Top University Hotel Reviews

The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"Loved the location and the helpful staff. Rooms look dated but the bed and pillows were amazingly comfortable. Would stay there again because of the helpful staff and location."

Sailport Waterfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Our room had a wonderful view, we felt surrounded by the Bay. The 2 room suite had the minimal items we needed. It was a bit dated but clean, and the beds were very comfortable with great linens. The pool and restaurant were added bonuses. The food was great and prices were very reasonable. The front desk kept in communication with us. I would definitely recommend if you need a place between the beaches and downtown Tampa with great views."

Quality Inn Tampa Airport - Cruise Port

10/10 Excellent

"This room was great for my stay. It was a smooth check-in and check-out. Also it has a very big Publix supermarket at a small walk from the hotel. Staff was very nice and polite. Room was nice and clean. A/C was a bit loud but did the job. Bathroom was renovated with lots of towels. Only small thing I would've liked was a bottle of water. Thank you..will stay again for future trips."
