Welcome to Holiday Inn Express Hotel Inn Suites

The following are our esteemed customer's reviews:

::::::::	“Comfortable and accomodating” August 24, 2007 Rhode Island, USA We stayed here while moving our son into Eckerd College. It is only 10 minutes from the school and adjacent to the highway for easy access. The hotel is close enough to downtown, the waterfront and museums and various malls to make it a nice base of operations. The hotel is clean and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. We will stay here again whenever we visit our son.

::::::::	“Nice place once you find it!!” Nov 16, 2007 Oak Lawn, Illinois Road construction made this property a bit hard to find. The hotel is in renovation and the building dust is still a bit pervasive in the halls and common area. Breakfasts are provided. No omelets but boiled eggs are on the buffet which has most of the typical foods provided by chain hotels and motels. For the most part our stay was very enjoyable. I almost got addicted to the most delicious oranges I've had in a while. Oranges, apples and coffee are provided from dawn to bedtime. The USA TODAY was provided with breakfast. WI-FI worked well. Didn't use the pool since it was a bit cool outside. This property is convienent to Tampa and my wife and I used it as a base for a visit to Busch Gardens. I would think that this property would be okay for most travelers.

::::::::	“Nice HI Express in a convenient location” Nov 19, 2007 UK This hotel is not under renovation, as a previous entry suggests - its not yet 2 years old. The hotel is right next door to the I-275 and a Cracker Barrel restaurant. The location is very convenient for St Pete's downtown area and other locations. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with very comfortable beds. If you are not familiar with HI Express hotels, the entire chain is under renovation so you will find uniformity with the interior. The breakfast was nicely laid out and held in probably the nicest HI Express breakfast room we have seen. There is also an on-site laundry (2 washers/2 dryers) and a gym with elliptical trainer, treadmill and recumbent bike - all in good working condition. We didn't use the pool so can't comment on whether or not it stayed in the sun all day. If you are looking for something to do while in St Pete's, try and fit in a visit to the Salvador Dali Museum. They have an incredible collection and regular docent guided tours. We also went slightly further south to Sarasota to the John & Mabel Ringling Museum of Art,. The day we visited the Art Museum was free and an entry fee was only being charged to view the Circus diorama, Mansion house and a film about the Ringlings.

::::::::	"Wonderful" June 11, 2007 keathsteves, virginia We had a wonderful time at Holiday Inn Express Hotel Inn & Suites. Rooms are comfortable, service is great, the beach is unspoiled and clean. Lovely golden sand that you can just lie in all day long. The waves can get quite high but they are really something else. For the less adventurous, the infinity pool is gorgeous. Try the spa, its really great and weather permitting, everyone should make the trip to St. Petersburg, Florida. It was by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen! The food on the hotel too was just great. Just go.

::::::::	"Fantastic honeymoon" Apr 8, 2007 SH Combo, Texas We have just returned from our honeymoon. We spent a lot of time and effort researching venues and were extremely pleased with our final choice. The overall impression we took away was that the entire team at Holiday Inn St, Petersburg enjoyed their jobs, and went out of their way to deliver a high level of customer service. We were looking for a chilled place to relax, swim, tan and read, with good food and hospitality. This is exactly what we got, and we would not hesitate in recommending the hotel.

::::::::	"Outstanding, amazing" May 21, 2007 Philip, Maryland What a superb hotel, staying at the Holiday Inn is a complete experience not just a holiday. We stayed in a room which was lovely, very spacious and comfortable. It was bright and airy, with a separate washing/dressing area and an excellent shower room. The shower was better than our power shower at home with ample room to splash around! Outside we had a small private garden and also there is a outdoor bath pool.

::::::::	"Interesting hotel in a great location" Jun 3, 2005 A Trip Advisor Member, Granny VA We stayed in a room, which was spacious and comfortable but a little dark for us, and an another room which was much lighter and brighter and more to our personal taste. Housekeeping services are very good indeed, and we took advantage of a great laundry service so came back with a suitcase of clean clothes! All in all, we loved the hotel and will definitely return. They're currently renovating the spa so there was a fair amount of noise at one end of the hotel, but it is spread over a huge area so was not a major disturbance to us.

::::::::	"Brilliant! Highly Recommend" Mar 21, 2005 A Trip Advisor Member, Alexandria, TX Personnel very friendly the type that always tries to satisfy your wishes or at least they do the best they can. It was low season, so not many people, and everything was going well and truly relaxing. The rooms are excellent, clean and beautiful (the best I have seen).Most of them are fully renovated. The beach is very nice as well as the pools. I would recommend this hotel to everyone, all ages. If you want to laze around, you can, but if you want to be active, there are a lot of things to do. The water is clean and the beaches are beautiful! LOVE IT! Would go back again and WILL go back again! :)

::::::::	"Lovely place"
	A Trip Advisor Member, Buckingham, NV Aug 23, 2005 My husband and I stayed here for the last week of our vacation. The Holiday Inn Express is lovely. Chef Ann is the walking menu and is a great character and we felt that the food was really good and we had been offered to taste a variety of foods. The hotel has very clean, comfortable and cozy rooms. They offer some excellent rooms at great prices. There is the golden gym facilities for health cautious people. The awesome whirlpool and we enjoyed the morning breakfast'. There were a lot of families and children playing at the pool - so overall a peaceful/vacation place. A lovely hotel with nice staff.
