39august Posted March 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Reviews on Trip Advisor are mostly very good, so thinking of booking. Does anyone have comments? Also, TA report says there is a "Fresh Market" behind hotel for sandwiches, etc. Perhaps some of you might know whether we could buy wine there as well, like Publix.

FlaGrl4Evr Posted March 31, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2013 That Fresh Market location is fairly new. I do not believe however, that they sell wine. There is a Publix grocery store within walking distance. Cross the street in front of the hotel, turn left and walk to the Bank of America. Go through thier parking lot and the Publix will be directly behind it. They sell wine as well as other grocery items. As far as the hotel, I have not stayed there but driven by several times. It is motel style but kept-up nicely. There is a Bone Fish Grill within walking distance. ( excellent choice) as well as a few other fast food and moderate priced restaurants. http://www.bonefishgrill.com/Locator/details/south-tampa-florida BTW: there is a wine shop directly across from the port of Tampa. It is Tampa Wine Design and is located in the Channelside shops. They open at 11am 7 days per week. I do not believe that they sell pop, only wine. :) .

39august Posted March 31, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks. Great info. Think we'll try it! So we could ask the taxi driver to the port to stop at the wine shop if we don't walk to Publix for wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just check your bags with the porters then cross the street to the Channelside shops. It's a 2 minute walk over. http://www.tampawinedesign.com/ :) .
