- PWPeter WatsonDec 30, 20254.0Needed 2 rooms for one night. Ten minute walk to the Harbour where we plundered Jack's Crab Shack which made the best Margaritas I have ever had. Introduced Crab to Daughter who learned how to use nut Crackers and covered herself in sauce. She had never eaten Crab in Shell prior to this and won't again as she broke a fingernail and hurt her Thumb. This has nothing to do with the Holiday Inn BTW. The Rooms were clean if somewhat dated. The bathroom was spotless. The air conditioning worked very well and quietly. The staff were very courteous and we requested and got a late check out.
- JWJeanne WilliamsDec 13, 20255.0Easy to get to, clean rooms, friendly service. Convenient restaurant and also vending machine with frozen food choices.
- BRBig RoccoDec 7, 20255.0Parking is free but on a first come first serve basis, by the time we got to the hotel from the concert at Frontwave Arena there was absolutely no parking left.
- DHDeb HendricksonDec 2, 20254.0The hotel is dated but clean. The carpet in our room had a hole in it. The breakfasts were good but pricey. Jessica in restaurant area was outstanding! On Thanksgiving day there was no hot water so we couldn’t shower before going to our relative’s for the day. Location was easy to get to and parking was good. When checking out I asked for some compensation regarding lack of hot water on Thanksgiving. I was only offered breakfast vouchers, which we couldn’t use as we had to get on the road. They should have offered them Thanksgiving morning to people inconvenienced.
- NTNhu TrinhNov 27, 20251.0Receptionist is un professional. They made me feel like invisible man. I have to stand there waiting for 15 min while he chit chat with previous customer and still not check me in after they finish. No hot water. No breakfast
