Tampa 3/2-3/7
Very good value, clean neat rooms and courtyard. Pool and hot tub looked inviting but was too cold to use. Great location near USF campus and hospitals.

Nice place in Tampa
A nice trip for spring break with my daughter. We took advantage of the shuttle service to Busch Gardens. There were places close by to shop & eat. The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly.

It was EXCELLENT. Good location.
This was an emerency visit, my son was very ill. So I stayed at hospital but this hotel was close, so I did not have to travel far. I would recommend this hotel to my family and friend. It was clean, the people were very professional, very nice. I just enjoyed my stay.

Holiday Inn Suites Tampa Busch Gardens
Hotel was very clean and only problem was a light that needed a new bulb which was fixed immediately. They had a great little bar next to the pool and the staff were very friendly. We didn't experience the restaurant, but others said it was very good as well. I would recommend this Holiday Inn to others who visit this part of Tampa.
