Overview & Suitability
The Godfrey Hotel parking facility, located at 7700 W Courtney Campbell Cswy, offers a convenient and accessible surface parking solution for travelers and visitors in the Rocky Point area of Tampa. While the site previously functioned as a long-term airport parking provider, the property has undergone significant redevelopment planning. Currently, the lot provides self-parking options suitable for standard passenger vehicles. Please note that as of recent reports, the hotel property has ceased operations, and visitors should verify current access status before arrival.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
The parking area is situated directly in front of the primary entrance to the former hotel grounds. It is an open-air surface lot characterized by spacious aisles and palm-tree-lined spots, offering easy navigation for standard passenger cars and SUVs. There are no height restrictions typical of covered garages, though travelers should be aware of standard surface-lot traffic patterns.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
Parking rates are variable depending on whether you are an overnight hotel guest or utilizing the lot for off-site airport parking. For hotel guests, parking may be included in daily resort fees, while external users may find daily rates often starting as low as $4 to $6, depending on the booking platform used. It is highly recommended to pre-book through third-party parking reservation services to secure a guaranteed space and the best possible rate.
Security & Amenities
Historically, the parking area has been recognized for its proximity to the hotel entrance and basic security presence, including site lighting and general surveillance. While standard amenities such as accessible parking spaces are available, please note that complimentary airport shuttle services previously offered by the hotel may no longer be operational. Users should plan to utilize ride-sharing services for transfers to the airport.
Strategic Alternative
This location serves as a strategic, cost-effective alternative to expensive on-site terminal parking at Tampa International Airport (TPA). Its location on the Courtney Campbell Causeway provides a direct, low-traffic route to the airport terminals, typically reachable in under 10 minutes. It also serves as a convenient staging point for those visiting the nearby Ben T. Davis Beach or accessing the Courtney Campbell Causeway recreational trail.
