Top Florida Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Tampa Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great hotel for a 1-night transit. But no amenities and tea bags, stir sticks were missing. Also the lack of light everywhere, including the coffee station was a major issue. I burned my arm on the steam from our requested kettle as I couldn’t see anything!"
