We'll be flying in late to Tampa from NYC and we need a place to stay near the airport. We'll be driving up to Orlando the next day. any suggestions? Some place nice but reasonable. Thanks!!
We stayed at the Doubletree in early December for a cheerleading competition and it was nice. Our room rate was reasonable, but might be because of a group rate. It was about 5 - 10 minutes from the airport and there was a Bahama Breeze restaurant about 2 blocks away. The hotel was on the water and had a pool. The rooms were suites and they were clean.
Good luck.
We loved the Doubletree. There is a Holiday Inn Express right across the street from it that is nice too. Both of them are only about 8 min from the airport. It's a very easy drive.
