This was our first visit at this hotel. We go to Tampa once a year to fly to Mississippi. We thought this hotel was so clean and well-maintained that it must be brand new! The front desk girls were very helpful and friendly. They allowed us to check in quite early and have a late check out. The room was standard Hampton Inn but it was clean and had the curved shower curtain I like. There's not much "views" as it is in an industrial area, but we were not staying there for the view. This location is in the county so you will not find nearby strip clubs like many of the Tampa city hotels have. It was next door to an Arby's with a 7-11 about 1 block away. Within a mile was a Lowe's, Target, Walgreens, steakhouse (can't remember the brand---Logan's maybe? not Steak/Ale, not Outback), and a large nice movie theater. There is no airport transportation, which would be my only comment. But we were using off-airport parking so we wouldn't have used airport transportation even if they offered it. Our room was quiet and all items in the room worked well. The pool area was clean with towels stocked nearby. We had the pool to ourselves for about 2 hours before we checked out---seems to be mostly a business traveler's hotel although it is in a location to easily get to attractions. The breakfast area was clean, but standard Hampton food---no extra items offered. There is a free-use computer and printer in the lobby which was great for printing boarding passes. The front desk has a mini-sales area with "I forgot this" travel items, snacks, sandwiches, and drinks. The machines are Pepsi machines. The breakfast area was quite large with good amounts of seating....more than we usually see in hotels.

Stayed here one night for a meeting at a nearby office park. Location is very convenient to the offices in Woodland Center Blvd and I like the Hampton Inn because you always know what to expect with regard to the rooms, food, service, etc. The view from my room wasn't that great but I was there for work...if you want a nice view, I recommend staying down near the water or on the beach. But if you need a comfortable, clean and friendly place to stay, this is a great option.

I stayed here while on a business trip and my regular hotel was at full occupancy. Check in was slow as the lone desk clerk was tied up on the phone trying to work a complicated reservation request. The room was nice and comfortable. High speed wireless internet worked well. Bed and sleeping was satisfactory. The highlight was the bigger than usual breakfast bar - multiple items. They even offer "take out bags". Nice touch. I was given a first floor room on the corner near one of the exterior doors. The day I was there Sams Club was holding a job fair in one of the hotel conference rooms, until 9pm the exterior door kept slamming shut as job seekers left the fair for their cars. I would stay here again if necessary. One problem - not the hotel's fault. It is located on Waters Ave, close to a major intersection with Anderson Rd. At peak travel times, this intersection becomes near gridlock and it makes it difficult to exit and enter the hotel.
