Hampton Inn and Suites Tampa - Ybor City Downtown - Tampa

This was a great hotel but in kind of a run down part of town. Hotel garage parking was limited so we had to park in a dirt overflow lot. Staff was really nice and helpful.

Overall a nice place to stay. Some positives: extremely clean room, nice staff, location to downtown Ybor attractions, continental breakfast was decent.....some negatives: location is in unattractive neighborhood, charge for parking, noisy air conditioning unit

Great stay. The hotel is perfectly located to enjoy Ybor City. The rooms are clean, staff pleasant.

We stay here every year and walk to Tropical Heatwave. Location is perfect and the property is just fine.

This is a great location right in Ybor. We walked to the various bars and restaurants in the area and had a great time. The room was a decent size and we had a whirlpool bathtub in the living room area. It was kind of an awkward set up for the whirlpool but it was still a nice to have after a long day. The hotel was fairly clean and seemed well maintained. […] They charged us for parking in the hotel ramp (which I thought was kind of ridiculous). Read more

We always stay at a Hampton Inn when vacationing because it's a family-friendly hotel with an excellent staff and a reputation for a clean room. This particular Hampton Inn in Ybor City does not disappoint. Pros: One of the nicest and most helpful staff we've ever come across, a clean room with a small fridge and microwave as an added bonus, complimentary […] breakfast in the morning (not as big as some of the other Hampton Inns we've stayed at, but definitely sufficient), close to highways for travel, and a very pretty and fun neighborhood to explore. Cons: pool was outside and a bit chilly (we're just used to indoor pools, so it's just a con for us), you have to pay for parking (a first for us), and parking in downtown Tampa in general is a bit confusing since you have to pay for all street parking. All in all, we loved our stay. The hotel was perfectly situated for our needs, an hour drive to both Disney World and Sarasota, and a 15 minute drive to both Busch Gardens and the airport. We did not take advantage of the free 3-mile limit shuttle, but that was a nice feature nonetheless. Read more

The staff were very welcoming and the room was clean and ready to go. It's a great location if you are going out in Ybor City. My only complaint is that the free internet didn't work great in my room (but I was at the far end of the hall, so probably something to do with that). A great deal for what you get.

Right in the heart of YBor city! Night life half a block away kept us busy.

I stayed here for a bachelorette party in Ybor City. It was right on the strip within walking distance of restaurants and the clubs. If you're going out for a night on the town and aren't driving home stay here. Be advised though the parking lot is small and if it's a busy weekend you may need to park in the overflow lot behind the hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The receptionist on the nigh shift would NOT smile under any circumstances. We must have offended her telepathically before our arrival. The Internet service was almost non-existent. But the hotel is very well located for all Ybor City amenities and the staff during the day shifts was reasonably competent and friendly.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was a little worried about the neighborhood and location of the hotel at first. But I went out every night with my boyfriend and I never felt any danger. The hotel had great security in place with all outside doors opening only with a valid hotel key. The room was great and clean. My only complaint would be that the parking garage was really tight […] and I arrived late to the hotel the first night and had to park in an empty lot next to the hotel. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is located within easy walking distance of all of Ybor City's restaurants and nightlife. The hotel entrance is hard to find. While the address is 7th Avenue, parking is on another street that can be hard to find initially. We actually entered the parking garage and left the car before taking an elevator up to the lobby to check in. Its convenient […] enough once you know where you are going though. They also had no problem with early check ins. Read more

Extremely busy and 'special event' weekend, but staff made up for inconveince I first experience. Registration was having computer issues, so after 3 attempts, I finally got a room that wasn't already occupied. They were sincerely apologetic about the entire situation and inconveince for myself and family....especially since we had to tote our luggage […] back and forth each time. Management immediately 'comped' ALL my charges during my stay. This is not what I expected and truly appreciate and would highly recommend staying here and plan to do so for next 'special event' in the area! Read more

The front desk clerk was extremely friendly and showed real southern hospitality. The room was clean, bed was very comfortable and anything we asked for was done in a very timely manner. I would suggest this hotel to everyone & yes, I would stay there again.

The entire hotel staff (front desk, maintenance, driver and housekeeping) was extremely friendly. The continental breakfast was perfect and very satisfying. I would stay at this hotel again if I am in the Ybor City area.

We really enjoyed our stay, we will be back. Our room was not ready, so the comped our parking and served us cocktails. Very nice place to stay and service is impeccable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Liked the free breakfast. The room was pretty decent in size. The pillows were not good at all- if you suffer from neck or shoulder problems, you might want to bring your own. Nice that it was a secure hotel because the surrounding area was shady and there were many night-owls creeping about. Easy to get anywhere in Tampa from there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Well, let me begin by saying that anything complementary or good that I could say about this hotel as a result of our one-night stay is and will be overshadowed by the fact that we ended up staying in a smoking room through no fault of our own. Suffice to say, the hotel was quite difficult to find – with all the road detours and having to navigate at […] night. Upon our arrival, there was no direction to find the entrance to the hotel. Hotels.com mentioned an additional charge for daily parking. What hotels.com did NOT mention was that parking space was very limited and it was “first come, first serve”. Upon entering the hotel, we were quite surprised to find out that the hotel was fully booked and that we were placed in a smoking room. This accommodation was contrary to the fact that we booked a non-smoking room in advance of this stay. Furthermore, I found it appalling that the front desk personnel were not even slightly concerned or sympathetic to the booking mistake. They could’ve attempted to make assurances like, “we will contact you ASAP if a non-smoking room becomes available and we will transfer you immediately”, or something of the like. A simple “sorry” was all we received. In a nutshell, we felt like we were staying inside a dump. The entire room smelled, including the bathroom. In conclusion, this hotel stay was a big mistake. It will certainly be our last booking this hotel and it was certainly not worth the premium price we paid for the stay. Read more

We were given the room we booked when we checked in, a King Suite non smoking. Five seconds after entering the room the desk called and told us we had to move because our room wasnt guaranteed. They moved us to a tiny, double bed, smoking room that smelled so bad my nose and eyes burned. My feet stuck to the floor and the AC continuously turned off. […] The only apology from the desk "Let me know if you need some febreeze or something." We had a very important obligation the next morning downtown our we would have been O-U-T. This place is terrible. Read more

I really dont care about a hotel being luxurious just as long as it is clean. Thats what this hotel is..."clean." Great location and within walking distance of the bars and restaurants. Their breakfast buffet is good and they have a complimentary trolley that will take you to channelside. The beds are comfortable and each room has a good size refridgerator […] and microwave. Also has great wifi signal for those that travel with their laptop. The security seems good as you have to use your card key to get in through every entry and is required to use the elevator. The only thing thats not convienent is that parking is limited. Read more

I picked this hotel for its location, i enjoy nightlife, and in particular i enjoy being within walking distance to a local epicenter of it. Thus it was a perfect fit in that regard. What i didn't expect was for how clean and comfortable the rooms and hotel would be, or how just simply friendly, welcoming and professional the staff at all levels were. […] If it was within their pervue to help, they would do so without hesitation. My room was large and comfortable, the bed had a dream inducing soporific effect that was wonderful after some late nights. Suggestions for improvement would be to up the quality of the scrambled eggs at breakfast, not that it matters as everything else is fine and tasty, but the eggs seem to be oddly out of place where everything else is quite good. Also increasing the internet bandwidth to the hotel would be nice as it can get painfully slow at peak times. All in i recommend it if you want to be close to the fun in Ybor, and downtown is only a quick trolley ride away Read more

In Florida to go to a meeting in Naples and decided to spend an extra day in Tampa before going on to Naples. Very nice area and close to everything.

The hotel and customer service was nice but after reviewing my credit card statement I was charged for two days of parking when I only stayed one night. After calling the customer service Rep couldn't explain why but credited my bank card. I was told there were no charges when I checked out. Always obtain a printed receipt even if you reserve through […] hotel.com. Read more

We encountered some problems when we stayed 5 nights. For 2 of the days, we could not get the front desk to answer the phone to set a wake up call. We tried both the wake up button and the "O" button repeatedly. Also, one day the housekeeper did not come by despite the fact we were out of the room by 9am. Otherwise, everything was just fine.

great experience, well maintained hotel with friendly service

Genuine Expedia guest review

staff was helpful in accommodating my room request. Good, hot, Hampton breakfast. Conveniently located in downtown Ybor city. (Prepare to pay extra for parking.) For a great dining experience, go to the Columbia restaurant. Hotel even provided a shuttle there.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is located right in the heart of Tampa's Ybor City. If you've never been, think New Orleans; that's what it feels like. Lots of old buildings with unique shops. There is a coffee roasting company down the street, and the smell of coffee is delicious. Also plenty of cigar shops along the street, good restaurants ... and if you want a tattoo, […] you'll have plenty of options! The hotel was clean, with very friendly staff. It isn't new, but it's well-kept and decent for the price. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast in morning was adequate, with lots of "standard" hotel free-breakfast variety, like waffles, muffins, fruit, yogurt. Good coffee. Read more

Had a nice weekend stay at very convenient location for Ybor and Tampa. First time I ever had a problem with housekeeping/room service in not responding to plumbing scenario.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good breakfast, friendly staff, clean room and comfortable bed. Parking was expensive, and we usually had to park in the lot across the street (at no additional cost), but at least we had a place to park in Ybor and could walk to so many areas.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The stay was short but comfortable. Hampton Inn is a well run hotel chain and they just treat their customers with a lot of consideration. They are definitely one of my first choices when looking for a good value for your money.

Service was great and the location even better. The complimentary breakfast was tasty.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was our second stay at the Hampton Ybor and for good reason: Excellent service, clean rooms and a perfect location. Located on historic 7th Avenue in Ybor, the hotel is a perfect base to explore Ybor City and Tampa. The hotel's staff is super friendly and always willing to go out of their way to help a guest. On this recent trip the parking garage […] was seemingly full, yet the staff walked through the facility to find/create a parking space for us. Honestly can't say enough positive things. Will definitely stay here again. Read more

Just like my title states, Average Hotel but bad location. Upon arrival the front desk tell you not to go left because its the "Dark Side" it's never a good sign. We had a guy try and start a fight with my son as we tried entering the elevators. I did not feel safe in this hotel due to its poor location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Only negative would be not seeing the info about 8.00 daily parking charge.

The room was not very clean, there was rust on the bathroom door, the carpet was old and ripped, and the noise was horrible. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We did not like the parking situation. It was extremely tight and there were clearly not enough spaces for the number of rooms in the hotel. Def not worth the $8.00 per night parking fee. Hotel is right on the busy 7th avenue portion of Ybor city. Walking distance to a lot of nightlife. Hotel has added security measures to ensure guest safety.

It took two calls and some work on my own to get the Internet Wifi working. Second call told me to use the ATTWifi tower instead of the HHOTEL (BROKEN) tower that the instructions from the front desk had told me to use. For the TV it always came on pointing at the Hotels ADD channel at almost FULL Volume and it normally took three or four tries before […] it would stay on long enough to change the channel and lower the volume. As for the beds if you like HARD beds this is your place. AND worst of all the the highest the AC could be set was 75 (I'm 60 and from florida anything much below 80 is COLD) and that ment it didn't auto-cutoff until below 70 so to control the temputer you hand to turn it off and on be the manual switch.

It would have been more helpful to know about the transportation from the hotel to convention center earlier. I found it to be ok but would have preferred the shuttle to have left a little earlier since I had 8am scheduled Sessions. I worked around that issue.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very good experience. We like to stay in Ybor City when we visit Tampa as we can walk from our hotel to many bars and restaurants. The hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful and the room was very comfortable.
