Downtown Tampa is abuzz during weekdays, but the city pretty much rolls up its sidewalks at night and on weekends. Still, if business interests demand you bunk downtown, consider the Courtyard by Marriott. The hotel offers 141 rooms and five suites, and has been afforded a three-diamond rating by AAA. Guests enjoy an on-site restaurant serving breakfast and dinner; a cocktail lounge; valet laundry services; and complimentary in-room coffee. Data ports and fax-and-copying services are also all available. The health conscious will appreciate the hotels outdoor pool, exercise room, and whirlpool. The Tampa Convention Center sits within walking distance, as do the Tampa Museum of Art and Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Verify estimated room rates of $69 to $139 before booking. Marriot has several other locations in the Tampa Bay area. -- Laura Spinale
