Tampa Hotel w/ Airport and/or Port transfers

[craigandjessica]

My husband and I are going on a cruise for our 10th wedding anniversary later this year. We are contiplating flying in to Tampa a day or 2 early (flights cost is the same for either day) just to extend the trip a little longer. We would like to keep most of our money for our cruise, so we are looking for a cheaper hotel option for the 1 or 2 nights pre-cruise. We are not looking for anything spectacular just somewhere where we can wonder about and relax. We do not want to rent a car and do not want to spend a overabundance in cab fees to go places. Anybody know of a reasonably priced (under $100 a night ) hotel that offers airport and/or port transfer and has a grocery and liquor store w/in waling distance or has a shuttle service to them.

Try the Embassy suites tampa airport/westshore. Usually not too overpriced and you get free breakfast. They also have a shuttle to the pier option, although a cab would probably be 20 bucks or less. Bill&Ann
