I love The Holiday Inn Express
I travel a lot and have learned that the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS is the best hotel for the money. They have the best beds, showers, and breakfast buffet. Free parking, great amenities, locations, and I have never had an issue with staff or service. The East Tampa/ Ybor, staff was especially sweet and helpful. Thank you for another great night.
