Holiday Inn Express & Suites Clearwater North/Dunedin

While in Dunedin, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. This hotel is family owned and had the very best included breakfast of any hotel where we have ever stayed. Our room was just fine and we found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Recommended.

My wife Jane and I have stayed here for the past week. We were so impressed with : 1) the culture of this organization as exhibited by the friendly, caring professional services by each and every staff person. Sarah and the balance of front desk staff are so welcoming and supportive of the guests. They are ' can do ' kinds of people. Nothing seemed too big of an ' ask ' . 2) the housekeeping staff are so gracious and are happy to work around schedules and the needs of the hotel guests, if at all possible. 3) We were most impressed by not only the quality and variety of the breakfast choices which, by the way, rotated daily. Most of all, both Penny and Angela make you feel that they are preparing, cooking and serving you in their own personal homes. Suffice it to say, we are returning next year. From top to bottom, our expectations were exceeded due to this long standing culture. Those working there understand the concept and added value of delivering friendly, professional care to all their guests !!! John & Jane b.

We just returned from a trip to the Clearwater area. The first two nights we stayed at the Holiday Inn in Dunedin. Of all my years of travel, this hotel provided the best customer service experience of ANY hotel we've ever stayed at. Everyone we talked with was kind, friendly, and willing to help. Many times when you go to a hotel, you can feel the stress of the staff, and/or it can feel like you are inconveniencing them as customer service seems to be a thing of the past at many establishments. This hotel was different. Not one staff member just walked by without a smile and a hello. They offer a free breakfast and there was a lady there with a single colored braid and a smile willing to get drinks or other items from the breakfast buffet. The only downsides of this hotel are that the pool is smaller and it's not ocean side (can't see the ocean from the hotel). However, their customer service is above and beyond, and worth the stay. It's a great location where you can walk to the quaint little town of Dunedin. We will stay here again.

Overall place is extremely dated and pool/hot tub area not functioning.When inquiring about no apologies were given. Room appearance is cold and stark Furniture is old and mismatched Bedding worn & flimsy.A thin cotton blanket is provided.When asked for another it took two days to bring another blanket Bathroom is straight out of a dated roadside motel. Window coverage consist of plantation blinds only .The blinds are not capable of shutting out the parking lot lights at night.Our first floor room consisted of bedroom area and a a dressing area and entrance into the bathroom separated by a wall. The dressing/ bathroom area consistently had a low grade smell of raw sewage. Through the nite the kitcnette sink gurgled and belched. The patio area immediately in front of our room on the parking lot was lacking landscape .We stepped off our patio into nothing but dirt and exposed irrigation tubing(tripping hazard?)

As Diamond Elite members, we stay at many hotels across the country. With a great location in a quiet area convenient to many attractions, this is one of our favorite hotels in the Tampa Bay area. The traditional furniture and beach decor on the walls and in the lobby add to our relaxation. The rooms are comfortable with nice hot water in the shower. The best thing about this hotel is the wonderful employees; everyone we encountered was super nice and sincerely interested in helping us have a pleasant stay. The breakfast attendants were especially personable and attentive as they offered a wide variety of food. The friendly front desk employees interacted well and told us about the local events in the quaint area surrounding the hotel. We enjoyed walking to several charming local restaurants and stores that are all locally owned and not chains. We also enjoyed walking on the bike/walking trail next to the hotel and discovering a public pier on the Gulf at a local park on the trail. Since a family member lives 10 minutes away, we will definitely be back often!

This was a great stay. The room was clean, the hotel staff were very nice and the location was great. We were extremely impressed with how comfortable the bed was for us. We loved that they had Dove bath products. Nice restaurants, stores etc right by the hotel was a good bonus. If you want a great place to stay in this area, this is it.

A lovely hotel in a great location for visiting Dunedin. It is an easy walk to the waterfront and to restaurants downtown. Staff are friendly and the hotel is very clean. The complimentary breakfast is good and staffed with friendly and welcoming servers. We have stayed here twice and it seems to be a very well-managed hotel. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

We were here one other time years ago (before we had a Tripadvisor account). The hotel is easy to locate (at the corner of two of the biggest roads in town. There is very easy access to a walking/biking trail. The staff were friendly while greeting us. The room was the standard size with many of the standard amenities (it had a fridge but lacked a microwave oven). Although not bad, the meeting room was a little small and a little lacking in comfortable seating. The complementary hot breakfast was very good...the employee assigned to it who assisted the guests was the friendliest employee we encountered. The Fitness Center was a little cramped...only 3 exercise machines and no weights that I could find. I heard good things about the swimming pool and hot tub from others, but I didn't try either of them out. Overall a good experience

Hotel is in a great location right next to bike trail and a short walk to restaurants and the historic center . Hotel was clean and breakfast was excellent. Breakfast attendant was exceptionally attentive and did a great job of making us feel welcome. Room was made up very well and the room attendant was very nice. The only negative thing I can say is that the pool was WAY to warm. I think they say it is heated but it might just be that warm because the weather was HOT. But if they have the heater on they need to turn it off. It was not refreshing. Must have been 95 degrees. But all in all it was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. I would recommend requesting a room in the back of the hotel.
