Holiday Inn - Tampa North, an IHG Hotel

I thought the breakfast was included as IHG advertises this but nevertheless we did enjoy it, it lacked the American charm we were expecting as it was small and they didn’t do pancakes and originally said they had no waffles then suddenly found some when I explained my son was autistic and couldn’t eat anything else on the limited menu. Overall the staff were really friendly and helpful and the facilities were great. The pool is small but perfect for a quick dip after Busch gardens. Busch is a hop away and that was our main reason for booking. USD 50 from airport which was more than expected but very easy to procure from airport taxi booking desk outside terminal. Few dining options available unless you are happy jumping in an uber. I was hoping to wander out in the evening and browse but I appreciate this isn’t culturally the norm unless you’re downtown in a city or in New York for instance! Very clean, modern and comfortable throughout.

Beautiful room. Microwave and refrigerator and Keurig coffee maker (all in one place with some counter space... very nice). Bathroom roomy with one sink and lots of counter space. Nice deep bathtub and shower. Everything clean. Two double beds and large flat screen tv. Room good location... sunlight late afternoon. Outdoor pool. Restaurant in hotel.

Cold scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. A little misleading statement regarding hotel “restaurant”, whatever it is cannot be called restaurant. It is a sleepy one person operation.

Everything was great but the toilets. They are the OLD STYLE round small, small, small. Time to update. Elongate PLEASE…….

Everything was clean, great amenities.
