They had a shuttle but we did not use. Was not warm enough for the pool. Overall, good hotel. Friendly staff, good breakfast with variety and replenished right away. Not sure about the area around the hotel. It is almost right across from busch gardens, but there are many homeless in the area.

Our family stayed for 4 nights at the Holiday Inn Express in Tampa near Busch Gardens. The amenities were ok. The staff at the frint desk were friendly and knowledgeable. We ate breakfast every morning. Most of the options were cold (omelets and sausage patties). However, it saved is from purchasing breakfast every morning. Additionally, our room was clean, but we struggled with the amount of studfiness we were experiencing in the room. We had to keep running the AC to combat it but it was below 50 degrees every night we were there! The only great thing about our experience was the shuttle to Busch Gardens. The drivers were very friendly and efficient. We went two days in a row, one of them being on New Years eve. We left the park around 12:30am and our drive Rick was quick to respond and picked us up. Overall, the experience was ok. Something really needs to be done about the air quality in the rooms and the overall breakfast options.
