“Great Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

I have to say that the Quality Inn in Ybor City went all out for us. We had a group of 12 going on a cruise that left Tampa Bay. We stayed there the the night before. Rooms were very nice ans clean, the pool was clean and looked very nice. The hot breakfast was nice and the staff was great. The only thing wrong was when we made reservations three months in advance the person did not tell us they had a shuttle. No road noise or loud guests.

“Best lodging close to the Fairgrounds”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

After reviewing several motels/hotels close to the Fairgrounds in Tampa, we located the Quality Inn just off I-4. It is rated a 3 star hotel by AAA. The room rate was reasonable, especially with what was offered. We made reservations for 2 nights. Upon arriving we were welcomed by their friendly staff. Coffee and tea are provided in the lobby 24 hours a day. Our room was located on the first level, it was very clean and provided us with a refrigerator, TV and 2 very comfortable Queen size beds, plus access to exercise equlipment and an outdoor swimming pool. The palm trees around the pool were strung with Christmas lights. Very chic!. The hotel provided a very nice breakfast buffet, starting at 7 a.m. The staff always greeted us and asked if we needed anything. The Fairgounds were just 3 miles away and very easy to get to.
Definitely a place we will stay again.

Room Tip: We arrived close to check in time (3 pm) and got an excellent room located close to the lobby, first...

“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

We were to stay for just for a night as it was too late for us to drive to Naples after the delay of our flight arrival. Check - in / Check - out was smooth. We found the staff not so friendly and quite stiff with pleasantries. Though the room given to us was in a quiet zone, spacious and clean. Ample parking space is being provided and breakfast is just OK. Eating area is not spacious and quite congested. Therefore we took a take - away to enjoy it at a bench near the pool. I would recommend it for a short stay.

“Awesome staff and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

Our experience at Quality Inn & Suites Near Fairgrounds Ybor City was awesome. Their staff treated all of us very well and took great care of us. Oh....and when I say all of us, I am talking about a group of 14. We stayed at this hotel for a total of 3 nights; one night before our cruise and two nights after. They provided us with transportation to and from the port as well as to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. They provide a continental breakfast and the hotel, rooms, and pool area were nicely clean - thats always a plus.
When we learned that our cruise ship didn't dock to the port when expected, the staff at the hotel kindly let us stay as long as we needed without any extra charges. When arriving back from our cruise, we were able to check in a little early. They definitely went beyond my expectations to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Would I reccommend this hotel.....absolutely!!

“Fantastic Service at Quality Inn in Ybor City.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

I have to say that the Quality Inn in Ybor City went all out for us. We had a group of 14 going on a cruise that left Tampa Bay. We stayed there the the night before we left and our cruise was delayed 10 hours because of Fog. The Quality Inn Team told us not to worry about checking out. We could stay at the Hotel as long as we needed and they would not charge us a cent. So we hung out at their great pool all day until it was time for us to leave, They even took our huge group to the Cruise Terminal that day. When we arrived back from our cruise we had booked two more nights with them. They picked us up from the cruise terminal and had scheduled Rooms to be ready for us when we got back. Mind you this was only 10:30 AM and check out wasn't till later so they went out of their way to make sure we had a place to stay. They then hooked us up with a ride to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Game and a ride back where we were given a brief tour of the city of Ybor. They took us to the grocery store when we needed things. They even took us to the Airport when it was time to go home. Bobby and his Team were terrific and went out of their way to take care of our large group. I would highly recommend the Quality Inn and Suites. If you stay remember to take care of them as well because they deserve it!

Room Tip: The only reason I gave them an average on Restaurants is because they do not have a restaurant in th...
