HAMPTON INN TAMPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT/WESTSHORE, Tampa

The hotel is situated in the Westshore business district, offering easy access to major highways. It is a 5-minute drive from Tampa International Airport (free shuttle provided) and close to Raymond James Stadium (about 10 minutes by car). The Florida Aquarium is 10 km away, and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is 18 km away. International Plaza and Westshore Plaza malls are nearby, with many restaurants such as Olive Garden, Pei Wei Asian Diner, and Tampa Bistro Blue within a 0.5 km walk. The area is convenient for business travellers and concert-goers, with a Starbucks across the parking lot. The shuttle also serves destinations within a 5 km radius, making it easy to reach local attractions.

Guest rooms offer a flat-screen TV, desk, and en suite bathroom with either a shower or bathtub. Accessible rooms feature a roll-in shower or accessible bathtub. The property is undergoing renovations, so room conditions vary: some are recently updated and spacious, while others show signs of age with stained carpets or musty odours. Air conditioning units can be noisy. Bathroom sliding doors may not close fully, reducing privacy. Some rooms lack a work desk or have limited workspace. For a more comfortable stay, request a room on a higher floor away from construction. A few deluxe rooms include a microwave and fridge, but these are not standard.

The breakfast includes scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, potatoes, waffles, yogurt, fruit, pastries, and cereals. Coffee, tea, and fruit are available 24 hours in the lobby. While the breakfast is generally well-stocked, some guests find it basic. The hotel has no on-site restaurant, but there are many dining options within a short walk, including Olive Garden, Pei Wei Asian Diner, and a Starbucks. The shuttle can also take you to restaurants within a 5 km radius. For those who prefer a heartier meal, nearby steakhouses and Mexican restaurants are accessible.

The outdoor swimming pool is open all year and is a clean, relaxing spot. However, it may be closed during renovation periods. The fitness centre is small but equipped with basic cardio and strength machines. There is no spa or wellness centre on site. The pool area is nice for a swim after a flight, but during construction access may be limited.

The hotel offers free Wi-Fi in all areas and free on-site parking (no reservation needed, but spaces are limited during events). Long-term parking is available for $10/day. The free airport shuttle runs on demand from the airport and every half hour from the hotel; it also serves destinations within a 5 km radius. Other services include a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, dry cleaning, express check-in/check-out, and a business centre with fax/photocopying and meeting/banquet facilities. The property is wheelchair accessible with accessible parking and an elevator. Pets are allowed with charges. Safety features include a safety deposit box and 24-hour security. Note that due to ongoing renovations, some facilities may be temporarily unavailable.
