Top Tampa Bay Hotel Reviews

Hollander Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love this place so much, such a cool vibe. Restaurant worth eating at too. Pool was AMAZE!"

The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"I was a regular at the Vinoy bar for dinner each Friday and though I like the renovation done to Marchand’s and the Terrace Room, the bar capacity left me a bit short when it came to capacity but suppose it"

GALAXY HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, nice views, and probably the best value of any hotel I've stayed at in the Tampa Bay area."

Hyatt Place St. Petersburg / Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great, the wharf area offers lots of dining and recreation options. Breakfast in house is a nice addition. Theres no need to run out or make reservations somewhere before starting the day. The pool and gym were easy to access, they had their own floor. Just open the elevator door and you arrive, no long corridors or labyrinths to maneuver. Hollie did a great job tidying my room and keeping things fresh. I had an excellent stay and will be returning soon."

Hampton Inn & Suites St. Petersburg/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the terrace room I booked. The mini fridge didn't work and had a weird smell but other than that the room was perfect. The location is AMAZING! I was in town for a concert at Jannus Live and it was a super quick walk. Then in the morning I walked to the pier which was gorgeous. Would stay again."
