My wife and I were traveling to Miami for a Caribbean cruise. This just happened to be the same time Hurricane Matthew was threatening the east coast of Florida. There were many people attempting to secure rooms on the west coast of Florida. When we arrived at this hotel it was very, very, very busy. The young lady at the front desk never missed a beat. While checking me in, she answered at least four phone calls and never lost sight of the numerous customers waiting for her services. The room was just as I expected of Holiday Inn Express. I was more impressed how professionally the staff handled the chaos of that evening.

This property is close to Busch Gardens. There are many restaurants that service the area. The front desk staff very nice upon checking in and out. The hotel is in a busy area of Tampa but the room was very quiet. You wouldn't know you were even close to a busy roadway. The room was immaculately clean. The property and public areas were clean and tidy. Nothing seemed to be out of place. The kingsized bed very comfortable.
For the price I paid, I got a lot of amenities.
Would stay here again.

This Hotel was a very convenient to Busch Gardens, and was a pleasant surprise!
I felt safe, you had to have your Hotel Key to access any side doors. It was a reasonable price with a Great Free Breakfast that included bacon and eggs. We were able to walk to an Olive Garden to eat supper. And BEST of all, I left my favorite blanket there, and discovered this three days later, and emailed them and they returned it to me Fed Ex!!

Booked here because of the good reviews. The hotel totally stood up to them on my visit. Very clean, everyone was friendly and also had a nice breakfast. Would totally recommend to anyone. Also, very close to parks and no need to park there with the free shuttle = huge bonus.

Check in was easy. Front desk staff was fantastic and efficient. Rooms were clean and modern and breakfast was typical for this class of hotel. Food was hot and fresh and dining area was clean. This hotel is actually 5 star for the area. Many hotels in the immediate area are a bit rundown. Oh, free shuttle to Busch Gardens park was a value add. They drop off and pick up right at the gate. You don't have to pay to park and monkey around with parking shuttles.
