Very nice! A clean, comfortable hotel, consistent with Holiday Inn Express as we have found.

Floors / rugs in room were filthy dirty! Bathroom tub was dirty & gross looking. Road noise from the street was unbearable, lacks sound proofing. Way below the usual standards of Holiday Express. Building is old and a poor job of updating it is evident. The check in staff were friendly and accommodating, breakfast was good, coffe was good too. We will not be staying here again.

So noisy! Light sleepers will struggle with street noise, "paper thin" walls, echoing hallways, elevator sounds, etc. On the positive side, the rooms are nicely appointed. Super friendly staff! In-room amenities included a fridge and microwave. Decent WiFi connectivity. Hot breakfast included. Free parking. My room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, with everything available and working, as expected. This hotel is located on the busy US-301 highway, directly across the street from the Tampa Fairgrounds (the reason for my visit). A couple of restaurants nearby, but many just 10-15 min away in Brandon. ****** 5 min away. Pro tip: leave the in-room AC/fan running on low during the night, to help drown out noise from traffic and other guests.

Very Nice Stay Very nice stay. Excellent staff. Room was clean and tidy. Honored our request for a room close to the elevator for my 85 year old mom. Breakfast was delicious! We would stay again!

I give it an overall grade of B. No A it's an older Holiday Inn. It's been taken care of but it has issues. The treadmill was broken. T v's gym didn't work. It had a weird smell in some areas. Like they were burning incense to cover up for the smell of marijuana.That's apparently everywhere these days. It was a convenient location.I can say that. A little loud with traffic in the morning. The staff was very nice, and it was clean.
