Top University of Tampa Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay. The room was clean and the staff was exceptionally kind. I will be back!"

Mint House Tampa Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay all things considered!"

The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"I LOVED the concierge driver that would take you anywhere within 10 miles. That was wonderful!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Convention Center

8/10 Good

"very close to my venue, parking was tricky, did valet instead $$is for the area"

Hotel Haya

10/10 Excellent

"Our first room smelled musty, and Abigail happily upgraded us to a beautiful suite that didn’t smell musty at all. We only stayed for the one night (following the Lightning’s home opener win), but if we could have, we would’ve stayed for a week. The in-house Café Quiquiriqui offers free Buddy Brew coffee for hotel guests in the morning and made us a delicious (and reasonably priced), made-to-order breakfast sandwich with real eggs. Hotel Haya is a true gem and a great value. Highly recommend."
