Hyatt House Tampa Airport/Westshore

Close to airport, we had a late arrival so it was very convenient location with shuttle bus pickup. Complimentary breakfast and a nice pool area to hang out in before our Airbnb check in later in the day.

This very quickly became our favorite hotel during our visit to the area and we were genuinely amazed how above and beyond the staff was. In particular, Vickie helped us out when we were in a tight spot and could not have been friendlier. She went out on a limb to make sure that we had a wonderful stay after we had had a not-great experience elsewhere. The pool was awesome and we loved the indoor/outdoor bar next to it - shoutout to Matt, the bartender, who was super friendly and attentive. It was such a peaceful atmosphere with a cool Tampa mural as decor. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the kitchen in the suites was really well-equipped - enough to cook a substantial meal.

We only stayed one-night prior our flight out the next morning. The hotel is located within a 15-20 min walk of the airport car hire returns, so we were able to drop our cases off at the hotel, return the hire car and walk back to the hotel. There is transport from arrivals but we're not sure how that is arranged. We didn't use any of facilities in the hotel e.g. the pool, so can't comment. Breakfast was good with enough choices for most people. We were kindly upgraded to a Studio Room which had excellent facilities, including a microwave. The front desk team were also excellent and quickly organised our complimentary bus trip to departures the next day. One tip - there isn't much in the way of e.g. shops, in the area but there is a World of Beer nearby, if you don't want to eat in the hotel.

The location was easily accessible from the terminal, and parking was ample. The staff was very polite and friendly. The breakfast buffet was good—nothing over the top, but a nice selection.
