The request to send
hotelhaggle is an RFP marketplace for group bookings. Submission is free, no commission is added to the rate, and hotels answer in 24 to 72 hours.
Its seller-of-travel page, last updated Oct. 21, 2026, states the company cannot process hotel booking requests from residents of or for travel to Florida, Hawaii, Iowa and Washington. A Tampa request therefore goes to the properties directly.
Ask for four lines in writing: the nightly rate, the parking charge, the amenity fee and the cancellation window. Send them to both Water Street properties at 0.2 miles, to the Sky Bridge property and to The Westin at 0.3 miles.
Five numbers for the file
Twenty-seven entries. Twenty-six distance readings. Seven properties at half a mile or less. Two nights from the published window. A parking band of $5.00 to $50.00.
