“This place is busy BUSY but we were able to find free parking. Theres also covered parking in the garage. There is smoking in the building but as a non smoker it didnt bother me near as much as I anticipated. We did not stay. We played and ate. The fresh market buffet was delicious & had so many options.”
“Although the rooms are above average in cost, the quality is also above average. I stay here every time I hit a jackpot and I hate checking out. The beds are by far the most comfortable in town. It’s always squeaky clean and I am obsessed with the toiletries. Avoid room service if you can, although it arrives fast, is piping hot every time it’s outrageously over priced with added fees and gratuities. I ordered breakfast for one which was biscuits and gravy a side of sausage and a OJ. I literally choked signing the bill which was 48.00!!! Had I walked my lazy but down stairs and purchased it at the Rise cafe it would have cost only 25.00. I prefer the east tower it’s much nicer, bigger rooms. If you can afford to splurge then go for a suite with the jacuzzi or a suite with the full bar. Both are out of this world amazing, add a pool view and you will never want to leave”
“A Premier Destination for Group Entertainment When coordinating a night out with friends, finding a venue that successfully balances high-energy engagement with structural sophistication is essential. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa achieves this effortlessly. The operational scale of the facility is undeniably impressive, encompassing a massive 245,000-square-foot gaming floor alongside an array of premium dining and lounge options. The spatial design allows groups to navigate the diverse offerings with ease, mitigating any logistical friction. Whether engaging with the dynamic atmosphere of the casino or retreating to one of the multiple well-appointed bars located throughout the property, the venue maintains a consistently vibrant energy. It is an exceptionally well-managed establishment that delivers a top-tier social experience. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a polished and genuinely fun evening out.”
“Just went for a quick trip since we live locally. The atmosphere was clean and busy. The service was quick with drinks and food. The various games had good payouts! Can't say we left with money, but we were able to play much longer than anticipated which made for a fun evening!”
