“Great Hotel w/Great Service & Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

This place is a breath of fresh air! Very comfortable rooms with that are up to date. Amenities are perfect. The staff is very accomodating-no request was too much or a problem, always greeted with "no problem" and a smile! Management was also very friendly and attentive-wanted to be sure your stay was good, and was genuinely interested in you-the customer learing where you were from and to assure your stay was what you expected. The continental breakfast was adequate and fresh. The staff handling the breakfast deserve a big thank you as they kept the area stocked and CLEAN, again with a smile assuring you had what you wanted. You get what you pay for and this was worth it. If you looking for a cheap deal go downtown where the dumps are and for the price this was well worth it. The environment you surround yourself with can really make or break you day! Thank you to this place for making my day! Keep up the good work, will be back when in the area.

“Not so great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

This hotel was way over priced. But we were tired of driving and had to stop.
Our friend's room was minus the refrigerator--they told the desk people right away so that they would not be charged for theft.
It was a stopping place on the way south.
The breakfast was actually quite decent--the powdered scrambled eggs were good. The automatic pancake maker spit out tough little gems. They had yogurt.
The breakfast made the stay.

“A Convenient Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2013

Good for overnight stop just off the I75. Staff were efficient and room had all facilities. It was about 10 minutes to downtown Venice for shops and restaurants. Well serviced with an adequate breakfast. The hair dryer in our room was faulty and was quickly replaced with another. We used the internet hotspot once that evening only to find that our email had been hacked into and that caused considerable problems. The lady on reception would note the fact, but sounded little concerned or even did not understand the consequences - beware !

Room Tip: Although the hotel was fully booked we were over the front door and all was quiet.

“A Good Holiday Inn Express”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

Favorable reviews here influenced me to book a room at this hotel. The staff is eager to please customers. We were pleased in every way except that we would have liked to be nearer to the downtown area.

“Oir visit at Holiday Inn Express in Venice, Fl.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

There was a gal by the name of Lisa D. in the food service area who is a HUGE asset to the hotel .............. We have stayed at this facility frequently over the past 5 years and in our opinion... you can't get a much better employee than her!!
Sincerely,
Arthur C. Damiano
