DunkelBierJay Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I intended to stay around the Waterfront or Ybor City the night before my February cruise, but rates are a minimum of $400 including taxes everywhere I looked except for a VRBO place near the port that weekend. There is some sort of international volleyball tournament in town that weekend. I am currently booked at the Airport Marriott, but don't really want to stay there because...it's...at the airport...if we were getting in at night, I would be all about it, because it is incredibly convenient. So, I am looking for ideas elsewhere without going to St Pete or Clearwater. Does anyone have any ideas for a hotel outside of the Waterfront/Ybor area I could consider?

Myisland Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 In January 2020 (I think, it could have been 2019) we stayed at the Sailport Waterfront Suites on N. Rocky Point Drive. The rates were good and the rooms nice (not luxurious, but comfortable). We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. I believe they even have a Snooze & Cruise package. The snack bar/grill had great Cuban sandwiches. The sunset was magnificent and they even had a fire pit. DunkelBierJay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 When we sailed out of Tampa, we stayed at the "Hampton Inn Tampa-Veterans Expwy (Airport North)" the night before. Very clean, comfortable, & affordable. (About 4 miles north of the airport) Big selling point for me was that they provided shuttle service from the airport to the hotel AND complementary shuttle service to the cruise port. Just had to make arrangements with the desk clerk on arrival. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to hear it's still a great place to go. Myisland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJnKy Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 We stayed near st. Pete Clearwater airport as that was the airport we flew in to.. Rates in that area are lower than near TPA. Uber was 45 to and 22 returning. Can't recommend LaQuinta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
