Please help need nice hotel in Tampa!

[Cricket1997]

Is there a nice hotel in Tampa that offers free shuttle to the cruise ports? We are going to need it Jan 1-2. Thanks Crystal

There are some hotels who provide shuttle service; Hilton dt, Radisson by the River, Probably Embassy Suites dt (you could always call the 1800 no. and ask them). Check Harbor Island, Tampa. It is very close to the port and I'm guessing that their hotels might.

Radisson Riverwalk did offer free shuttle to port last October. Not from airport. Have to take taxi

We stayed at the Radisson Bay Harbor which I got from Priceline. I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. There was a Bahama Breezes close by and it was packed. They told me when we checked in there was a shuttle to the pier but the next morning no one seemed to know and said I wasn't on the list even though the night prior they said no need. They told me that the shuttle was only for those that had transfers or booked air through carnival. We took a taxi and it was around $20 I believe. They did have the airport shuttle and it came immediately.

I would stay there again.

I'm so sorry you had problems. The Radisson by the River is the only Radisson that I know of who shuttles to the ship. Your right, Bahama Breeze is such a hot spot with the locals it is hard to get in there.

I booked with priceline for the first time. I will be staying at the Marriott in Tampa for $56.00 a night. I called the hotel they said they have a shuttle for a small fee per person or I can get a cab for about $20.00. I will be driving down to florida and I can keep my car on the hotel grounds.

We stayed at the Tampa Westshore (Airport), free shuttle from airport and $5/pp to the port... it was a great hotel and we were very pleased to get it for $50 on Priceline...

[Guest Time2gocruzn]

Goincruisin What hotel did you stay in ? Was it the Marriott.

Thanks

Hi Lynn, no it was the Hilton... it was very nice (especially for $50, breakfast cost us almost as much as the room! LOL!!). The shuttle driver was wonderful and actually took us to a great place that night, introduced us to the bartender and told us to call him when we were ready to leave... it made the trip that much better. I would definitely stay there again...

Thanks Goincruisin,
I won my first bid on priceline for the Marriott Westshore
for $56.00. It also looks like a nice place. (From what I saw on the web site)
