- CWChan (我的世界 - My world)2 days ago3.0Only thing I will point out, they don’t provide coffee in the morning. They can sell you one for $5. Basic essential imo, especially major chains like holiday inn.
- GPGris PelayoNov 1, 20255.0The staff was amazing 👏 thank you!!!!
- TLTim “Beave” LiderOct 13, 20254.0The room was nice. The AC was loud though. The Breakfast was decent, basically better than most breakfasts from Hotels.
- TWTom WeberOct 7, 20255.0This was a delightful surprise! The hotel staff were excellent & helpful, hotel & room were clean and well-maintained; the breakfast which was free for Diamond members was very good, the parking was free & easy, and the location within walking distance of the beach & several restaurants can’t be beat!
- AFAwkward FishSep 27, 20254.0Free parking as of Sept. 2025. Nice staff. In perfect close proximity to the fun stuff. Not the staffs fault but the building itself must've been made before today's required STC ratings ( sound transmission class ) meaning it's noisy as heck // easy to hear through floors / walls. Breakfast is provided but not free just a heads up. Yeah it's a little out dated, could use a interior lift project (roughed up patchy carpet tile, old hair dryers, scuffed walls, looks like a soap dish broke off the shower, etc. this spots definitely been loved ). That aside the cleaning crew is obviously doing their job, AC works like a charm, rough up but not at all terrible, see overall taken photos, and again it's in great distance of stuff.
