A great stay!
This hotel was clean and spacious. It offered thoughtful amenities such as complimentary toothbrush and toothpaste if needed, as well as a big variety of foods for a continental breakfast. All of the staff were friendly and courteous.

Good hotel but location still under development
Hotel was as expected from IHG group. The only problem was the location. Still developing, with only gas stations and a crowd of homeless people that have nowhere to go. That does not contribute to the location image and tourism. Sorry

Holiday Inn Express Tampa Ybor City
My stay was good. The only complaint was there was no hot water in room 428. The hotel is close to the Tampa cruise port. Diane was great when I checked in and out. Thank you for the great customer service. There were a lot of homeless people in the area. It was a good stay for one night.

Nice clean place
The hotel is really nice. The staff were nice. I wish the water would have been warmer and the sink not clogged, but it is what it is. Beds were comfortable and the food was decent.
