Top Downtown Tampa Hotel Reviews

Mint House Tampa Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic place"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Channel District

8/10 Good

"Property was in a great location especially if you’re going or coming back from a cruise. They offered a shuttle to and from the port or it was just a 15 minute walk to Sparkman Wharf. Wish breakfast remained open longer. Was only available until 9:00. Our room was nice and spacious but did notice these black spots on the ceiling above the bed. Not sure what they were. Didn’t get a chance to use the pool but looked nice with plenty of seating, grills, and fire pit area."

Residence Inn By Marriott Tampa Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second time staying at this location. I like the convenience of being close to everything downtown. There was construction this time around so a little more hectic and loud. I do not love the parking situation and that I have to go across the street, use a parking garage and if it is a busy time you may not find a spot since you can only park in designated areas. Would like to see the breakfast be a little more upgraded. Overall I give it a good rating because it is a good hotel choice."
