Why Concert-goers love it

You’re never far from the action—just 1.1 miles from Raymond James Stadium and 4.2 miles from downtown Tampa hotspots.

- Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
- Fans who want a chilled-out space after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a free daily buffet breakfast—including post-concert-friendly hours. You’ll find plenty of dining options within walking or short driving distance, and the 24-hour front desk staff are happy to offer local tips. Great for grabbing a bite before or after the show.

Nightlife Options

You're just a quick ride from downtown Tampa’s bars and lounges, with live music and craft cocktails on tap. While the hotel itself is more low-key, the location makes it ideal for jumping into the city’s vibrant nightlife—or heading back to a quiet room when you're done.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms, friendly staff, and especially the location—close to both the airport and concert venues. The shuttle service and breakfast options also get frequent praise from reviewers who found it a perfect fit for quick music trips.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that while the area is convenient, it’s a bit more suburban than scenic. And since there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, you may need to venture out for dinner. That said, it’s all part of the Tampa concert experience!

The Bottom Line

A smart, affordable choice for concert-goers wanting easy venue access, quiet comfort, and great value near Tampa’s top music spots.
