Hey everyone

welcome in advance to our city .  I highly recommend Westshore/Rocky Point. This is near the airport, lots of good business hotels, and is central to the bay area. You can also consider downtown St Petersburg, which is on the bay (great hotels and restaurants) or Clearwater/beaches (high season right now, the beach is great, lots of tourists, but hotel rates are premium in March). Hope this helps.

Lola are you providing here in Tampa during your visit? If so how about a link to your info for us who just might be in the marketplace??

Yes actually I am! Check out my website!

Thankyou so much!!! You helped me out a lot with your suggestions. I didn't want my first visit to tampa to be screwed up by me choosing the wrong area to stay  lol
