2009 Super Bowl in Tampa, FL - Hotels booking up fast!

It goes without saying: Hotels for the upcoming Super Bowl in Tampa, FL (Sunday, February 1st) are booking up fast -- and the hotels with availability are super expensive.

So, as always, we're here to help cut through the crap and help you find the right room at the right price.

First, head over to our Tampa hotels list and click the "enter your travel dates" link. Select your dates (note that some hotels will have minimum-stay requirements in place) and submit the form.

When the results appear -- don't panic. Yes, most places on the default listing are $200+ per night, but stay calm...

If you want to be as close to Raymond James as possible, select the stadium by name from the 'Sort by distance from' dropdown -- that'll re-sort the list, putting the closest places first. As of this post, the closest is 5.74 miles away, a Red Roof Inn near Busch Gardens for $198/night.

There are several hotels near Busch Gardens in that price range, so, if you plan on taking in the park during your visit, then these are your best bet.

However, if price is the biggest consideration, then sort the results by price -- that'll put the cheapest places first.

The Tarpon Inn, about 20 miles out, is only $87/night. This is, at the time of this writing, your best bet for the absolute cheapest room.

Everything else, though, is $150 or more, so be prepared for that now.

So, that about wraps it up for now. I'll do my best to keep an eye on any changes and post them here. If you have any questions, let me know, ok?

See you next time!
