  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Tampa on Hotels.com, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections for potential discounts on hotels as your travel date approaches. You may also consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don’t miss any savings opportunities. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make well-informed choices. If prices drop or new rooms become available, you’re more likely to be notified first, enabling a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Tampa hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised atmosphere and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we will suggest alternative dates that might be more affordable, increasing the likelihood that you could save.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre typically tend to be more expensive, but with Tampa’s excellent public transport connections, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected.
