Never stayed in a Crowne Plaza before but it exceeded expectations.
Very comfortable and well detailed rooms.
Most impressed with the service for dinner at the bar.
It was really busy but Misti behind the bar was in top form, covering all the bases.
Definitely a good place to stay.

Date of stay: November 2, 2012-1 night in Room #242

This was our second stay at this location, and this time was even better. (see prior review for more details) When I checked in, I asked if Melissa Golub was there. She came out from her office, and we shook hands. I thanked her for her personal email responses, and she thanked me for returning. The room had the exact same layout as our prior room #235 and was perfect with no issues. There was a note from the General Manager, Joe Ruiz, along with 2 bottles of water in the room. We showered and changed for the fancy party for which we were in town. We stopped by the bar and had our complimentary drinks that I receive because of my Platinum status. Doug, the friendly, graduate school shuttle driver, took us to our party and gave us a card in case we needed a ride back from his co-worker, but we received one from someone at the party so not necessary. Good luck, Doug, in your future accounting career! The bed was comfortable, and provided a great night’s sleep. Breakfast, included in my rate, was good the next morning. They made me 3 eggs over medium as they did the prior time. I had bacon and sausage sandwiches as well plus coffee. We checked out, and all was good. I had a prepaid rate so there were no additional charges. The lady at the desk thanked us and we said we would be back.

This was like the most super awesome place i have ever spent the night at. Every one was super awesome they would like shave your back if you wanted them too. Everyone at the front desk was amazing and had beautiful eyes. Even the bar and lounge they have there the "mojito" was really coool. I brought my portable dvd player down there and we watched disney movies all night. They even have a pool but FYI (I dont like to swim)! I wish there were more crowne plazas like this one.If you are looking for a Hotel that will give you a hug when you are crying this is your place.

We came to visit Tampa FL (bus & pleasure) and we were very careful which hotel to pick since we are spending at least eight days. Frankly we feel we have made an excellent choice by picking the west shore crown plaza. Extremely friendly staff, during booking Chris was very helpful and pleasant on the phone. Latasha and Jeff helped us in picking the right suite. The hotel is clean with great internet service, NO connectivity problem and good breakfast too. Our next trip to Tampa FL will certainly be at the west shore crown plaza.
