Stayed here for 1 night prior to taking a Carnival cruise. Hotel was a great choice and you have the option of a free shuttle anywhere within a 2 mile radius or it is possible to do some walking. If you aren't sure where something is or need a recommendation, ask the front desk staff..they have directions available to a... more

The bedroom and living room spaces are not well separated so this works much better for a single traveler if significant work time must be done. The free breakfast was good, the managers reception is not worth attending, the staff is friendly, the free internet and computer use in the lobby is a great touch. What makes this slightly out... more

We stayed here one night before a cruise out of Tampa Bay. I wanted to be downtown for the nightlight but most of the hotels were very expensive downtown. This was a good price as was the Courtyard connected to it. It's not in the best part of the ciy but they have a great shuttle that will take you... more

I cannot rave enough about this spot. Close to the airport, minutes from channelside AND Ybor city. There is a bonus courtesy shuttle that goes to Channelside, Ybor, and anywhere within a 2 mile radius of the hotel. The rooms are modern, large, and comfortable. And the value, at a reg rate of around $100 per night is truly a... more

I didn't stay here. When I went to check in and they wanted to charge me a $100 pet fee due to the "additional cleaning necessary" with a pet, I did not stay. I can see charging a deposit and then refunding due to the pet, or charging $50... but $100 is ridiculous. Its on the website but you have... more

I went to Tampa to visit my ailing cousin and we stayed at this hotel. It had a nice staff, clean comfortable rooms and the pool was a bit small but it was nice too. more

I found this hotel here on Tripadvisor and I am SO glad I stayed here. I am very picky about hotel rooms. I hate to be disappointed or uncomfortable. Sometimes hotel room furniture can be like dorm room furniture, to me anyway. I get grossed out by it, like what the last guests might have done to it. Newho, I... more

I must admit that I wasn't too excited to be staying at a Residence Inn but once I got there, that all changed. The hotel is lovely and looks to have been recently updated. My room was absolutely beautiful. Bright paint, nice pictures, granite countertops in the kitchenette...CLEAN! I mean, the place was so clean and updated that the shower... more

Stayed at the Residence Inn for 2 nights while I took the Florida Bar Exam. Can't say enough good things about the property. Shared a 2 bedroom suite with a friend who was also taking the bar. The suite was not that much more than staying at the nearby Howard Johnson (which I heard was pretty gross) and a lot... more
