How to get a cheap hotel in Tampa
- Compare the same room on more than one site. Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com and Agoda often show different prices for the same hotel in Tampa.
- Stay Sunday to Thursday if you can. In most cities weekend nights cost more, while business hotels drop their prices on weekends.
- Pick a free cancellation rate, then check again a week or two before your trip. If the price drops, book again and cancel the first one.
- Look one neighborhood out. Hotels a short train or bus ride from the center of Tampa are usually cheaper than those next to the main sights.
- Check the total with taxes and fees. Resort fees, city taxes and parking can add a lot, so compare final prices, not nightly rates.
