This was my first time staying at this property in Lakewood Ranch. I have stayed at other in the area in the past, and the Holiday Inn Express did a great job this past weekend. I was in town for a family event, but the there was many events happening in the area that weekend (major youth soccer tournament). The hotel was packed, and with lots of teenagers. The hotel was still quite for sleeping, and the wild side of the kids was controlled. The room was clean and very comfortable. The big thing was the staff. They were always very friendly and helpful. Hats off to the morning breakfast staff. With the hotel being so busy, and so many teens. The breakfast staff kept the food stacked and ready even a little later than the times said were for breakfast. They were friendly and polite, and keep the eating area very clean. Great work ladies. My only reason for the 4 star over the 5, is the location. The hotel is kinda tucked back off of Rt70, and the street with the hotel sign is easy to miss. My advice, use the light at 87th Street (Rosedale) to come and go. Thank you folks for a great weekend.

“Pretty Good Stay”

We had two rooms here recently. We thought both rooms (one king room and one room with two queens) were quite spacious. One room had a nice sitting area with a sofa. The sofa was a little worn but the rest of the room was still in good shape. The bed was firm and comfortable. Housekeeping ke... more

We had two rooms here recently. We thought both rooms (one king room and one room with two queens) were quite spacious. One room had a nice sitting area with a sofa. The sofa was a little worn but the rest of the room was still in good shape. The bed was firm and comfortable. Housekeeping kept the rooms quite clean. The bath towels were large and very clean. There was a nice looking breakfast every morning but we never ate there so I am not sure how tasty it was. My only complaint is that the rooms got a stuffy or musty smell if you didn't run the ac a lot. Otherwise it was a very good stay and I would definitely stay there again. The hotel has a pool but we never visited it. The front desk staff were super friendly and nice. We were greeted every time we entered or left the hotel.

“Good for a quick one night stay”

We had a large room with a king sized bed and separate area with couch, microwave and mini refrigerator. Unfortunately the room is a tired outdated brown motif and there was just not enough light in the room and the Tv was located so that it was difficult to watch from the couch.

We had a large room with a king sized bed and separate area with couch, microwave and mini refrigerator. Unfortunately the room is a tired outdated brown motif and there was just not enough light in the room and the Tv was located so that it was difficult to watch from the couch. The couch was uninviting as there were tears in some of the fabric. The room was clean and the mattress extremely firm. The AC heat unit was the loud window unit type. No thermostat. The bathroom was fine..a large vanity and a shower tub combo. The free breakfast had a lot of variety and the breakfast area was clean but most items were low quality and unappealing.
