Nice property in Lakewood Ranch area, close to restaurants, shopping, and the interstate. Hard to find anything to eat after 10pm though, and it was a Friday night when I checked in. Hard to tell the differences of rooms on the website do ask.

My husband and I stayed here over the Memorial Day weekend. This hotel was more than we expected for the price. The decor is very nice, the beds were comfortable, and the pool area overlooked the lake - so much better than looking at the parking lot! The hotel staff was very pleasant and accommodating. We had breakfast at the... More

This Inn is has it all. Yes, it is bigger then your average Holiday Inn with resturant and nice decorated lobby! The rooms have decent space and well decorated with some furnishings that need updating. Slept very well aside from a pillow that almost makes you want to sleep without it. Aside from that, it's well located - friendly greeters!... More

I was there for a week on business. Everyone on property was great; the room was clean and comfortable. The Alamo Steakhouse is amazing (I recommend the gator bites)! Make sure to stop by the lake outside to see the alligators too! Great place for business or vacation, the area around is really nice. Thanks for the great week Holiday... More

After staying here every year since it was opened, we stayed twice within a fortnight. My wife requested an unscheduled return before we checked out. Soothing, calm and displaying quality in every way, the hotel also offers good access to the sea (45 minutes away) and is close to I 75. The only snag is the pillows which are small... More

Thanks so much for your positive response. The Holiday Inn standard for the full service hotels had been the labeled soft and firm pillow. I am in agreement that you either love them or dislike them. That being said, the standard has changed and we ordered the new full size pillow, that should be in any day. I hope you... More

Holiday Inns usually fall into one of two categories. Old and dingy or updated and nice. This was closer to the latter. Very nice looking lobby with an attached restaurant. Waterfall display in the lobby with plenty of comfy seating. The room was generally nice and roomy. The bed I was in was not very comfy and the pillows left... More
