The hype
Great location and friendly staff, but the rooms are showing their age and need a deep clean.
Hampton Inn Tampa/Rocky Point-Airport
$110-150 / לילה
הזמן את זה אם You need a quick, affordable airport layover with free parking and a shuttle, and don't mind standard chain-hotel quirks.
למה אנשים אוהבים את זה
- Free airport shuttle (limited hours)
- Free self-parking (rare in Tampa)
- Proximity to waterfront dining like Whiskey Joe's
סיכום מהיר: It's a convenient, budget-friendly airport crash pad, but inconsistent housekeeping and highway noise mean it's not the relaxing waterfront retreat the location implies.
סקור על ידי @Sonya_Heath: We stayed here right before our cruise and it was exactly what we needed. The free airport shuttle and breakfast were huge money savers. Plus, they gave us a late checkout since our port shuttle wasn't until noon. Such a smooth start to our vacation!

Reality check
You're paying for the Rocky Point location and free parking, not luxury—expect standard, sometimes worn, Hampton Inn quality.
- You have an early flight out of TPA
- You're traveling with a pet (dogs and cats allowed)
- You want to be near the water without paying resort prices
ניקיון וטחזוקה
4.5
- Housekeeping: Highly inconsistent; recent guests report a desperate need for deep cleaning and missed spots.
- Bathroom hygiene: Concerning reports of hair left all over the bathroom and filthy walls.
- Maintenance: Generally functional, but rooms are showing wear and tear typical of an older airport hotel.
- Linens & towels: Hit or miss; some guests report dingy-looking linens rather than crisp white sheets.
- Odors & scents: Mostly standard hotel smells, but some complaints of mustiness in ground-floor rooms.

שאלות נפוצות וטיפים נסתרים
הכל מה שאתה באמת צריך לדעת לפני ההזמנה
Is there a free airport shuttle?
Yes, but it operates during limited hours, so call ahead to confirm it aligns with your flight.
Do I have to pay for parking?
No, self-parking is free, which is a huge perk for the Rocky Point area.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a standard Hampton hot buffet breakfast is included daily.
Is the pool heated?
It's an outdoor pool described as seasonal, so don't expect bathwater temps in the winter.
Are there hidden fees?
There's a minor $1.50/night destination fee, but thankfully no massive $30+ resort fees like neighboring hotels.
Can I walk to the beach?
Ben T Davis Beach is about a mile away, but you're walking along a busy highway—driving or Ubering is safer.
טיפים פנימיים
- ✨
Skip the hotel dinner and walk 0.7 miles to Whiskey Joe's for a beachfront bar vibe and great sunset views.
- ✨
If you miss the breakfast window, the hotel offers 'On the Run' breakfast bags at the front desk.
- ✨
Ask for a room on the 5th floor (top level) to avoid heavy footsteps from above.
5 דברים שכדאי לדעת לפני שתצא
💡The hotel is technically on the water at Rocky Point, but you don't get a private beach.
💡The $1.50 'destination fee' is small but annoying for a budget chain.
💡The Courtney Campbell Trail is right nearby—great for a morning run or bike ride over the water.
💡Housekeeping is only full-service every fourth night unless requested.
💡The lobby coffee station is a lifesaver for early flights before breakfast opens.
