- ANAlabama NelsonOct 25, 20253.0I stayed 3 nights and unfortunately was a bit under the weather. My room had a single king, the bed had a sunken in area. The hotel is a bit worn and could use some professional updating. I thought the service was great. The gentleman that works in the afternoon was great. The breakfast on great and on par for a Holiday Inn Express. The location is away from the main beach strip but located on a road with plenty of amenities.
