Nice location. Wawa sits in front, very comfortable stay. One thing I do not like is when breakfast runs out before the end time, make sure you be 30 mins before it end if you want to eat the hotel breakfast and at night we would have to turn the temperature down to stay comfortable.

Wonderfully and Pleasantly Surprised - Great Value

My stay was wonderful. The room was great: clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. My husband even remarked how well he slept. The staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Most hotels we frequent don't have non-pork options, but we were happy to have turkey sausage available. Also hooks to hang towels and clothing were available and a nice area to put our duffel bags and carry-ons. Close proximity to restaurants and shopping areas was also convenient. Most important I felt the value for money compared to other hotels put the icing on the cake. I haven't had an opportunity in the past to frequent Holiday Inns but I'm glad that I was able to stay with them on my most recent trip. The decor of this hotel including the decor of the room was very pleasing to the eye for me. Next time, I'll upgrade to a larger suite, if possible, but don't take that comment as a complaint - the room was wonderful and met our needs for our 2-night stay. Thanks Holiday Inn - Ybor City by IHG
