Hotels in Tampa, FL

Okay so I stayed here to take the July bar exam and for the price it is definitely worthwhile. The hotel was completely booked and so it is a good idea to keep that in mind--there may be a wait to check in and the restaurant (just a modest bar) will be overrun during the evenings. The hotel has a large parking lot which was good, and since everyone else is there for the same thing there were no noise problems on these days. The room itself was nothing glamorous but spacious and suitable for my purposes (exactly what you would expect at a 3-star hotel). The location is also convenient. It is a 25-30 minute walk to the Convention Center and they have 2 shuttles running constantly back and forth. I expected long lines for the shuttle but I didn't have that problem. One day I got right on and the other I had to wait about 15 minutes, and once you're on, it only takes about five minutes to get there--traffic is light. My only complaint would be that the wireless was a bit unreliable. I had some problems with the Internet being slow and after the first day everyone got back and tried to upload their essays at the same time and the Internet went down for 2 hours, which was really stressful since you have to upload the answers by a certain time. Overall there may be nicer hotels that are even closer to the Center but you will pay at least double what this place costs. Smooth stay so I would recommend this place.

Great hotel, clean with good amenities. Breakfast bar worth the price. Close by the airport but no noise. Easy access to the highway.

Absolutely AMAZING! I've been to Bern's, I've been to Charley's, to Outback, to Ivaroni's, to making my own filets. The taste of the filet at 725 South WAS SO UNBELIEVABLY DELISH! What a great experience. I was very sketchy at first of ordering due to the restaurant being totally dead. There was only one person there eating soup.. My boyfriend insisted we proceed due to the reviews he read. The reviews were right. Steven was like our personal waiter. He is the best waiter I have ever had. Steven has a great personality, he is just awesome. Steven reminds me of a waiter in a movie that is how good he is. He went above and beyond for us. My boyfriend hates vegetables but will eat corn. There was no corn on the menu and Steven found some corn for him. I asked if I could get cheese or something in the mashed potatoes and Steven put bacon and cheese, WOW they were SO YUMMY. Steven made the experience 100x better, and the filet to die for. Also, 725 South has HUGE windows with a great view of downtown Tampa and a wter view.

This was a weekend getaway for my wife and I and we thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. The waterside view from our room was great and the hotel had everything we needed (restaurants, pool & spa).

The hotel has a luxurious feel and classy appearance. The manager's reception (happy hour# and complimentary breakfast with omlette station is top-notch. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The only two criticisms I have are that I had to pay extra for internet #$15/day# and parking #$20/day). The parking actually adds up to more when you factor in tips every time they retrieve your car. Other than that, this hotel is exceptional.

This room was by no means the best I've ever slept in but the surroundings were comfortable, staff was nice, and everyone seemed very accommodating

This is a nice hotel. Nice pool and on site restaurant and bar. The only real issue I had was, they were going through some renovations throughout my stay. Noisy jack hammering and construction site atmosphere all day. I may not have chose this hotel if I knew this in advance. Oddly enough, as close as it is to the airport, there is very little flight noise at night. It is also very close to all major highways which makes for easy travel in and out of the city.
