What Guests Are Saying
“5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ , The hotel experience was wonderful, but Ms. Tonya is truly the best! She is one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. She goes out of her way to make every guest feel welcome and cared for. Whether she’s keeping the breakfast area spotless, handing out crayons and coloring pages to the kids, or simply checking to make sure everyone has what they need, she’s is so attentive with a smile. Keep in mind, this is during the free breakfast. A great way to start your day. She absolutely deserves recognition for her outstanding customer service. She made our stay feel like a true home away from home. I travel a lot but this was by far the best. We’ll definitely be back!” — DK A., 5 stars
“This was a great place to stay. Close to the Casino, they do have a shuttle to the Casino. It was also close to Ybor City, Tampa’s River Walk, Bass Pro. This hotel was very clean and the service was 100%! We received texts to make sure our stay was going well, and if we needed anything. Our room was very clean and smelled clean. The breakfast was good and the staff kept it filled. The beds were comfortable and slept well as the hotel was quiet. The hotel had a friendly atmosphere with the staff and decor. It was a very nice hotel and amenities for the money, and we would definitely stay there again.” — Cheryl M., 5 stars

Modupe made sure I was on the top floor away from the elevator and the ice machine. I also spoke with Joe the maintenance man and he welcomed me to the hotel, he said if I needed anything at all to let him know. The room is very spacious and very clean. I have stayed in Hampton Inns before but this one is one of the best."
