Tampa hotel with shuttles to/from airport & port

[DTC]

Looking for a reasonable hotel that offers free shuttle from airport to hotel,

to port and back to airport after cruise. Also would like to go to Channelside to visit aquarium. I'm finding shuttles but not for everything I need.

Tahitian will not return us to the airport unless we stay another night. And they won't take us to Channelside. Bummer!! I was thinking that was going to win, but guess not.

 

Any suggestions would be great!!

 

Last year we stayed at the Courtyard Inn. Had to pay taxi to get to hotel and to get back to airport. Hotel was good and wouldn't hesitate to book there again, just wondering if there was something else out there.

 

Thanks

did you try the Holiday Inn Express at Rocky Point? May book that one if we book our cruise. They have a cruise package available, so check out the website...

Thanks for the post about Holiday Inn Express having a cruise package. I hope to book them for Jul 2012.

I did. They won't take us to Channelside. I'm not sure what the taxi cost would be to get there and back but I'm thinking more than $50/rt.

 

Thanks for the info. Think I'll just keep trying to get the Courtyard on Priceline. Last December I paid $60/nt. Hoping to get it for that again, closer to sail date.
