Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa/ybor City/downtown, Tampa

Excellent - very satisfied.

Liked: Friendly staff. Tony, the courtesy van driver, was amazing. He got everyone to the concert on time and provided verbal entertainment during the ride. Tony is the BEST!
Disliked: One of the two elevators was not working.

Other than having to pay to park the hotel was great! Clean, roomy rooms; amazingly friendly staff; close to venues and food!

Liked: Will be staying again for sure!

If we ever go to St. Pete Times Forum again we will stay at this hotel. Rooms were clean, with microwave and fridge. Beds were comfortable. Very secure, even had to use key card to access elevators. Very clean pool. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a free shuttle that ran until 10:00 pm and my kids loved the free breakfast in the morning! Definitely a great hotel!

Liked: Clean Rooms, Great Staff, Free Shuttle, Excellent Breakfast, Clean Pool

Good

Liked: The location where we wanted to be closer to the docks to get our cruise ship the following day.
Disliked: The surrounding area was sketchy. Only 2-3 blocks away to walk to nearby restaurants we walked by Prostitutes and their Pimps.

Fabulous

OK

Liked: Location for an event. Secure parking. Checkin lady awesome.
Disliked: $350 for one night was a bit of a gouge. Guess they knew they could get it on holiday.

Good

Disliked: The floor in the bathroom was sticky

Exceptional

Liked: Wonderful staff! They was very helpful and the shuttle driver was very nice
Disliked: Only bad thing was music outside our window played too late

Superb

Liked: Location. Cleanliness. Staff. Room size.
Disliked: Our room overlooked a tram station which was noisy. Also by an elevator which had loud people coming and going to the early hours. This is not the hotels fault although maybe a sign asking guests after 10:00pm to be quiet. I would stay here again but would ask for a room in another area.

Exceptional

Overall, Ybor City was great...

Liked: The breakfast was very good compared to other Hamptons hot breakfasts. It was easy to explore Ybor City. The staff was friendly.
Disliked: The $10 parking fee is expensive for a underground garage that was not secure. It was wide open for access to anyone 24-7. Also, the parking is limited so on the 2nd night we had to park across the street in an open lot with no refund on the 10 dollar fee. Also, the air conditioning was SO loud in the room that it would actually wake us up in the night. If we were watching TV, we had to crank the sound up high to be able to hear it over AC blowing. It did, however, cool the room. But if you want to rest during your stay, you will need your earplugs.
