The Spotlight on Quality Inn & Suites Tampa-Ybor City

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Tampa's Music Scene

Modern, no-frills, and conveniently located, the Quality Inn & Suites Tampa-Ybor City puts you just 2.6 miles from the heart of Ybor City and under 15 minutes from some of Tampa’s biggest concert venues. With perks like free WiFi, a heated outdoor pool, and free parking, this hotel is a solid base for music lovers looking to catch a show without blowing their budget.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a quick drive to top venues like the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater, Amalie Arena, and Seminole Hard Rock Casino. It’s far enough from the nightlife buzz to offer a quieter night’s sleep, yet close enough for a cheap ride-share or quick drive after the encore. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out offer some flexibility, and late-night lobby coffee helps with the post-show wind-down.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for affordable digs and easy access to shows
- Solo travelers catching a must-see artist on tour
- Couples planning a concert-filled weekend
- Fans looking for peace and quiet after a loud night out
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers free lobby coffee and is close to Ybor City’s famous food scene, packed with late-night eateries, bars, and diners. A refrigerator and coffee machine in every room makes it easy to stash snacks or prep a quick bite before heading to a show. Breakfast is typically available in the morning—perfect after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Ybor City is just a few miles away and packed with bars, lounges, and live music venues. Whether you’re into craft brews, chill cocktails, or dancing till late, there’s something close by. The hotel itself is quieter, so you can party downtown and return to some peace.

What People Say

Guests frequently mention the great value, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Many appreciate the free parking and how easy it is to get to concerts and events. Reviewers also like the pool as a relaxing bonus between shows.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the property could use a few updates, and while the area is convenient, it’s not the most walkable for late-night returns. Still, most agree it’s clean, safe, and solid for the price.

The Bottom Line

A great budget choice for concert-goers who want easy access to Tampa’s venues without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Nice for the price. Location...

Liked: The room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the staff was very nice.
Disliked: Upon check-in, we witnessed a security guard having a scuffle with someone and requesting that the police be called. Also, the air conditioning was out in the lobby, while it did not hamper my stay, it did give the initial impression of "Oh, crap! Do these people really consider the upkeep of their facility?" However, I will also state that they did have large temporary units in the lobby, although only one was running at any time I was there. Another thing we disliked about our stay was that we wished that the breakfast had more options and that we could have taken it back to our room to eat.
