Bio: Platinum with Marriott, Holiday Inn. Diamond with Hilton. Gold with Starwood. Average 150 nights a year. Worst year: 332 nights. The Holiday Inn Express is conveniently located off of I-75 in Brandon - which is about 10mi East of downtown, and about 25 mins. (depending on traffic) from the airport. It appears to be a newer property, and makes... more

We had only one night in Tampa. Staying at this hotel, about 10 miles East of the city, proved ideal. It's an easy drive in and out and the hotel's facilites suited us fine - heated pool, business centre, hot breakfast and, considering the proximity to the I-75, not too much traffic noise. Another plus - it's on a retail... more

I usually don't give 5 star reviews to a 3 or 4 star hotel, but I'm giving this hotel 5 stars because I can't think of one complaint. I paid $129 each night plus tax. The hotel is clean, the rooms are spotless, nice TV in room, comfortable king size bed, quiet, etc. There is a nice, clean, small swimming... more

Great Value, they have a Busch Gardens Package which includes a 7 day pass to the park for 2 adults. The hotels is freshly renovated and has all the comforts of home. They also had a manager reception in the evening during the week. more

The hotel was a little dated and the breakfast was very disappointing. Some small bagels, mini muffins and toast were about the extent of it. Our friends stayed at the Homewood Suites, right down the street, which was the same price and much nicer. They also had an impressive hot breakfast bar. I would definitely recommend booking there. Their rooms... more

Recently stayed at this hotel for two nights with three other people. The first night was after a long day at SeaWorld in Orlando and so we arrived quite late at night. Check in was a breeze and after we were settled I wanted to check out the pool area and was told that it was closed by the clerk... more

Check-in was easy and all of the staff we encountered were friendly. The room was nice. I have no complaints about this place. The hotel is near a huge shopping mall, so everything is available within walking distance (maybe 5-10 minutes). Unfortunately, Brandon is growing very quickly and with this being school vacation week, the dinner waits were very long.... more

We traveled from Orlando to stay a night in Brandon to visit nearby relatives. We liked everything about our stay here. The staff was friendly and attentive. We requested a quiet room on- line and was assigned a room right in the middle of the hotel on a non-smoking floor which was very quiet. The room was also spotless clean... more

The Holiday Inn Express in Brandon is quite adequate. Nothing terribly fancy but there are some good points. The staff was friendly and accomodating. The breakfast bar, though nothing spectacular, was fine. (although they really need to invest in some new toasters.) Coffee was availabe all day and what I liked the best was the fresh baked cookies every afternoon.... more
