Kick back and relax in beautiful Tampa at the Holiday Inn Express Tampa Fairgrounds. We are home to the Florida State Fair, Spring Training Baseball, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Busch Gardens, and the Hard Rock Casino. Our features include a convenient business center, free wireless internet, pool, and fitness center. The hotel's central location makes us a great stopping off point for cruise passengers going out of the Port of Tampa, beach visitors, and corporate clients from businesses like Coca-Cola, Cummins, and Siemens.
