Very close to busch gardens with shuttle- however shuttle to is on the hour. Shuttle back to hotel can be a long wait from when you call-... More

Booked through priceline, great location, right next to Busch Gardens and USF. Inner courtyard and pool area are very nice with plenty of trees and plants. Stayed in a 2 room suite. Kind bed was very soft and comfortable. Room and appliances seemed a little outdated. Televisions were terrible, small box sets with many channels discolored or showing static. More

My family & I stayed here for one night during the Christmas break. Audrey greeted us at the front desk and was very friendly and accommodating to our early check in request. After checking in we found our room in order but had a not so clean odor and the view was less than desirable (we saw trash etc strewn... More

My family & I stayed here on New Years Eve and were very satisfied with the experience. We experienced a friendly greeting at the desk by Audrey and were fortunate enough to be able to check in slightly early. After checking in we found our room in order and were then taken to Busch Gardens by the complimentary shuttle. After... More

I have been impressed with the Holiday Inn brand and the updating they have been doing all across the country until I saw this place. Advertised as a 3 star, it is really a 1 star and is closer to a motel 6 or days inn quality. Very sad. More

My family and I stayed here for one night before a visit to Busch Gardens. I booked the room through priceline, and I was a little skeptical at first, but I think Holiday Inn has been working really hard at improving their brand. The property itself didn't look like anything special from the road, but once you were in the... More

This hotel is an older 3-story "court" style motel. The rooms open onto an outside corridor, but all rooms face inward to the courtyard, which has restricted access. The rooms are really small suites, with separate living areas with couch, table, refrigerator, microwave and sink; I think this would make them good for families. The bathroom is off the bedroom...

Ok first of all gotta say that the front desk staff was superb. They went out of their way to help us out with the exception of the lady who drove us to Busch gardens she was on her cell phone the whole way there talking to her friend. Cleanliness was a major issue. My 1 year old daughter was... More

After leaving a disqusting hotel down the street (See my review on Baymont Inn by Busch Gardens), we were desperate to find a hotel as it was already 5:30pm. It was so nice when we walked into the lobby of the Holiday Inn. It was clean, smelled nice and we recieved a wonderful greeting from Tara behind the counter. Told... More
