TAMPA, Fla.  (February 16, 2017) – Free self-parking returns to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa on Tuesday, Feb. 21, with free self-parking in all garages.

The change comes in response to guest concerns, re-opening of nearly 500 parking spaces on a surface parking lot, as well as the planned April opening of the new 700-space Orient Road Parking Garage, which boosts overall parking capacity at the complex to more than 5,000 spaces.

Recent construction at the complex caused a temporary loss of almost 1,000 parking spaces, which was one of the reasons for a charge for parking.

“Leaders of the Seminole Tribe of Florida are unanimous in their commitment to again offer free parking,” said Seminole Gaming CEO James Allen.  “We have closely monitored the comments of our guests and have changed course in response to their concerns, and because we will soon have more parking spaces to meet guest demand.  The Seminoles are responsible members of the community and they want to fix the situation.”

Allen also said parking security enhancements added in 2016 will remain in force, including more security officers and additional security equipment.

Valet parking, taxi and ride sharing services are also offered at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa.
