Hotels in Tampa, FL

We had a wedding in St. Petersburg on a Saturday, with a late flight coming into Tampa on Friday night / leaving early Monday morning. We wanted to be near the airport, but did not want to stay in a "business hotel" or some hi-rise hotel with kids running up and down the halls. We read the reviews here and are very happy we stayed at Chase Suite Hotel Tampa! The place looks like a condo complex from the early 1980's. Our suite included a full kitchen, w/countertop & bar stools, a spacious bathroom and dressing area, good closet and drawer space and most important... a comfortable bed. I was impressed with the extra top sheet over the comforter to keep the bed looking and feeling really clean (I usually strip the comforter off the bed since it is a well know fact that comforters aren't cleaned maybe as often as they should be.) We stayed for three nights and each morning felt refreshed. The breakfast was good. We liked the make your own waffle station and the hard boiled eggs (with the shells off!). The variety changed little from day to day, but the choices were pretty common for a continental american breakfast -cereal, muffins, bagels, toast, oatmeal, juice, coffee & tea. The attendant was cheery and kept all of the areas clean and well stocked. The pool was small, but come on... you don't come to Florida for the hotel pools. There were a few outdoor sitting areas by the water that you could sit and watch people on jetskis and the cars on the highway. Next door was Bahama Breeze. We ate there twice. The food was good as well as the prices (we live outside of NYC so for us it was cheap). The drinks were good and people watching was really fun :) My husband and I both felt that the Chase Suite Hotel Tampa was a very good value, and we would have no issues with recommending this property.

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

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.

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).

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

Everybody was very helpful and attended my needs above my expectations

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.
