  Overall, Hampton Inn Tampa/Rocky Point Airport offers a solid, reliable stay that stands out most for its exceptional staff, convenient location, and strong value , especially for travelers flying in or out of Tampa or heading out on a cruise. The location is one of the hotel’s biggest advantages. It’s close to Tampa International Airport without feeling hectic or noisy, and the Rocky Point setting gives it a calmer, more relaxed vibe than hotels directly on airport property. There’s easy access to I 275, nearby restaurants (including a popular spot next door), and a waterfront walkway where guests can enjoy morning or evening strolls some guests even mention spotting dolphins, which is a nice bonus. Service is consistently the highlight here . Numerous staff members are frequently praised by name, and it’s easy to see why. Front desk associates like Tyler, Rafael, Marisol, Jake, Katie, and Ashley are repeatedly described as warm, welcoming, energetic, and genuinely helpful. Whether it’s assisting with directions, late-night check-ins, special requests, or resolving issues, the staff clearly makes a strong effort to ensure guests feel cared for. The breakfast team, especially Janice, also receives high praise for friendliness, attentiveness, and keeping the breakfast area well stocked and clean. The rooms are generally comfortable and clean , with good air conditioning, comfortable beds, solid water pressure, and a quiet atmosphere that makes for restful sleep. Many guests note feeling safe and relaxed during their stay. Housekeeping is often commended, though some experiences suggest inconsistency , with a few guests reporting cleanliness issues or rooms showing signs of age. The hotel is not brand new, and while updates have been made, certain elements such as bathroom door designs, carpet condition, or room layout quirks may feel dated to some guests. Breakfast is a strong point, meeting or slightly exceeding standard Hampton Inn expectations. Guests appreciate the variety, warm options, multiple juice selections, waffle makers, and extended hours. Complimentary coffee, water, and occasional lobby snacks are also a nice touch and add to the overall value. Where the hotel falls short of a perfect score is mainly in maintenance consistency and amenities . A handful of guests mention issues such as small room sizes, sliding bathroom doors that lack privacy, occasional maintenance problems, and a very small pool that may not meet expectations based on photos. The airport shuttle’s limited operating hours have also surprised some guests, especially those arriving late at night. Despite these drawbacks, the value for the price is strong, and for short stays, airport overnights, business trips, or pre-cruise lodging, this hotel delivers exactly what many travelers need: comfort, convenience, and friendly service. Final Verdict Hampton Inn Tampa/Rocky Point Airport may not be the most modern or luxurious option in the area, but the outstanding staff, dependable comfort, and excellent location make it a dependable choice. With a bit more consistency in room upkeep, this could easily be a 5-star stay. Rating Great service, strong value, and a convenient, peaceful location near the airport.

  Service is wonderful! We flew in from Utah and were promptly greeted with a smiling and helpful attendant, Marisol. Marisol was super helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here!
