- MMMorganNov 13, 20255.0I booked this hotel for one night using rewards points I'd earned, so it came at no monetary cost. However, after staying here, I definitely would have paid to stay in this location. I was pleasantly surprised at every turn; not sure why this place only has 3.8 stars. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was awesome. Room was very clean and well decorated, and the bathroom was large and modern-feeling. My wife and I only stayed here for one night, but we absolutely would have extended our stay if needed. A great option for a more affordable hotel in this area. The location itself isn't the best (mostly given the proximity to Walmart and other businesses) but the fact that it's so close to the beach totally makes up for it. I would definitely stay here again.

- TSTaiyo ShofnerOct 16, 20254.0Stayed here for one night and I enjoyed it, the fitness center could use more equipment but so far no negative thoughts
- RHRon HagueSep 12, 20253.0Hotel is in need of refreshment
- HSHazel SchifferleJul 22, 20251.0I barely know where to start. We tried to check in at 3:20, hoping our room would be ready early. It wasn’t but the front desk team member said she would call us when it was. Did she? Nope. When we arrived later with our full luggage cart, she says the elevator is temporarily out of service and points us to the stairs. I let her know this wasn’t the hotel stay I agreed to pay for and wanted to speak with a manager. She said she would have them contact me. Did they ever contact me? Nope. Luckily the elevator was fixed the next day but we found out the breakfast that was supposed to run until 9:30 only meant that the area would be open that long. The food ran out way before that two days in a row. Housekeeping? You have to request it the night before if you want it regardless of how many days you’re staying. Fun fact, there’s a giant wall open to the outside with some cinder blocks and a net covering it to keep out people? Raccoons? Idk what that net is supposed to do. Our last night there we pull up to find half the parking lot blocked off for some renovations the next 3 days. Did they reduce the number of guests/cars that would be staying there to go with this? Nope. In short, this was the worst IHG experience I’ve ever had and wouldn’t recommend anyone stay here.
