This hotel was nice and clean. Front desk staff was also nice but they offered no real solution for my questions. First was the printer in the business center did not work. I needed to print boarding passes they told me they were aware and thought it was fixed.
So that was that. Also they advertise heated outdoor pool, not so when i asked about it they passed the buck onto the boss that was not in so they told me it was off because of him. Staff in breakfast room was far from pleasant.

for 3 nights. The hotel is set back from the road but request a room away from the street as noise can be irritating early in the morning. Clean rooms. Breakfast functional. Staff friendly. Would stay here again.

I stayed here on a Priority free night, but had made a day-off mistake on the reservation. Fortunately, the manager approved the change and was very nice about it. I enjoyed the hotel and a nice visit in the historic district of Bartow.

The Bartow Holiday Inn Express is situated in Central Florida, around one-hour south of Orlando, and for me was the perfect mid-way rest location on our recent trip to Florida. We arrived very late (around midnight), so the hotel was quiet. Even so, the reception staff were attentive and helpful, and had ensured we were given a room specific to our requests made at the time of our booking - which was a very nice surprise!

The hotel appears to be relatively new, the rooms are clean and well-appointed, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a large car park, so no parking worries, and is just off the main street (and easy to find). We only had breakfast - which was a buffet-type - but the food was good, and there was plenty of coffee.

Overall, a very enjoyable experience, even though our stay was short. We will definitely stay there again.
