Other than the room itself being spacious and clean, the rest of the place smelled like weed, literally a few minutes away from a functioning jail, parking was all beat up, jacuzzi shown on the online pics is no longer there, pool is full of mosquitoes from the nasty lake in the back, the front desk lady that was there when we arrived was very rude, will never stay here again.

Awesome hotel. Everyone was excellent. The only issue was the parking is shared with other businesses. You have to get there in the evening to get a parking spot.

Hotel is under heavy construction, none of the guests were told. Construction workers sharing the ONLY elevator. I got lost a couple of times through unlocks doors, and God help them if OSHA shows up. Dam sure not a $167 hotel Anyway

Hotel rooms were very nice and updated, however the hotel is undergoing some major construction right now, which we didn’t know when we booked unfortunately. So there wasn’t a business room to be able to print my parents airline tickets, but overall the experience was still very positive and I’m sure the lobby/first floor will be very nice once construction is completed

Loved it here! The staff was amazing and gave us recommendations for what to do for the day. Pool was crystal clear and the hotel had eating options that was within walking distance. Will definitely stay here again! 10/10

Beautiful hotel with a modern design. Very comfortable and relaxing room. Our room was on the back side of the hotel and it was very quiet. A free breakfast was served and it was great. The warm cinnamon rolls were awesome! We didn’t use it but the outdoor pool looked pretty nice. My wife and I will definitely stay here again if we need a place to stay in Largo.

Hotel is currently going through a much needed renovation. I stayed in the recently renovated 3rd floor. When I entered my room I clearly heard the adjacent rooms conversation. The walls are not sound proof so be aware your actions/conversations in your room. Next, the doors to each rooms SLAM every time someone enters or exits. This is very disturbing from 10 - 5:00AM as drunk people come back home from their exploits. Lastly, there is a disconnect between housekeeping and the front desk. I asked politely twice each morning for a iron to be in my room as it was missing. That request was never fulfilled. Probably not a big deal for most guests but I need to iron my shirt before work. Disappointed.

This was the first time being at this particular Holiday Inn, but they did not disappoint at all!! Easy check in, they actually let us check in early, the front desk was awesome and so so nice. We stayed for 3 nights and we got to our room and the ac wasn't blowing that great so the maint. man came and looked at it and they ended up switching our rooms and the offered to help us move our things and apologized so many times. My son has extreme asthma so he has to have good airflow. They were all so very nice the maint. guy, the front desk people, the maids they were all great. But I want to personally thank the girl Brianna at the front desk, she was just so wonderful and helpful and talked with my kiddos and was just very personable and great! Thank you for the things you did Brianna to make me and my family feel welcome and at home, you have no idea how much I appreciate it!

We made a reservation for a room with two queen beds, but were given a room with only one bed for the same price. My husband, our daughter, and I had to squeeze into one small bed. The front desk staff was extremely rude and unhelpful — they showed no interest in resolving the issue. It was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this hotel to others.

When we come back the room wasn’t clean and we wait 1 hour and half to they can clean the room. I will not recomen anyone that hotel.

Location

Convenient for drivers and airport access, with dining, a sports bar, and Clearwater Ice Arena nearby; it sits in the ICOT business park. A few guests were disappointed it is in Largo rather than Clearwater Beach, and one noted the nearby jail.

It was fine. Breakfast left a little to be desired. But I much preferred cleanliness, which it was, minus a towel being dirty. Shower was good. Plenty of hot water. Location was ideal. There was a driver doing doughnuts in the parking lot the first night. Other than that, never really felt unsafe.

When I made the reservation I assumed you were in Clearwater Beach, only to find out that you were largo. I tried to cancel at 220pm and was told it was too late to cancel. This is not Fair. I want my refund. I will never stay at a holiday Inn again. I never stayed at your hotel last night. I'm pissed off.

The room was great. Comfortable and clean. Lots of flies in the lobby and when Sunday morning arrived someone didn’t show up for work. There was no hot breakfast. Many people waiting in the lobby for the doors to open for breakfast. After 7am a child opened the doors to see what was going on and informed us no one was in the breakfast area. You could get cold cereal or yogurt but not much else. Why the person behind the desk didn’t put up a sign or make an announcement is a mystery.
