Quality Inn & Suites Tampa near Fairgrounds and Casino
Heated pool under nine kilometres from Busch Gardens
About this hotel
The outdoor heated pool here is one of only three in the cluster, and it pairs with a picnic area and on-site exercise room for a well-rounded stay. Handicap-accessible and connecting rooms can be requested, a practical detail for larger families or multigenerational groups travelling together. Being under nine kilometres from Amalie Arena, the Tampa Convention Center and Busch Gardens theme park itself, this hotel sits close enough for an easy park day while staying near Seminole Hard Rock Casino for an evening out. Free coffee in the lobby and free WiFi round out a practical, well-priced stay, and public computer and copying services are available for a parent who needs to print something before a flight home.
- Heated outdoor pool
- Close to Busch Gardens
- Connecting rooms available
Our take
The heated pool combined with genuine proximity to Busch Gardens makes this a strong practical pick, and the connecting-room option is a real plus for bigger families. A reliable, well-located choice in this cluster for a multi-day park trip without a premium park-side rate attached to it at all this year.
- ✓Request connecting rooms early if travelling as a larger family or multigenerational group.
- ✓Use the heated pool as your fallback plan on any day the water park itself is closed.
- ✓Combine a park day with a Seminole Hard Rock Casino evening, just seven minutes away.

Why guests love itI would pick the Quality Inn & Suites Tampa near Fairgrounds and Casino for a multigenerational group that wants a heated pool at a modest rating of 7.4 out of 10. The hotel is 4.2 kilometres from Ybor City, with an outdoor heated pool, free WiFi, an exercise room and connecting rooms. Seminole Hard Rock Casino is seven minutes by car, and Busch Gardens is under nine kilometres away. I would choose it for practicality, not polish.
