Crowne Plaza - East Tampa Florida (Princess Palm Ave)

Had a weekend points break stay here, was upgraded to suite which seemed to be on 4th floor.

Room was fine, big dining table, living room area but I was there by myself so didn't really use anything but the bed/bath. Two complimentary waters were provided each day.

During my stay there was a cheerleader competition as well as a young Muslim women's gathering, talk about two ends of the spectrum

Outdoor Pool area was over-packed and not fun on the day that the cheerleaders were there. The next day after they had left was terrific, nice & quiet.

Property offers free shuttle service to/from the Hard Rock Casino http://www.seminolehardrocktampa.com/ (about 10 minute drive) and is very close to the Florida State Fairgrounds and Ford Amphitheater.

There is nothing restaurant/shopping wise within walking distance (or even a couple miles) of the property, so I went into Ybor City a couple times and it was very easy to do, as the exit for Ybor City was just before the backup of traffic that always seems to occur on I-4

Property is just a mile south of the intersection of I-4 & I-75.
