Message: We will be attending a wedding in Tampa towards the end of January and first of February of 2005. Seven adults, one child. We need something convenient to Davis Island, Sacred Heart Church and Palma Cia Country Club.

How long is your expect stay?

We will arrive on January 26, 2005 and leave on January 30 or 31.

You won't find anything that will accommodate 7 adults and 1 child, in one suite or even a condo (which wouldn't rent by the day anyway). My husband runs a hotel in Tampa with a Presidential suite that sells for over a thousand a night and even that wouldn't hold your entire crew unless they lined up the rollaways too!

You can however get several rooms in the same hotel, of course, and downtown would be most convenient to the church and Davis Islands....Marriott Waterside, Wyndham Harbour Island, Hyatt Regency Tampa are the 3 largest downtown and could possibly offer you contiguous rooms as well. Palma Ceia isn't much of a drive from any of these and is in a residential area without any hotels near it that I can think of.

OliveOyl! Thanks for the info. I guess that size crowd would be a little difficult to accomadate. I think we will go the multi-room route with,perhaps, a suite thrown in for a gathering spot. Thanks again.

I don't know anything about this place but of the three B&Bs I found listed in Tampa, this one is convenient to the locations you list, and it looks very nice. Perhaps they might have something for you.
