Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites TAMPA -USF-BUSCH GARDENS

We moved rooms because we were initially put in a handicapped room where the shower flooded the whole bathroom. Our new room had neither an ironing board nor a working coffee machine. On top of this, Wifi basically does not work in the rooms - you have to go to the lobby to get a consistent signal. This would not be so much of an issue if the Business Center were adequate, but it simply isn't. There is ONE PC there and that's it; hardly enough for a hotel of this size. Similarly, the exercise room has only one treadmill and one stationary bike. Hardly enough, again. Rooms were clean and staff seemed friendly enough, but some of the basic facilities here were simply lacking, as explained above.

This was a great place to stay for the close proximity of Busch Gardens and Adventure Island.

We have stayed here the past 3 times thispast year that we have gone to BG and each time I find more and more things dirty in the room. Also I hate asking for extra towels when you book a room for 4 people we should have at least 4 towels not 3. Get it together please otherwise why are you asking how many in a room. Last but not least the service shuttle to the BG park should be more frequent. I hate waiting for the "next shuttle" when there are only 3 scheduled times. At least this time the shuttle service coincided with the closing hours, this was not the case during the summer when the park clased at 9pm and the last hotel shuttle left at 4:30.

it was an overnite trip for friends. the rooms were nice, staff was friendly. The buffet the next day was decent. it was primarily used as a meeting and sleeping stay but there were no complaints i live fairly close thats why i chose that location for everyone to meet. we did walk to get a bite and driving down the street everyday is very different from trying to manuever the sidewalks with busy traffic at night. i would not go far with my kids in tow walking. was surprised how the resturaunts were so close to the hotel.

I honestly can't say one bad thing about my experience. The hotel is literally right next to Busch Gardens. It's brand new, very beautiful. The room was spotless, clean, and comfortable. The staff was so friendly. There is a shuttle bus to the park, our driver was so friendly, even came and picked us up early. The continental breakfast was the best I've had at any HIE. All in all, this was one of the best hotel stays I think I've had next to a Hilton.

the first room,we couldn't open the fridge door because of couch. 2nd room the coffee maker kept blowing the gfi breaker

The rooms were very nice. Everything was cleanand new. Attempted to use the business center in the morning but it was congested with the same person for over an hour.

The Holiday Inn Express was nice and in a good location. It met all of my expectations but did not go beyond. The room was clean and nice, as was the rest of the hotel. Staff was friendly enough and food was very close by. The location though very close to Busch Gardens, as was stated it is to far to walk. Also I did not find the hotel shuttle to work in our time frame, which was very disapointing.

This hotel is clean and served good breakfast. It's close to Bush Garden but too far to walk. The hotel's shuttle bus drop off at 9-10am and pick up at 5pm, but the park close at 9pm during the summer. My room was very noisy, I could hear the delivery truck, UPS, and gabage pick up at 2AM. Management offer me two other rooms. The first one, I could hear local traffic from the street and the second one was facing a roof full of mildew. This hotel is not worth the $$$.

Nice hotel with good amenities. Great complimentary breakfast selection. Wouldn't recommended walking to Busch Gardens. The neighborhood is a bit scary and ghetto with some sketchy characters walking around.
