East Tower Deluxe with Balcony and Pool View Room

This room faces the resort's pool area, so from your private balcony you look out on the lively outdoor scene at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. The resort has three outdoor pools, and the Pool Bar & Grill sits on the Pool Deck, so the view suits guests who like to be close to the action.

The room has one king bed with a pillowtop mattress and premium, hypo-allergenic bedding, and it sleeps up to 3 guests. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge. That makes it a comfortable fit for a couple, or for two adults travelling with a child.

Yes. The room comes with a private balcony overlooking the pool. It works well for a morning coffee made with the in-room coffee/tea maker, or for an evening wind-down after a day on the casino floor or at the pool.

The private bathroom has a shower, bathrobes, towels, designer toiletries, shampoo and a hair dryer. The room itself also has an iron and ironing board and a dryer, which helps on a longer stay.

A daily resort fee of $25 plus tax covers access to the resort pools, complimentary pool towels, sunblock and bottled water poolside, two bottles of water daily, fitness center access for two people and self-parking in designated garages. In the room you also get free WiFi, a 42-inch flat-screen TV with premium channels, a safe and a mini-fridge. Room service runs 24 hours.

The room offers children's dinnerware and a high chair, and connecting rooms can be requested if you need more space. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa is a casino resort, so the person checking in must be 21 or older. Children staying as hotel guests must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or legal guardian on the pool deck. The spa and fitness facility are not open to guests under 18.

Pool access runs 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily for registered hotel guests. Wear your wristband at all times, shower before entering the water, and leave glass and outside food and drinks behind. Chaise loungers cannot be reserved and are first-come, first-served. The pool stays open in rain but closes when lightning is detected within 7 miles. One of the pools is adults-only, alongside a wading pool and hot tub.

There are around a dozen dining options on site. They include Council Oak Steaks & Seafood, The Rez Grill, Cipresso, Hard Rock Cafe, Fresh Harvest Buffet, Rock 'N Raw sushi bar and the casual Rise Kitchen & Deli. The Pool Bar & Grill is right on the Pool Deck, with the grill open 11 AM to 8 PM. Reservations are strongly suggested at Council Oak, The Rez Grill and Cipresso.

Tampa International Airport is the closest airport, roughly a 15-minute drive away. The hotel does not run an airport shuttle, so plan on a taxi, rideshare or rental car. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is about 6 miles away, and Ybor City, Tampa's historic cigar district, is a few miles off. Self-parking is free for hotel guests, and valet is available for a fee.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Early check-in can be requested, and the Bell Staff will hold your bags if the room isn't ready. A photo ID and credit card are required, along with a refundable $100 per night room deposit. Let the hotel know in advance if you will arrive after 9 PM. The resort is not on the coast. Clearwater Beach is about 31 miles away, roughly a 42-44 minute drive, and there is no direct bus there.
