This hotel is not bad but they are in full construction mode; the lobby is closed; the halls are a mess and while they are in the process of such a big job, they should have closed. I would simply select another option while this remodeling is being done.

Dear TW, I am so sorry to hear that our remodeling was disruptive to your stay. We have worked very hard to limit guest exposure, but I understand that the lobby remodel was impossible to ignore during certain parts of the process. I am happy to let you know that this phase will be complete by the end of the... More

The rooms were just beautiful and spotless, even though the hotel lobby was undergoing renovations. I was given a fourth floor junior suite, a free upgrade that I did not even request! I felt completely pampered. Free ice cream in the evening, extensive tv satellite channels, incredible and friendly service, a great breakfast.... I did not use the pool, but... More

We were passing through and getting kind of tired, so we pulled off I-75 and found this Holiday Inn Express. I knew it was highly rated, so we decided to give it a try. The hotel was great. We had a nice and clean room. Beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the breakfast a lot. Location was great. Right off... More

Location: quiet, away the busy highway; Starbucks and a movie theater are within walking distance; Flatwoods Park and Lettuce Lake offer walking trails nearby. Friendly desk staff gave us directions to parks and to a Vietnamese restaurant. The room was fine, with a comfortable bed and wi-fi. Breakfast was OK, though fresh fruit was in short supply. At check-in, we... More

Holiday Inn is a great place to stay, good service and good food in nearby restaurants. Went to the pier to catch a cruise and parked at a Premier Parking location on Brush street.

Dear Don, Thanks for your compliments about our hotel and location. We do offer the ability to avoid the terminal parking by leaving your car at the hotel (free). We'll assist you in scheduling a private car to the port. It's a few dollars more than terminal parking, but the service and peace of mind are probably worth it, considering... More

I stayed for two nights and have to say I was underwhelmed, given all the gushing positive reviews for this hotel on tripadvisor. Sure, the gimmicks (free drink at checkin and a free ice cream on an evening) were pleasant enough, but the rest was just mediocre. On arriving at the hotel, I was greeted by a sign saying ‘back...
