We did have a snag. The remote in our room was missing. They gave us another non working one and when we finally got the tv working. the screen was cracked. They offered to replace it at 9PM but we said it was too late for us to have them bother. The landline phone did not work either. Breakfast was great.

Holiday Inn Express across the Blvd Tampa St Fair.

This was my second stay in a two week period of time. Both were fabulous, the hotel was spotless pleasant smelling the rooms were super clean beds were so comfortable bathroom were really clean and well appointed. The highlight of our stay was the fabulous breakfast. The food was so delicious and was set up pleasing to the eye. Most of all every item was cooked to perfection and was the best hot line meal I’ve ever eaten. I give full credit to Bascom and his supervisor both were great but the heart and soul of the breakfast and its cleanliness along with a delightful personality to please each and every guest goes to Bascom. Checking in was the smoothest and most pleasant I have ever had even with a late in the evening check in after a very long hard day Vanessa made sure our needs were taken care of she continued that high level of service as did Bascom throughout our stay. I highly recommend this Holiday Inn Express to everyone staying in the Tampa area. Being in a super high traffic location one might not expect such an ultra fine lodging with top of the line service and food but it’s the best in all categories.

Overall satisfied

This is my second time staying here. Overall decent hotel. Pros: Rooms and lobby are clean Short distance to casino Continental breakfast, decent selections Friendly and accomodating staff Cons: Toilets barely flush properly (on both stays) Rooms have a stale smell to them (like air conditioners need replacing or cleaning - both stays) Walls are thin - could hear a man yelling at someone all night

Casino stay

We chose this hotel because it was more half the price of staying at the casino. We were impressed with the hotel in every aspect and will be staying there again next casino trip.
