At least two of the ice machines didn't work, and the internet didn't work either. I went to the front desk in both instances, and the clerk was aware of the problems. Wondering how long they were out of service. Other than that, not bad, kind of bland breakfast compared to similar hotels. Barely an average rating for me.

The night clerk was extremely rude. His name was Oscar. He acted condescending and if you asked him something, he acted like it was a big deal. Oscar acted like he would rather be playing on his computer than doing his job.I dropped off my three children at the door and parked. (This took around thirty seconds to a minute.)... More

I agree with a previous reviewer. This is the best hotel in Bartow and for miles around. It is a fairly large and well kept Holiday Inn Express. We had a nice room with two double beds, it was clean and I assume they gave us extra towels because we were staying for two nights...which was nice. The free breakfast... More

Hotel was clean and had a helpful staff. Room was quiet when no one was walking down the halls. Wifi was terrible. It kept kicking me off with the laptop and phone. Breakfast was standard. No washer and dryer on second floor. I did not notice anything on first floor either. Air conditioning would not stay on regardless of temperature... More

Clean and bed and pillows very comfortable. Breakfast was adequate but could be expanded somewhat. Internet was intermittent as we were not located near the lobby. Lots of restaurants located nearby and some were in walking distance. Walmart and Walgreens also nearby.

After 90 miles peddling, this HIE was a site for sore eyes and other parts. It was clean with a good free breakfast in the morning. The location was great for restaurants and other things nearby. If you looking for a clean, safe place, the HIE is your place.

We wanted to stay Central Florida while we visited numerous retirement locations. I had some Priority Club points to use for part of the stay so we chose this location for the week. This was the best HI Express I have been in, very clean, staff was extremely helpful with dining suggestions, places to see. The breakfast buffet was good.... More
