I live in a hotel about 1/2 the time due my career. Anytime I come to the central florida area I stay at the Holiday Inn South. They are located a block from the Polk Parkway so I can be in Tampa or Orlando easy. There is a Super Walmart next door and several great shops and restaurants in the... more

The "hotel" is really a "motel" and probably just redecorated from the old style Holiday Inn glass front rooms that we all remember from years ago. Room service is only offered about eight hours out of the day, so if you arrive without a rental car, be aware of the issue that it presents....however, they do run a shuttle (free... more

Better than most Holiday Inns. Friendly staff. Large comfortable room with comfortable beds. Clean. Would rate this hotel as average but one must consider the name of the hotel. The gym is extremely outdated--it only has 2 really old treadmills and 2 other cardio machines. No free weights or other machines. However, you are allowed to work out for free... more

When you are a walk-in, anything is possible. I had never been in this area before and walked in here because I had first tried a local historic hotel that was far too expensive for the area. Trying to get New York City prices in the middle of Florida farm country is, I think, foolish, so I asked about other... more

Room was fine, hotel facilities not great. Restaurant closed one night at 8.30 as they had run out of food, not what you want after a flight from England. Breakfast was nothing special. All told the stay was OK, but is rather pricey for what you get. more

We have stayed at this hotel many times and belong to the priority membership. I recently called to make reservation and was shocked at the increase in price of this hotel which seems ludicrous for its quality and aged ammenities. You probably will get a $5-$10 off price if you book online but it is still very $$$. more

Stayed here in February. My room smelled like a wet dog. I switched rooms but the new room was little improvement. I've thrown away better towels than they provided. This room made me feel dirty and uncomfortable. Orlando has better hotels for the same price. more

My husband and I have stayed here several times, and it has always been consistently nice. The rooms are very clean. The only complaint is the continental breakfast --- which consists of only sweet rolls --- not a good idea for a diabetic! They serve a breakfast in the restaurant -- but it is not included in the room and... more

We stayed here because we came up to this area for a moutain biking trip with friends and this is where everyone was staying. Booked online and got a great rate for a king size bed and pool view room. The room was very spacious, more than enough to fit our two bikes and everything else. Very clean. The staff... more
