Reviews
The hotel received mixed reviews, with guests praising the cleanliness of the rooms, the quality of the breakfast, and the friendliness of the staff. However, there were several complaints about the hardness of the beds, the noise from the refrigerator and air conditioning, and the lack of handicap accessibility in some rooms. Additionally, some guests were disappointed that the pool was not available during their stay.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great. Unfortunately for the kiddos, the pool was green and closed. And for the out of shape people in the group, the stair climb to the 4th floor was brutal. The elevator was broke. Luckily we were only there 1 night for a graduation.

The property had good location. The hotel had the elevator out of service. And the pool was green and dirty. We wanted to enjoy all the amenities.

Don't waste your money here. This has to be the worst Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at and I doubt I'll stay at another one again because of this experience. The WiFi only worked in the hallway and in the lobby - not at all in the room, which was insane for a hotel in 2026. I was there on a business trip and really needed the WiFi to work. Also, the TV in the bedroom didn't work. I went to the front desk to ask for help and the employee told me there was nothing he could do about the WiFi and that the "TVs here don't work, so don't even bother." The employee who told me this smelled of alcohol/was potentially drunk on the job. Additionally, the bathroom was not clean. Someone else's hair was in the shower when I checked in, there were spots of mold on the shower curtain, the bath towel had yellow spots on it, and the bathroom door on the inside was filthy. The room itself was very loud, and the bed was sunken in the middle.

Nothing False advertising about the hot tub(which was concrete over), no towels available for the pool, missing breakfast items that were supposed to be served, and the WORST thing was that the shower head had ZERO water pressure, and I had to hug the tile to rinse off. Told the front desk when checking out and was offered a "soda or water" and fed excuses/apologies.

The hotel was aesthetically beautiful and very spacious, which made a great first impression. The included breakfast is also a very positive addition and definitely adds value to the stay. The property has a lot of potential, especially for guests staying during nearby events, but improvements in housekeeping are urgently needed to meet basic cleanliness standards. The cleanliness was very disappointing. In the bathroom, there were hairs on the floor and in the bathtub, and the bed sheets had noticeable yellow stains. This significantly affected the overall experience. We requested room service for cleaning, but even after it was done, there were still hairs left behind and the room was not properly cleaned. Unfortunately, this made our stay feel disappointing in that aspect.

There was very little toilet paper in the room. I left my room for the day and when I returned there was no toilet paper in my room. I had to go down to the front desk and I requested another roll and was told it would be brought up to me. No one came 4hrs later. I had to go back down to get it from the front desk. Won't stay here again.

the place was very quiet and comfortable. It was close to the university of south florida. It was in a safe area that had a good cafe in the same plaza. Breakfast was good in the morning. Checkout was a breeze A big letdown at the breakfast area the pancake maker was not working. No one could get pancakes, which was a highlight for the breakfast area until we woke up to find out it was broken. The rest of the available breakfast was good and coffee was good.

Beds are too high. Being 76 with a bad back, it was impossible to get into bed without help. Had I been alone, I would not have been able to sleep. I see no reason for beds to be elevated to such an extent. Even 2-3 inches lower would help.

Long, slow line at check-in. Only one elevator. Most of the parking is compact only with a sign in the lobby that oversized vehicles will be towed and/or fined. That would've been nice to know before booking.

The girl at the front desk was nice. There is absolutely NO REASON you should have to turn the sink then the shower on for over 30 minutes to have hot water. Cold showers suck, in February in Tampa. They should be ashamed to charge what they do and have to do a “trick” for your guest to have a hot (hell, warm) shower for a 3-day visit.

Only reason for the four stars and not the five: when we came for check in- we were standing in the lobby area for around 10-15 minutes before someone eventually showed up to check us in. The agent seemed to be busy in the back- this is okay, but at least have someone available. We had two rooms for check in and a couple was also waiting there as well. All in all- a great experience, AWESOME breakfast, courteous staff, highly recommend for families!

It was close to where we needed to go. beds were comfortable When I booked our stay it asked me when we will be arriving and I said 3 because check in is at 3. So we arrived around 3:20 and they said it would be like 5 mins till our room was ready they were putting towels in it. Well it was 4:35 before they finally gave us our room key as we stay in the lobby watching so people check in and get there keys and go to there rooms. Once we FINALLY get to our room there’s NO towels even in our room. They took over an hour to even get us some towels. The breakfast part was from 7 to 10 we went down around 8 for breakfast and everything was completely empty, yes they were making more but we sat there for 30 mins waiting on more breakfast because the whole bar of food was wiped out. Very unhappy

Arrived late evening with no hot water, just luke warm. Next morning water was fully cold. Wanted to call front desk but both phones also broken. Asked other guests at breakfast if they had any hot water and full week guests said it “comes and goes” often! Took freezing cold very quick shower and got going. Front desk said “something is wrong with the water heater affecting just one side of the third floor” today, but more guests confirmed it had been an issue their entire stay on all floors. Avoid!

I was very disappointed to say the least, with the ridiculous increase in the room rates. I’ve stayed here several times in the past and typically pay half the price of what I was charged I doubt very likely I’ll stay again.

We love to stay at Holiday Inn express all over the country. Our number one reason is that not only other rooms just as good as any other room, but you get the most delicious free breakfast and it’s consistent from one Holiday Inn express to another.. this particular, Holiday Inn express located near University of is also extremely convenient when visiting our daughter who’s attending there. Is super friendly and helpful. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the pool and the Jacuzzi were out of order and we were looking forward to swimming in them.

The bed was really hard. We could barely walk after getting the little sleep we did on it. The pool and spa are closed. When I asked how long before it would open, nobody knew. So, don't plan on that for your trip. Went down for breakfast the first morning at 8:15 and NO hot food stocked. Everything was empty. A couple of items were refilled 30 minutes later, as we were leaving. We noticed that the sausage patties were hockey pucks and decided not to bother with breakfast for the rest of the trip. The only redeeming qualties in this hotel are the staff. The room was very clean and the housekeepers were very accommodating and friendly. Front desk staff were nice, but we just couldn't get past the terrible bed. That, along with no pool, and lack of breakfast availability, was a deal-breaker for us. Such a shame, because this hotel has the potential to be good, but they need more staff up front and in food service.

My only complaint was not being notified the pool and hot tub was not avaiable. We was disappointed to find the pool closed off. We looked forward to relaxing in pool in between appointments. Overall, it was a great hotel for what we needed.

This property was nice. Good location for us near the college. Looked like they were fixing up the place. Hot tub broke. In our room the cold water ran out quick so the shower was burning after a few minutes. A little dirt in the bathroom. Liked the breakfast, workout room. The room itself. Price was good.

Check was quick and easy. My room was very clean and had what I needed to make my stay comfortable and pleasant. Housekeeping made sure to clean my room daily and leave clean towels and take the used ones.

It’s an average hotel, the hallways are dingy with an unpleasant odor. The rooms are clean, but overall the hotel is dated and it shows.

This has been my go-to hotel when moving my kid in and out of her dorm at USF. It's a quick 5 minute drive to the school, but also it's a little ways back from the main road so it's quiet. The rooms have always been clean and there's plenty of outlets. The free breakfast is better than average. I have recommended this hotel to other USF parents.

Absolutely mortifying experience! Room wasn’t cleaned after a medical stay. Left over medical patches and excretion everywhere. Very very dirty floor tiles to the point it was black. Pictures to show. Bathtub was full of water to the top with particles everywhere back up… couldn’t shower. Health hazards everywhere serious infection disease conditions

Paid Expedia in advance for my room (124). Then was billed again for room plus deposit upon arrival. They said last night it would be correct, but still see no refund on my credit card. No warm water to shower. Juice ran out, it was filled, but then didn’t dispense juice after filling. Coffee container was empty.

It was ha good stay. The only thing was that my door room was not in good condition, it looks like someone tried to force open the door and never was fixed. Besides that, it was clean, updated and the service was very good.

Was below standard of what I've come to expect from Holiday Inn Express. Beds were creaky and felt like they were falling apart. Shower was stocked with multiple Conditioners and no Shampoos. General cleanliness was below standard.

The hotel is fine, but the bathroom in the room was poor and the worst thing was that they never cleaned the room, no towels, no toilet paper, and they didn't pick up the trash. The maids never came in.

Our stay was great. Our daughter got the room for us because my wife had a full day of doctor appointments and we live over about 100 miles away. The hotel was close by and the staff was great.

The beds were very comfortable! The rooms was nice and dark, very good for sleep. The pool was dirty but that may still be from recent storms. Staff was great! 15 minutes from Busch Gardens

The shower was miserable. Lukewarm. Hard faucet to figure out. The window coverings are not dark and there is a street light shining right in lighting up the room. In fairness I didn’t inform staff of anything to give an opportunity to correct because it was midnight and I was just too tired.

I stayed here for 1 night. The check-in is 3:00. The rooms had not been cleaned yet. A few of us were waiting for rooms. Finally 5:00 we were able to get in the room. Not good. I will say when i got to the room was nice and clean.

We got our hotel room (414), immediately upon walking into the room there was a giant industrial blower, the room was very humid and smelled exactly like urine. We went downstairs & informed staff, this staff member moved us and said “I don’t know why he put you in there, it’s being worked on.” They had to switch us to a room with a King instead of two queens. There were multiple things we noticed about the property & room it’s just not worth the price you pay. The platform the bed sits on it’s smaller than the bed itself which was weird. One of the baseboards were falling off, mystery shower stains, not vacuumed floor, dusty ceiling fan, one of the lights wasn’t working and was rusted, floors are cracked, one elevator which is pretty slow and has the third floor button falling out. Overall just a very dingy hotel! Close to USF, very quiet area though. Overall, I wish I would’ve picked somewhere else but we were there for less than 24 hours.
