ck93 Posted August 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We are flying in the night before our cruise. Since our flight is arriving to Tampa late in the evening I thought it would be nice to be able to walk off the plane, grab our bags and go straight to the room. Also, it would be one less transfer to have to worry about. We can get up in the morning and go straight to the port. Reviews looked good online but I'd rather hear from my CC friends! TIA!

alejules Posted August 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I stay at this hotel all the time. It’s great. Very convenient but also great service and clean, large rooms. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robpuffdaddy Posted August 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Great idea to stay there to save money on transfers. That money can be used toward the price of the room. It's a great hotel. We stayed there on our wedding night before we flew out the next morning on our honeymoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyShiva Posted August 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I echo the posters above. I stayed one night when I flew in late and it served as a good use of points. There's a Starbucks right outside to grab coffee if the lounge is closed (this location closes their concierge lounge on the weekends). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosoxfan5 Posted August 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Does this hotel have shuttle transfer to and from the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted August 21, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Mrs has business meetings (multi day) here routinely for a state 'organization' ..... they wouldn't keep going if it was 'bad' ... it is a group that like NICE places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted August 21, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Does this hotel have shuttle transfer to and from the port? The only hotels I have seen with both airport and port shuttles are a few offering cruise packages in the Rocky Point area - Chase Suites, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn, etc. Taxi from TPA and nearby hotels to the port will be about $27+ each way, or use Uber/Lyft for about $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck93 Posted August 22, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted August 22, 2018 We were thinking of using Super Shuttle. They quoted me round trip from airport to port for two people at $44. This is for a shared ride. Curious to if anyone has used them? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted August 22, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Super Shuttle is seldom a bargain as you see in this case .. and IME they are simply a van ... I'd take an UBER ... even an XL will cost less and be a nicer or at least as nice ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck93 Posted August 22, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Good point Capt! Thinking about it now, I would rather have a dedicated car for the two of us on our own time. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the wine tip! ;) You're welcome... If I remember, I'll try and pop back here to post pix...hard to do from my phone but maybe I'll do some from my laptop...

VideoTech Posted August 28, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I have stayed there on a business trip. Hotel is fine, very easy to access right off the trains from airside terminals, down a short hallway. If you check luggage you'll have to go downstairs to pick it up first, then go back upstairs to the main airport lobby and then a short walk to the hotel.
