Stayed at this hotel based on reviews. The reviews are right. Terrific service. Helpful and cheerful staff. Free ice cream every night. We were offered bottled water when we checked in. The rooms are what you'd expect from a Holiday Inn. So don't go in expecting a 4 star hotel. Having said that, the property and rooms are maintained extremely... more

Based on the more than raving reviews here, I chose this hotel for an overnight stay on our road trip. And the expectations were even surpassed. From the complimentary beer (and another one!) at the checkin, free ice cream for the kids, a perfectly temperated and clean pool to the very friendly and competent front desk, the hotel can match... more

My family including my 80 yr. old father had a wonderful time at Holiday Express New Tampa. We bought the package for Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. We booked the two bedroom suite. Everyone in our party of six had plenty of room to relax and have privacy. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen area was very helpful, separate... more

For the price, which was $100/night, the place was absolutely incredible. The service was impeccable - a welcoming drink when you come in, ice cream in the evening and a full breakfast in the morning. The room was huge and our king-size bed was the most comfortable both of us had ever slept in. Even the pillows were super comfy,... more

Our family has stayed in a lot of hotels and this was the best family value by far. Extremely clean. Staff was exceptionally nice. Very nice free breakfast, free ice cream at night, free drink at check-in. Kid friendly. Really a tremendous value. more

My family and I stayed here from 7/13 to 7/17. It was wonderful! It is about 15 mins. from Busch Gardens. While it is located in a quiet area, it is close to many places to eat. The rooms and pool were very clean. The landscaping at the pool was lush and had a tropical feel to it. Each night... more

To start, our check-in guy was fabulous. When he found out we were celebrating a birthday, he pulled out all the stops: an upgrade to a studio suite, coupons for the movie theater next door, and her favorite restaurant. Thanks, Richie, you rock! This HI is top-rated in Fla. and highly-rated on tripadvisor for many good reasons, so let me... more

Stayed two nights during a Florida trip and was VERY pleased with the room and overall hotel. Cleanliness is my priority when staying somewhere and I was extremely happy with that aspect of this hotel. It was also very updated/new and provided some extra perks, such as the morning breakfast (very fresh), morning paper, nice pool area for just relaxing... more
