Cambria Hotel Tampa-Brandon
Brandon's top-rated stay, restaurant and pool included
Sobre este hotel
At a 9.2 rating and five stars, this is the highest-rated property in the entire cluster, a noticeably more polished stay than the practical, budget-forward hotels closer to Busch Gardens. The on-site restaurant and bar, year-round outdoor pool and outdoor fireplace give the property a genuine evening atmosphere, and daily housekeeping keeps a longer stay comfortable without extra effort. Brandon sits a real drive from Busch Gardens, so this suits a family willing to trade some proximity for a noticeably better-finished stay in the evenings. A minimarket and fitness centre round out an unusually well-equipped stay for this price tier, and tea and coffee makers in every room add a small daily comfort many budget properties skip.

Nuestra opinión
For a family prioritising the quality of the stay itself over walking-distance park access, this is the strongest pick in the cluster by rating alone. The on-site restaurant and pool-side fireplace genuinely elevate the evenings compared with a standard interstate hotel near the park gates, worth the splurge on a special-occasion trip.
- ✓Book this property if evening atmosphere and finish quality matter more to your family than park proximity.
- ✓Eat at the on-site restaurant and bar at least once, a genuine step up from the cluster's more basic dining options.
- ✓Plan real drive time to Busch Gardens, since Brandon's distance is the honest trade-off for the higher rating.

Por qué encanta a los viajerosWe splurged on the Cambria for the last two nights of our trip after three nights closer to Busch Gardens, and the difference in finish was real, better rooms, a genuine restaurant, and a fireplace by the pool for evenings. Worth the extra drive time earlier in the trip, though we wouldn't recommend it as a base if proximity to the park is the priority.
