Holiday Inn Express Clearwater East - Icot Center

Very nice hotel and bed. Breakfast was good, pool wasn’t very clean but the beautiful lake behind made up for it. Bed was super soft. I had a problem sleeping both nights because of noisy neighbors. One man brought dogs that barked every time he left the room, and I could hear the entire conversations of the people upstairs - very thin walls. It was a work trip and my wife stayed with me, overall we enjoyed the hotel and breakfast, but we only got 4-5 hrs of sleep because of all the noise. Would not stay again, sorry.

Unfortunately the stay was not as I expected it to be. When we checked in the lady at the check in desk was nice how ever she did stay it was a non smoking unit I have a 1 year old with asthma and when we entered the room the smell was terrible. I had to spray it my self we just dropped of our thing and left for the day. When we got back at about midnight and entered the room the shower was dirty there was hair all over the shower walls and toilet had 2 black hairs. Very upsetting it was very late and with a 1 year old needing to sleep I didn’t want anyone in the room so I didn’t bother calling but was definitely not pleased with the stay.

Overall it was a positive experience (clean room, good breakfast, etc). However, there was a constant problem with the keys. The cards often did not work and it was a few times that we had to ask to reprogram them. Once it was really bad situation: my friend and I were coming back to the hotel late, when the door was already locked. Our keys did not work. We rang the door bell. Nobody answered. We knocked on the door. No reaction.We spent quite a few time in front of the locked door at the night time before we were able to find the phone number and call the receptionist. It was a pretty unpleasant situation. Please pay attention at the quality of the hotel key cards. Thanks.

Room was perfect in every way. Couldn’t ask for anything better, recommend this hotel to everyone!
