Hotels near Tampa International Airport, Tampa

Everyone was friendly and helpful

Close to the airport, convenient to take a plane, other general

While we only live 20 minutes away from Tampa Airport in St. Petersburg, we do not like to take the chance of having an accident on the bridge and missing an early morning flight. We have stayed here in the past but that was way before Covid started. The one thing this Marriott has gong for it is being directly connected to the Main Terminal via a carpeted, air conditioned corridor which houses the Tampa Airport Art Gallery. So if you have a very early morning flight, the hotel location allows you to avoid getting up an hour or more earlier to take an area hotel courtesy bus to the airport. I grew up in St Pete and believe the Marriott Hotel was built when the current Tampa Airport location was developed so that is 25+ years ago. While the Airport itself has modernized itself over the years, this hotel has not. The rooms are small. The bathrooms very small. No room to even provide an in-room microwave so they have one on each floor next to the ice machine to be shared by all on that floor. Yuck! If you reserve and pay for one of their ”Larger ” guest rooms as described on their website, you may get a few extra square feet of room and a love seat rather then a one person easy chair. Beware.....make sure you get the type room you were confirmed for as they tried to give us the standard size room when we reserved the larger room at a higher rate. Do not bother paying more for a Concierge Level room as the lounge was closed when Covid started and they have never reopened it. For dinner, we tried to order room service. FYI....there are 3 fast food restaurants and two table service ones in the Main Terminal. Dinner time food is available from the Skyye Bar and Grill. You must order through the Marriott App however I found both price and menu item discrepancies between what was listed there and what I saw on the menu posted on the hotel's Marriott website. So I called to speak to someone in room service. There isn't anyone available to talk to. So I went down stairs to the Front Desk and it just so happens that the Food Manager was standing there. I pointed out to her all the discrepancies, which was really confusing to me as a guest, and she said she would have someone look into it. Meanwhile she offered to take our order. When it came, it was all take out food containers, plastic silverware, and paper packets of salt and pepper. I know this type of service was necessary during the height of Covid, but now? Where's the room service with food brought up on a tray or cart that could be used as a dining table? Yet I was stilled charged a 3% Room Service Delivery Charge and a $5.00 ”Other” charge with no explanation. So it cost us $56 for a Thai Salad, a Caesar Salad, and a very small Pizza. Best you take a walk to the Main Terminal and find something there. Luckily I reserved our room last January for $175. I kept checking prices since then to see if they would go lower. At one recent point, that same room was listed for $350. Not worth that type

I stay in hotels frequently and I have status with both Hilton and Marriott but I would consider Marriott my day ones as throughout my career and travel heavy periods of my life, Marriott has been a mainstay. Based on the frequency with which I stay at hotels, as well as the understanding that staffing and supply chain shortages are making service more difficult than ever, I just had to commend this location. Though it’s an older location, the rooms are renovated, I was upgraded to a suite, the rates were phenomenal, parking was convenient, and the location could not be beat. But even better than that, every staff member, from Yuni at the front desk to the cleaning crew to the restaurant lounge staff, was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and provided memorable service. I’m adding this hotel to my list of favorites and it will be a mainstay during my frequent business trips in Tampa. Thanks again! It almost felt like pre-Covid times. #Hospitality2022

Stayed here for 3 nights during Hurricane Ian after the airport was closed and we lost our flight home. Very comfortable and quiet room with good bedding and helpful cleaning staff. Reception staff were sympathetic and helpful in getting us rooms under the circumstances even though the duty manager was uninterested in our plight. Thanks to them we had somewhere safe to shelter. A/C was set very cold throughout the hotel and we had to turn it off in our room. Bar area was fairly basic, and food seemed expensive for what it was, but staff friendly and helpful. Cant comment on other amenities as they eere all closed due to the hurricane.

The location of the hotel is very good. It is next to the largest mall in Tampa. When you exit the hotel door, turn right and there is a restaurant street with all kinds of food. It is highly recommended.

I stayed at this hotel to leave my car and fly to the Caribbean from Tampa Airport and on my return as well. I was stunned. It is by far the nicest Hampton Inn I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in hundreds!!! It is beautiful and the staff could not have been any friendlier or nicer or more helpful. The breakfast was the best as well. The shuttle was on time and nice and runs every half hour 24 hours a day which I had to have due to such an early flight. It was a wonderful Hampton experience!!! Thank you to all the staff!!! I will always stay there for all my flights out of Tampa Airport.
