Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Tampa North an IHG Hotel, Tampa

We found the hotel met our needs. It was clean and close to a number of good restaurant choices.

Liked: The courtyard with pool was pleasant.
Disliked: A little further from Skippers than we expected.

Excellent value and nice room...

Disappointing

Liked: If you plan on goin to Busch Gardens or just visiting family and don't mind driving thru Tampa thus is an ideal location to stay. Plenty of food. The mall is near. USF is near. Literally over 30 to 40 eating spots in this area alone. The pool was also cool. It's not very big but it goes to 7ft at its deepest. It's between 2 restaurants already. The parking is free so that's also a plus
Disliked: The hot water in the room never actually got hot. More lukewarm than anything else. They ate not cleaning the rooms because of covid but they could at least drop new linen daily, even if it's just towels and, hand towels, and wash cloths. Had to go to front desk to get it after I asked someone on staff for it and they never came back that day. I got it the next day but still.....

I stayed for 4 nights...

Liked: wide room , Excellent Air condition,
Disliked: People are not helpful and support .you need to follow up many times in order to clean the room.

Bad

Liked: room was not cleaned and bad smell. there was rotten food in the microwave. After ask the refund they recused do that. After stressed moments and other customer compplain about that all togheter they refunded my credit card. Today, I just figured out they cherged 2 credit cards and I am trying to get my money back again.BAd moments.

absolutely horrendous

Liked: absolutely nothing
Disliked: there?s not a single thing that I enjoyed about this stay. We arrived and got our first room, when we got to our room there was 0 door handle. we were so shocked but there was no way to open the door. (how did they not notice this during cleaning ?) we had to lug our luggage back to the lobby and get a new room. finally we get our 2nd room and I had walked in and immediately saw a hole punched in the wall, we took a picture immediately to make sure we were not held responsible. once we got near the bed I noticed how filthy the wall was(I tried to shake it off, we just needed a place to sleep for the evening). that?s when we noticed the greasy hand prints all over the head board. we started to inspect more, the comforter was absolutely GROSS. looks like the comforter hadn?t been washed in months. my husband then pulled off the comforter and oh my goodness, the SHEETS. they are literally trying to get away with not even putting clean linens on their beds. We of course went down and demanded a immediate refund, while down there there were 3 other people asking for refunds for the same reason. one lady said she had purchased 2 rooms, 1 of their room had old food still in the microwave and that the entire room smelt terrible and that the second room was so filthy(common thing) the man at the desk told her they removed the food so he would not refund her for both rooms, only one. WHAT?!?!
