- SBSuzy Burhans5 days ago5.0This Holiday Inn was such a fantastic place to stay in our vacation. We were greeted by Todd and given good info about the area. While staying we enjoyed the breakfast buffet and met a delightful waitress named, Rush. She was SO friendly and kind and attentive. We were helped by Gina at the front desk throughout our stay and she was a joy to deal with. All in all this was my favorite hotel stay. We will be back!
- KMKarla MNov 17, 20253.0I prefer the Hilton next door. But the pool area, bar, restaurant are really great! The room could have been cleaner and better! Had the King with bunk beds and ocean view. You hear every door close and bang, the ladder on the bunk beds was white bit grey from needing to be cleaned, the TV where the bunk beds were had to "warm up" before it came on, you had to hold the toilet handle to flush it and the closet door felt stuck each time you try to open it almost like the hinges had been painted over.
- JRJenn RiveraNov 15, 20255.0If you want a nice hotel right on the beach, this is it. We’ve had a wonderful stay…nice rooms, a perfect view, great food and drinks.
