: Visiting Tampa for my 1rst time and need help knowing where to get a room : Discussion in Florida, posted by Lola

welcome in advance to our city . I highly recommend Westshore/Rocky Point. This is near the airport, lots of good business hotels, and is central to the bay area. You can also consider downtown St Petersburg, which is on the bay (great hotels and restaurants) or Clearwater/beaches (high season right now, the beach is great, lots of tourists, but hotel rates are premium in March). Hope this helps.

I would avoid downtown Tampa, casino/fairgrounds, and USF. The hotel rates can look attractive, but it is not worth the discount.
