The previous reviewer obviously has this inn confused with another one.
This is no where near the stadium --- not within walking distance at all.
This is a lovely Holiday Inn on the water near the airport. We found it
to be excellent in every way when we stayed there. The parking lot is fine, well-lit and near other hotels and nice restaurants. In fact, we stay there because you can leave your car there for free when you are flying out of Tampa. They have a shuttle to take you to the airport and pick you up. We felt fine leaving our car there, and plan to stay at this hotel every time we fly out of Tampa.
