Budget Hotels in Downtown Tampa, Tampa

"Rooms were always clean, and the staff at the pool bar and restaurant were very friendly. The staff at the front desk though? I have never encountered worse. When I checked in, the man appeared almost mad towards me. Had issues with my room and asked to be placed in similar room to what I had originally, the man said nothing nor looked at me and just handed me a new room key. Then at checkout to find out I was charged a 34.50 daily charge?! "

"Room was clean, beds and pillows were comfortable. Restaurant food was good. Pool was well maintained and plenty of towels were available. "

"The room was nice, only thing was that I booked a room at least a month in advance and called to check about it a couple days before my trip and I was told I would get whatever was available and not what I had already booked, which was a little weird."

"The room was in need of lots of repairs lighting was poor in the bathroom "

"Pool not open, never communicated prior to booking. Rooms are loud. Not impressed."

"I was disappointed to discover that this hotel also operates as a dormitory for the University of Tampa, which was not disclosed at the time of booking. As a result, the overall experience was far from what I expected from a hotel stay. Amenities such as the pool were essentially unusable due to overcrowding, and the lack of peace and quiet was a major issue. The hallways were consistently loud, with significant noise from late-night activity—often from 11:00 PM through 5:30 AM—making it difficult to rest. My stay, from Thursday through Sunday morning, was unfortunately very unpleasant. I strongly believe the Barrymore should be more transparent about this arrangement so guests can make informed decisions. Overall, this was a highly disappointing experience, and I would not recommend staying here."

"Everything was perfect!"

"Everything was excellent! Food was great! Pool was fabulous "

"Room was very nice/clean and staff at check-in was welcoming! Shuttle service was a nice extra to get around downtown Tampa. "
