This hotel is under construction. For the amount of money, I spend per night Holiday Inn Express should be ashamed. The only reason I was in Bradenton was to attend my brother's Celebration Of Life. I'm not a spring breaker!! In general, the room was nice but spacious and the front desk clerk was very nice, and apologized for all the materials and dust.

This property is a dangerous construction zone. We were not made aware of the condition of the hotel. There are many tripping hazards, construction debris, dust, tools, and noise. We arrived at night and there was NO lighting in the parking lot. We thought it was closed, there was no signage. The pool is closed, the breakfast area was disgusting because the tables were covered with white construction dust. Refund requested.

Under Construction late Aug 2023
The lobby and some floors were under construction. The smells were highly overwhelming. The rooms were fine, breakfast was great, but wouldn't stay here again during construction. It's probably going to be great once it's done. AC was super loud and gave us trouble during sleep.

Stay away from this hotel. It’s under construction and you are not notified when making a reservation. The rooms are old and dirty, noisy air conditioners and there is an ant problem.

Stayed 8/5/23-8/6/23. The hotel should disclose when the POOL is CLOSED!! It is August & 100 degrees out. Room was dirty. Floor sticky , wouldn’t walk without shoes. Hotel is under construction so they’re hopefully updating & improving. There is a washer & dryer here (1 of each) Washer takes $2.00 in quarters , dryer free.

I have stayed at this hotel on more than one occasion and I choose it above all because the staff are so helpful, friendly and cooperative, my only complaint is that it gets a lot of sun through the bedrooms windows in the morning, it needs thicker curtains, something else I would like to say is that it is very clean, there are no unpleasant odors, and very safe, I would stay again even if I woke up at 6:30 am due to the sun coming in through the bedroom window

Not worth the money
I stayed at an Even hotel a few weeks prior for a very similar price and the two hotels don’t compare. Even was better in every way. For example, Even had amenities like different fruity types of free, ice cold water in the lobby. Holiday Inn Express had $2 bottles of water. HIE didn’t have usb ports in the room, which would seem like a normal amenity these days. When we arrived at HIE, the parking lot was completely empty (and it never got busy at all during our stay). We asked for a larger room and the indifferent front desk clerk said there was nothing available. Another front desk clerk spent most of his time in the parking lot on his cell phone. Another seemed to be driving down the road. We saw on two occasions that he’d come flying back up to the hotel in his car when guests were at the front desk and he’d run in to assist. Seemed weird. We were traveling with kids so we stayed here for the free breakfast but it was pretty awful. My son poured an in-date milk into his cereal and it was curdled. Breads and pastries were stale. Eggs were very runny. Also, the pool looked like it had never been cleaned. I had to scoop out all the leaves and trash. When we checked out the clerk seemed miserable and wasn’t pleasant. The only thing that was a positive was the cleaning staff. They did a good job.

The hotel was clean, staff were nice and getting around the hotel was easy. Breakfast was good. We were visiting family nearby so we didn’t spend that much time at the hotel besides sleeping. Only issue was when we came back to the hotel at night there was always people hanging out in the parking lot that didn’t seem like they were guests. Just made it a bit uncomfortable when arriving back to hotel. No major issue though. Overall it was a good stay.
