Doubletree hotel tampa westshore airport?

[Mcqueen Fans]

I was wondering in anyone from that area can tell me anything about this hotel. We got this hotel through priceline and I have read some negative reviews. We will be there just to sleep. Just wondering if it is in a nice safe area? Will there be nice places to eat close by? Thanks!!

It is a safe area. If you are just there to sleep, maybe eating at the hotel would work for you. If you have a rental car, that makes a real difference, of course.

The area is fine... just be smart (ie: not walking around by yourself at night). There are a TON of resaurants within a 5-10 mile radius, just depends what you want.

You have the whole slew of fast food places - just head over to Kennedy Blvd.

There is Maggiano's and PF Chang's at Westshore Plaza - Starbucks too (right near the Old Navy entrance for easy run in/out)
Then at International Plaza there is The Cheesecake Factory, Capital Grill ($$$), California Pizza Kitchen and Ocean Prime ($$$).
Plus both malls have a food court.

Misc places w/in 10 miles : Shula's (on Kennedy), LeeRoy Selmon's (Boy Scout Rd), Ruth's Chris Steak House $$$ (WestShore), Chipotle Mexican (WestShore Blvd), Kona Grill (Boy Scout Rd), Panera Bread (2 in the area), Gogos Greek (Kennedy), Flemmings $$$ (Boy Scout).

If you want FANTASTIC Cuban food that is cheap - La Teresita on Columbus (come out of WestShore turn right on Spruce/Boy Scout Rd - cross Dale Mabry - pass Himes - it's a coral colored bldg on the right). Ropa Veija, fried plátanos and the media noche (hot melted Cuban sandwich on egg bread) - OMG!

Also, Dale Mabry has all the chains - you can take Cypress to it and turn right.

Also, there are the places on the CCCauseway - come out of WestShore and take a left to SR60 - Bahama Breeze, Whiskey Joe's, Rusty Pelican, and Armani's $$$.

Thank you so much! It looks like we will have plenty of choices to eat dinner at! We are leaving Sunday on a cruise out of Tampa! Can't wait!

We stayed there a year ago and got put in an awful room. It is on the corner with a view of another building, the room was half the size of the other rooms, the carpet had a rip. My husband complained and we got a new room on the first floor by the pool. It was much better.
