~$35.55/night. It includes Wi-Fi and a $30 food credit.

✨
Skip the $45 hotel valet. Park at the Pam Iorio Garage next door (201 Channelside Dr) for ~$18/day max.
✨
The $30 daily credit from the destination fee works at the on-site Starbucks—use it for your morning coffee run.
✨
Ask for a 'digital key' at check-in to bypass the front desk line if you arrive during a convention rush.
5 речей, які варто знати перед вашим виїздом
💡The elevators are notoriously slow during breakfast and check-out times.
💡The 'Bay View' rooms also overlook a parking lot, but the water beyond it is nice.
💡The sofa beds are thin and springy—ask for extra comforters to pad them.
💡You can hear the convention center announcements from the pool deck.
💡The 'free' evening drinks are well brands; you pay extra for premium liquor.
