“Nice stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We stayed at the CP Tampa Westshore last december. We spent two nights at this hotel in our way to Orlando.
The hotel is clean, well appointed and well furbished.
The staff is polite.
We asked for a room in their "quiet floor" as I am really sensitive to noise, and we got one straight away.
The location is great, very close to the airport, and also to malls and stores.
You don't have to pay extra to get access to their wifi internet, and also to park your car, which I found very handy.
The parking lot was never crowded, and we always managed to park our car next to the entrance.
The only con I'd mention is that you don't have a fridge/microwave in the room.
We had some leftovers from dinner which we would like to store for lunch the next day, and although they kept it in the fridge for me, they wouldn't heat it. I had to rent a microwave just to heat a box of food.They charged me US$ 5, but still. It would be much appreciated if they've done it for free, as I was departing the next morning.
But all in all, it was a nice stay, and we would come back.

Room Tip: Ask for a room in their quiet floor if you are sensitive to noise. The floor is indeed very quiet.

“Hotel does not value loyalty to chain.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Service was mediocre, food (breakfast was very costly for what was being offered). there was no member lounge available. The actual room was rather small for what is usually offered by other Crowne Plaze Hotels. Furthermore they did not aknowledge frequent stayer status at the hotel chain.

“It's like home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

Whenever I'm in Tampa I stay at the Crowne Plaza on Kennedy. Joe the GM runs a great hotel and his staff is excellent. It's very convenient to everything and the staff is very friendly and make you feel at home and they handle any request quickly and efficiently. It's very clean and well appointed. The service is outstanding and I would recommend to any of friends or business associates.
Thank you Jorge for you great service!

“Nice hotel, friendly staff, would stay again!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

Several staff of my company stayed in this hotel for a conference Jan. 11-13. I was on the 4th floor. Hotel was clean and comfortable, staff was friendly and shuttle service was quick to/from the airport as well as local malls and restaurants. We had our conference in the business rooms and the staff were wonderful about keeping the area clean and picking up empty glasses/plates from the attendees tables. The food was good and the room setup worked well. The pool area was large and clean. We didn't have time to swim but the pool looked nice. We had a party at Mojitos with drink tickets and the service was pretty quick. I would recommend this hotel to businesses for a conference.

“Nice hotel in a good location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for one night in late December. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly, and our room was clean and comfortable. Because we flew to Tampa and had several delays along the way, we decided to eat a quick meal and have a drink at Mojitos before going to bed. The wings and hummus were both delicious! Breakfast in the morning was also quite good. We usually have good experiences with Crowne Plaza hotels, and this was no exception. We would stay here again!
