    Newer Hotel

    The hotel seemed relatively new. The agent at check in was a bit confused about the reservation but eventually figured it out, Our room was on the top floor and was quiet. The bed was comfortable yet the shower had a shelf on it that caught the water and poured it onto the floor even with the shower curtain closed and a washcloth on the tub. We had to wipe up the floor after our showers. The room had a sitting area, a desk, an ironing board and iron, and a coffee maker but no robe or safe. Parking was available close to the door.Breakfast was served from 7-10 but we did not partake.

    Definitely a good experience

    This hotel is very nice. We checked in late and the clerk was very attentive! It's great that Bahama Breeze is right across the parking lot. Good location too! It was convenient to the Airport also. We definitely will stay here again if we are in the area.

    Great hotel for spring training viewing

    We just spent 5 days staying at the Holiday Inn Express. Purpose of the trip was watching spring training. Hotel staff was outstanding and location was perfect. Do not miss the morning breakfast. Phillys and Yankees stadium about 15 minutes from the hotel.

    Amazing stay with outstanding service.

    We stayed in Tampa for 5 nights. Was supposed to be 6 but our first flight was delayed. We were greeted by Holly and Joe who treated us like family. The room was clean and big. They have dove products in the bathroom. The pool area was so nice with a nice view of the bridge. We walked the Courtney Causeway which went through a beach. We were walking steps to Bahama Breeze restaurant - amazing food. We used the fitness centre which was clean and had four different options and a water cooler. Free continental Breakfast was amazing. Back to service - EVERY single person in every area of work was amazing but I really want to say they Holly and Joe are assets to your organization and truly represent and boost the Holiday Inn brand.

    Annual trip to Tampa the first weekend in February.

    I was at the Tampa International Airport and called for a shuttle that never came. I needed up paying a taxi to take me to the Hotel. The Hotel room was very dirty. They were extremely under staffed. The bathroom tub did not drain because it had so much hair stuck in it. My sister and I were extremely unhappy.
