We've had a junior suit for our family of five. It was spacious and we slept like babies. The pool was nice after a day of travel and long walks but the pool boy could have removed the leaves (which we reported afterwards at the front desk).

This was my first time staying at a Holiday Inn Express. It was pretty good. Clean and comfortable rooms. Had a major drainage problem in the shower, but only stayed for 1 night. The breakfast was not exciting, but it worked.

Last year we stayed at this property when it was the Country Inn Suites. They have since renovated the hotel and Holiday Inn is the new property. The hotel seems brand new (no more mildew smells) with a modern decor. Morning free breakfast still offered, yummy cinnamonrolls were my favorite. My only complaint was the new beds. If you like...

Thank you for taking the time to complete the review on TripAdvisor. From your review, I understand that you were happy with the hotel, but were inconvenienced by the process of using 2 separate reservations and how it was handled by the Front Desk. I understand your issue and we have looked at the process. Apparently, it “confused” our computer... More

Conveniently located 3 blocks from I-75. Easy driving to Tampa, St. Petersburg, only 10 minutes from Siesta Key. Hotels by the beach cost twice. Excellent complimentary hot breakfast served till 9:30 AM. If going to Siesta Key public beach try to be there before 10:00 AM to find a parking spot. Friendly personnel (except Laura, receptionist that works second shift).... More

Thank you for taking the time to discuss our hotel. We also feel that we are a good value over the higher priced beach properties while still being convenient to the water. From the hotel, all you need to do is continue straight and you run right into Siesta Key which was recently voted the #1 beach in the country.... More

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The white gravy that you mentioned is a southern tradition of sausage gravy and biscuits. It may not be the healthiest breakfast food, but it is “tasty”. Our menu does change daily, and also includes items such as eggs or cheese omelets, a breakfast meat as well as Holiday Inn Express signature cinnamon... More
