CHASE SUITE HOTEL ROCKY POINT TAMPA, Tampa

The property sits directly on Tampa Bay, providing a peaceful, residential setting with bay views and a waterside terrace. Tampa International Airport is roughly 10 minutes away by taxi or via the hotel's free shuttle (6:30am-9:30pm) - contact the hotel upon arrival for pickup. The area is car-dependent, but the free shuttle also runs to nearby restaurants, bars, and a market within 8 km. A walking/jogging path runs across the street, and Bahama Breeze restaurant is adjacent. Raymond James Stadium and Busch Gardens are a short drive away, and downtown Tampa is roughly 15 minutes by car. Free private parking is available on site with no reservation needed.

Rooms are configured as one-bedroom or two-bedroom suites (some with pull-out sofas), offering generous floor plans with a separate living room and dining area. Each suite includes a fully equipped kitchen with full-size refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, cookware, and coffee maker. Bed options include king or queen beds; two-bedroom suites have two full bathrooms. Rooms are carpeted, have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with shower/tub. Balconies are available in some King Studio suites but not all. The property is older and furnishings show wear, but rooms are generally spacious and quiet, with comfortable beds. Flooring and fixtures may appear dated; some rooms have musty odors or mold, particularly after hurricane water damage. For light sleepers, a quiet interior room or one away from the pool area is recommended.

Breakfast is included in the stay and served as a hot buffet with eggs, bacon or corned beef, oatmeal, cereal, pastries, coffee, and juice. The breakfast room can get busy, and hot items may run out toward closing (9:00am). An evening social hour (Monday-Thursday, typically 5:00-6:30pm) offers free beer, wine, soda, and light appetizers or snacks. The hotel has a vending machine for drinks and snacks. Although there is no on-site restaurant, Bahama Breeze (adjacent, on the waterfront) and Sea Breeze (nearby) offer full dinner menus. A convenience store is within walking distance. The free shuttle can also take you to local restaurants and bars within 8 km.

The outdoor swimming pool is heated and open all year, surrounded by sun loungers and seating areas overlooking the bay. The pool area is generally clean and quiet, though the pool itself is on the smaller side - better for a relaxing dip than lap swimming. There is also a basketball court on the property. The waterfront location provides a terrace and dock with seating, ideal for watching the sunrise or sunset. A walking/jogging path runs along the bay across the street. The on-site fitness room is not listed, but the property does not have a full spa or gym.

The property offers a free airport shuttle operating from 6:30am to 9:30pm - call the hotel upon arrival for pickup. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas and rooms. Free private parking is on site with no reservation needed, including accessible parking spaces. The 24-hour front desk can assist with early check-in, late check-out, and shuttle requests. Luggage storage is free of charge. A business center and meeting/banquet facilities are available (meeting rooms for an additional charge). Laundry facilities are on site. An ATM is available in the lobby. The property is wheelchair accessible and has non-smoking rooms, though a designated smoking area exists outside.
