Holiday Inn Express Tampa-Brandon

First room 444 was clean but the toilet was nasty with built up black gunk under the rim (maintenance says it might be build up of years of it not being cleaned properly and was told it is in most of the toilets). Rachel at front desk was nice to accommodate us in moving rooms. We moved to 322 which was a upgrade to a King suite we absolutely loved it and it was clean but we did experience sneezing the entire time in that room and it went away after we left out for dinner and came back as we slept and went away after checkout and still gone which makes me think that there was something sprayed or the vents need to be cleaned. Didn't bother to tell front desk as I didn't want to seem like I'm complaining once again. The breakfast ok but didn't offer any pork free options our entire stay when we were told they would have some next day. Besides my concerns we would def book again and ask for the rooms where we know the toilet doesn't have that black filth. Walmart, stores, interstate and restaurants close by.

Simply stated, Rachel and Jeannine both extended themselves above and beyond what I had expected. They are superb representatives of the organization in a profession that is often thankless. I also want to acknowledge the breakfast staff, who not only kept the food replenished, but also maintained a very clean area, no small task to say tbe least.

Quiet location. The room was spacious.
