Clarion Pointe Tampa-Brandon Near Fairgrounds and Casino

Hotel is a good price for what you are staying in, which was about 120 a night at the time, vs the 300 other places wanted for similar or smaller rooms. Check-in was simple enough, although I didn't know about the extra "fee" I was charged when Booking.com said all fees were included. What exactly was the extra $8 for?? I'm already paying to stay there and didn't get anything extra. The little garden and spanish flair is obviously cute, there's a pool next to it if you want. The loft room is great for a little extra room and extra half bathroom if you don't mind stairs. Seemed clean, bed was comfortable and sleeps well, plenty of very hot water, which is important to me, and very cold A/C. Didn't have any problems parking any time. Plenty of shopping and food within 10-15 minutes, from McDonalds to Hard Rock Cafe, and many local places. Very big mall and some strip malls nearby as well. Starbucks in walking distance. Roads right around the hotel are not very busy even for 8 lanes, but venture just a little farther and get ready for a lot of traffic. We didn't spend much time there because the area has plenty to explore for many tastes, which for us included a horror themed bar and restaurant, and comic/toy and pop culture stores, as well as a concert at the arena about 15 minutes away.

My stay at the Clarion Pointe Tampa-Brandon was a mix of cozy charm and quiet reflection. Tucked into a peaceful, secluded area, the hotel offered a rare kind of calm — the kind that lets you exhale. The highlight for me? The balcony view. As the sun melted into the horizon, the sky burst into color, and I felt like I had front-row seats to a private Florida symphony. The comforter deserves a shoutout of its own — thick, plush, and cloud-soft, it made climbing into bed feel like slipping into a dream. I slept like I hadn’t in months. That said, not everything was perfect. The kitchen light didn’t work, which dimmed the convenience of the space. A small fix, but worth noting. Overall, Clarion Pointe gave me a serene getaway with moments of unexpected luxury. With just a bit of maintenance attention, this place could shine as brightly as its sunsets. 🌅✨

Honestly, I wasn't expecting too much, but it was clean, freshly renovated, and quote comfortable.... and I'm pretty picky. The room was spacious, a D the bathroom felt new (although housekeeping could do a better job resetting the room - there was a washcloth left in the shower, and the sink area needed to be wiped down again). The decor is quite sterile, and could use some color/ personality, and the bed side light bulbs need to be softer. The pool area while small, was clean and had charm! We would definitely stay there again!

The property is so cute. It’s tucked away from any major roads but still have quick access to all the near by places. The fountain area in the back was gorgeous! The staff was super friendly and nice. The room was incredible and it was a type of room I had never seen before.

The landscaping was very beautiful and it was very peaceful not a lot of people around. It was less than a mile away from the fairgrounds and 2 miles away from the casino was nice cause it was peaceful .
