Upon entering the room it was noticed that there were spots on the floor and the floor was sticky in the main walkway. So, we had the spend a towel on wiping up the sticky off the floor. Otherwise the stay was good and the staff were pleasant. No hot tub. Outdoor non heated pool. We were there in winter. Plenty of choices for dining nearby. Next door to Busch Gardens. I felt I was in a safe area. A pleasant stay over all.

The facility wasn't bad. The room was definitely clean. So clean, the chlorine in the pillows irritated our eyes. My daughter woke up with a rash below both eyes from her eyes burning & watering.
The room was facing the road & cars going by late at night were quite loud.
The shuttle service drivers were all excellent & the front desk gave my daughter a stuffed tiger toy & a pair of Busch Garden sunglasses.

I made it to the “Holiday Inn” or where I thought I was booked at. The website needs to be updated because it is not a Holiday Inn, it is a Red Roof Plus. But either way, my stay was fine all around. The rooms were very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable! Staff was all helpful and friendly as well.

Great
OOnTheRoamAgainThis hotel is great for it's proximity to Tampa airport. The shuttle service is free and easy to find within the airport too.
We arrived later in the evening and I think a few things had been going on in the hotel (or with guests) as the reception staff were a little preoccupied and not as friendly as we'd expected, but it was fine, we got into our room which was a good size, clean and we had a view of Tampa airport runways. We could hear the odd plane take off / land, but the sound did not bother us. The weather had dropped and wasn't great the weekend we stayed so we didn't get a chance to try out the small pool.
World of Beer is next door (walking) - this was great to go to for a burger in the evening as it didn't look like the hotel did food other than breakfast.
Breakfast was buffet style with a few hot items (they were lukewarm) which changed over the couple of days we were there. The waffles were great! The only downside to breakfast was that it was paper plates and plastic cutlery, but the food itself was nice. The coffee pots were available all the time in the hotel, not just at breakfast - this was great to grab a quick fix anytime.
If I needed a hotel for the airport I would stay here again or if I had access to a car, but we did not have a car, and Lyft / Uber's in and out of downtown Tampa could become expensive if you did that a couple of times a day.
We stayed here before getting on our Carnival Cruise from Channelside, Tampa. If we came again to cruise, I'd probably pay the extra and stay in downtown to be closer, but if we had a car to travel around, I'd definitely stay at the Hampton Inn, Avion Park as it was in a great location to tour from.
GGuest UserI stayed overnight ahead of a cruise vacation. The hotel was clean, room and bathroom were spacious and well set up. I was able to walk across the parking lot to the Chipotle for dinner, though chose to bring it back to the hotel as it didn't seem like a place I'd want to sit and eat. As soon as I picked up my luggage at the airport, I called the direct hotel line and requested their free shuttle - they arrived in under 5 minutes!. The hotel then put me on a list to take the shuttle to the cruise port the next morning. That trip cost $10 per person one way, and the driver allowed passengers to book a $20 round trip ticket which would at the end of the cruise, either take you back to the hotel or straight to the airport. I found it really easy and convenient, and far less expensive than the cruise ship transfer or an uber/taxi. Their shuttle service was really easy to find at the end of the cruise and took me directly to the airport. Breakfast at the hotel had the usual assortment of hot and cold selections, I would say above average for hotel breakfast. I would return here in the future!
GGuest UserReally handy for TPA having arrived from the UK. Rooms are a decent size, however the sofa bed was not made up when we went to our room. Disappointingly when we went down to reception to mention this we were told that we would have to make the bed up ourselves. Never in all of our travels have we ever been told such a rediculous thing. We we challenged this again, the reception staff finally relented and sent housekeeping to make up the bed.
AAnonymous UserThe first stop when arriving in this city is the hotel in the center of the airport. I watched the city's promotional video introducing this hotel. It is colorful and exciting. The airport is small and cute, the design is tasteful and beautiful. The hotel is directly connected to the airport, which is convenient. The lobby is simple. There are no tennis courts where we originally planned to play, the swimming pool is being repaired, and the water park is fenced off. The room has a sense of age. High-priced breakfast, not the buffet in the picture, super simple take-out breakfast. No water provided. Pictures and information are truly for reference only. The hotel's super high price is really too high.
FFineganThe hotel is a little confusing to get into as far as parking wise. Amenities are fair. The room was clean.
One drawback I can mention, is the hotel is located right on the train tracks. You can hear the train running all throughout the night. The train runs the horn so be prepared if you plan on staying here, to hear the train.
A second drawback was the thermostat in the room. Yes the thermostat. Why? The one in our room literally illuminated the entire room. It was as bright as a blue fire. I am sure like many of us adults like to sleep in the dark. No this literally was shining so bright you could read a book by the light. I would recommend to dim them for the customers prior to entering the room.
Oh we also had some noisemakers in our room next door. Had to call downstairs to let them know that it was time for rest.
This hotel is located in a party town. So assuming you like to party, it would be good for you.
CClarissaWe stopped and stayed here after a trip we were on was extended a day and we had an early flight to catch. Check in was quick and easy. The beds were comfortable and the location was great as it was minutes to the airport, which was great with a 6 am flight with 3 kids and 7 people total. Our only complaint was the laundromat services were only available until 9. We spent the day at the beach and just planned to wash and pack our beach things once we had come back from dinner. Once we got back from dinner the hotel laundromat was about to close. There was a coin mat about mins up the road , so it wasnt the hugest inconvenience, but it would have been nice to have the on site laundromat available 24 hours or even until midnight. We travel for sports a lot and this is the first time we have encountered this.
GGuest UserI realize that different people have different opinions to the same experiences. I found the room to be very clean and the breakfast to be good. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get into my room when I arrived. There were lots of people in the lobby who were waiting for rooms to be cleaned. All in all, I had a pleasant stay at the hotel.
DDr RobertMy review is intended as constructive feedback and should be taken that way.
Check-in was a bit of a hassle, but once we got over a speed bump, everything was fine. I won't go into what happened exactly, but please NOTE: they do NOT accept cash for the deposit or payment. You must have a credit card.. Make sure your card works... and they don't seem to accept Union Pay cards. There isn't any drinkable water in the room, but there is a convenience store two buildings away - super convenient.
The rooms are clean. But, everything is old. The furniture could be quickly restored with some varnish to the furniture, and rustic rugs tossed on the wooden floors. They should consider adding their own line of soaps and hair care products for an element of care and elegance. It'd be nice to have a couple of complimentary bottles of water, as well.
The free shuttle from the airport - go to blue baggage claim and go out one of the blue entry/exit points; either 1 or 2 - at the far ends of the baggage claim corridor. Look for a ”Veterans Limo” van. They come regularly. Just tell the driver where you're going.
Breakfast is great if you love carbs. Unfortunately, no proteins were served. I recommend just adding some scrambled or hard-boiled eggs or turkey bacon and cheeses. You should add more varieties of bagels and bread, as well - especially if you're going to stay carb-centric. Raisin bagels would've been nice.
Thanks for the waffles. Neat, but I would prefer an omlette station.
Overall, I will probably not stay here again, but only because there are so many other options to choose from.
Oh... No offense, but the front desk staff could use some training in customer service and customer care. A couple of them seem to be tired of guests and refer to guests as ”them” and ”they” with a tone of contempt. The staff seems to be falling into a horrible customer care death spiral of ”us” vs. ”them” and seeing ”them” as ”stupid.” Maybe have just a workshop to help staff reaffirm their commitment to the hospitality industry.
Competition won't go away, but customers will.
