Hampton Inn Tampa-Rocky Point

Steve’s take

If your road trip ends at a cruise from Port Tampa Bay, the Hampton Inn on Rocky Point is your pre-cruise staging hotel. Waterfront, pool, fifteen minutes from the cruise terminal. Check in, swim, eat at one of the bayside restaurants, sleep, and roll up to the port fresh and rested in the morning. Trying to drive and board on the same day is how road trip energy turns into cruise-day chaos. Stay the night. Start the cruise right.
