HYATT PLACE TAMPA DOWNTOWN, Tampa

Tampa International Airport is 7 km away (about a 15-minute drive). The free historic streetcar stop is 2 blocks away and connects to Ybor City, the Florida Aquarium (20-minute walk), and the cruise terminals. The cruise port is a 4-minute drive. Raymond James Stadium is approximately 16 km away, and Tropicana Field is 37 km via I-275 S. Downtown has many restaurants within a 0.5 km walk, including options like Toscanini's and Taco Bus. Getting out to I-4 is straightforward. For getting around without a car, Uber/Lyft are the most practical options as the hotel does not offer airport or cruise port shuttle service.

Rooms are spacious and modern, featuring a flat-screen TV with streaming services (including Chromecast) and plenty of charging ports. Some rooms include a 'cozy corner' with a sofa. Family rooms are available with 3 beds, and several wheelchair-accessible rooms feature a roll-in shower and grab rails. The beds are generally comfortable, though some mattresses can be firm or very soft depending on the room. The rooms have blackout curtains that block light effectively. Some rooms have motion-sensor lighting that may turn off if you sit still for 10-15 minutes; a standing lamp can be requested as a workaround. Soundproofing between rooms is minimal, so noise from adjacent rooms can be audible. Higher floors reduce street noise, but some street noise is still noticeable. Road-facing rooms are less suitable for light sleepers.

Breakfast includes warm dishes like eggs, pancakes, waffles, French toast, and fresh fruit. The selection can be abundant but may run out of certain items as the breakfast service progresses, so arriving early ensures the full choice. At lunch and dinner, Corazon offers a small menu - items vary, and the banana bread pudding is a well-known highlight. The bar serves cocktails, beer, and wine, and there is also a Starbucks coffee shop on-site. Snacks and overpriced packaged items are available. For dinner, walkable restaurants within 0.5 km offer more variety, especially for those wanting a greater meal selection.

The outdoor infinity pool is open year-round from 08:00 to 22:00 and is heated. It sits on a rooftop terrace with sun loungers, umbrellas, and a poolside lounge area. The fitness centre on the 4th floor is open 24 hours and has adequate equipment. A self-serve laundry room (using quarters) is also available on the 4th floor. There is no live music on-site, but Ybor City and local clubs are a short walk or Uber ride away for evening entertainment.

Wi-Fi is free. The business centre and meeting facilities are available (some for an additional charge). Valet parking is the only on-site parking option at US$45/day. Pets are allowed with a US$75 fee. The hotel has key-card access on the elevator, 24-hour security, a safety deposit box, and CCTV. Daily housekeeping is provided, and laundry/dry cleaning is available for a fee. Luggage storage is offered before check-in or after check-out. Walking around the immediate downtown area is generally safe even at night.
