We booked Hyatt Place Tampa Airport/Westshore through stay123. It was a pre cruise package deal which included the room for the night, breakfast, shuttle to and back from the cruise port and you could leave your car in their well-lite parking lot - all for a $23 deposit then $109 plus TX. Room was very spacious and super quiet. We used the outdoor pool as it was sunny and about 82. Beautiful lobby with art glass displays, a computer area and lots of seating. Their only fault was the breakfast was a bit limited, no proteins: no eggs, no no sausage. It was mostly carbs - cereals, toast, etc. They did however, have low sugar yogurt which was appreciated. When we do another cruise out of Tampa, we would definitely stay here again!
Embarkation:
Took hotel shuttle at 10:30, arrived at pier at 10:45. Filled in a form, stood in line and had our cruise cards by 11:15. Our boarding number was called at 11:45, lunch at the grill by noon. Rooms opened at 1:00 and our checked luggage was in the hall at 3:00. Very smooth!
Room had plenty of storage. Shower doors, no shower curtain. Narrow area next to the bed, but we would just crawl to the end. Loved the towel animals.
