While vacationing in Florida we had an early flight out of Tampa and wanted to spend the last night close to the airport. I was concerned by some of the negative reviews of other hotels near the airport, so chose Hampton Inn based on price, location, and somewhat better reviews. We were glad that we stayed there. It was clean, quite, and comfortable. The service was very good and it was as pleasant as a quick overnight stay can be. It was very quick and easy to get to the airport and the Bahama Breezes restaurant nearby was very good. I would definitely stay there again in a similar circumstance or if staying over for a cruise leaving from Tampa.

The hotel was nice, clean and conveniently located. Several restaurants will deliver to the hotel if you arrive late and don't feel like going out. The warm cookies were a great treat after a long flight.The breakfast had a good selection and food was replenished often. Erris at the front and the shuttle driver, Todd were very friendly and helpful.

Hampton Inn is our go-to chain so we have a good sense of what to expect. Our first impression was not so good, but the staff was so charming and helpful, things changed quickly. We asked about a room with a refrigerator and they solved the problem by bring a fridge to our room. The maids were discreet and unbelievably quick and efficient. Everything was in perfect order when we came back from our excursions.

The location is just excellent. We were in and out of Tampa, and made trips to St. Petersburg, Sarasota and even to Bonita Springs. A very early flight home made quick access to the airport especially desirable.

I was sorry that the treadmill in the exercise room was out of order, but them's the breaks. However, I learned from a weekend desk clerk that Hampton Inn buys home-type equipment rather than professional equipment and it just doesn't stand up to extra-big guys running for a few miles. Good to know. The disinfectant wipes also had disappeared from the room, and still had not reappeared, even after I reported that there were none. In a terrible flu season like this one, that is just not acceptable.

Once again, we are happy to be regular guests at Hampton Inn.

Close to the airport and easily accessible by highway, this place makes a great location for travel in and out of Tampa. Staff are friendly and professional. Very comfortable beds. Breakfast is ample, the staff is constantly replenishing the food so it remains fresh. Swimming pool is tiny and can only be reached by walking through the parking lot.
