I stayed at Hampton Inn it was nice and convenient. My only thing was the toilet when I flushed it the water didn’t come up, I had to lift the top and press down on the knob to make the water run again. Each time. Overall everything was good the breakfast was nice and tasty.

Roaches
The check in desk was very nice. Room was fine until…. We were there visiting Moffitt Clinic and I had laid out middle of the night medication. When I got up to give my husband his, there were 5 roaches scampering away! Breakfast the next morning was adequate. Scrambled eggs, link sausage cut into rounds. Canned gravy and bisquits. Waffle maker, toaster, good assortment of breakfast muffins. Juice and coffee. Yogurt and bananas and oranges. It was just hard to put the roaches out of my mind while eating. Will not be staying there again.

Great stay!
We had an outstanding stay at this hotel for Howl-O-Scream! The front desk staff and shuttle bus driver were both exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the front desk team was welcoming, attentive, and quick to address any of our needs. They made check-in effortless and offered the shuttle service as a convenient option.
The shuttle bus service was equally fantastic, with a driver who was both friendly and accommodating. We truly appreciated the care and professionalism from the entire staff. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Howl-O-Scream!

Nice hotel - except…
Hotel and location were great. Clean and friendly. Only issue is if your room is on the street side you will not be able to sleep for the traffic noise. Also was not able to fully close the blinds. I did not sleep due to the bright light and traffic noise.

Was a nice hotel that's close to the park, has a good selection for breakfast, and was clean. Pam at the front desk was absolutely delightful and helped make our stay that much more pleasant, especially for my 2 year old daughter. We'll definitely be back, if we get a hotel in Tampa again.
