Hotel Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Ybor Historic District (Tampa, USA)

If you want to be near Ybor, then this is the ideal hotel for your trip. The many shops and restaurants of the area are within easy walking distance, and you'll rarely have to get the hotel shuttle to take you anywhere.

There aren't that many hotels in such a popular area that can offer on-site parking at a reasonable rate but this hotel does just that. It's very convenient, and you don't have to pay over the odds for a valet service.

The rooms at the hotel are equipped with everything that you could need for an enjoyable stay. There's a microwave and even a fridge in the room that are a great help for late night snacks. The hotel amenities are also well looked after with the pool and gym coming in for high praise.

From the front desk staff to the waiting staff there is a certain feeling of aloofness at this hotel. It seems that the staff couldn't really be bothered. They are not the politest bunch, and you may find that asking for any help leaves you feeling frustrated.

The breakfast isn't too bad but the long wait to get your cooked to order items can be annoying. Most people are quite hungry in the morning and to have to wait while others are eating is a little too much to bear.

The walls are said to be paper thin in this hotel. In fact, some guests have complained of being awoken by guests in other rooms that were simply talking in the middle of the night. Not a great way to spend a trip to Tampa.
