Getting to your show is a breeze—this hotel is just minutes from major venues, including the 1-800 Ask Gary Amphitheatre. After the encore, return to a quieter part of town, perfect for winding down. Free parking and proximity to highways make ride-shares and late-night returns easy. Plus, with 24-hour service and a soothing hot tub, it’s a solid post-concert recovery spot.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends—plenty of room to spread out in the suites
• Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list concert
• Couples looking for a relaxed weekend stay
• Fans needing a quiet place to crash after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even after a late night) with continental, buffet, or American breakfast options. While there's no on-site bar or restaurant, each suite includes a fridge, microwave, and even a dishwasher—perfect for snacks and leftovers. Vending machines on-site make late-night cravings easy to handle, and there are plenty of casual dining spots just a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel’s immediate area is more peaceful than party-central, you’re only a short ride from Tampa’s nightlife spots. Head toward Ybor City or downtown for bars, clubs, and live music venues—or chill out in the hotel’s cozy shared lounge if you’re winding down.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious suites, quiet location, and friendly staff. Many highlight the full kitchen setup as a major plus, especially for longer stays. Reviewers also appreciate the free breakfast and how close the hotel is to concert venues without being in the middle of the chaos.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor feels a bit dated in places, and the lack of a full restaurant or on-site bar might be a downside for those wanting everything in one spot. Still, the tradeoff is peace and quiet after a noisy night out.

The Bottom Line

Staybridge Suites Tampa East- Brandon is a reliable, comfortable pick for concert-goers who want space to relax, easy venue access, and a quiet escape after the show.
