    I want to give a huge shoutout to Shelley at the Holiday Inn for her incredible customer service! I had booked my stay through a third-party site(priceline.com), and the dates got completely messed up. The third-party company was giving me a hard time and wanted me to rebook at a much higher rate before even considering a refund. Thankfully, Shelley stepped in and went above and beyond to help. She fixed the dates on her end, made sure I had a room right away, and saved me from paying an inflated last-minute price. Her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help truly made a stressful situation so much easier. Thank you, Shelley — you turned what could’ve been a nightmare into a great experience!

    My husband had booked a room at this hotel - through Booking.com - so that we could be away from the ocean front hustle and bustle. When we arrived, a surly front desk clerk informed us that we had no reservation. Even after my husband gave him our reservation number, he still could not find it. He never tried a bit more to be helpful to us. I immediately booked a room at another, ocean front Holiday Inn property - through Expedia, this time, and we walked away. As we were exiting the hotel, the manager came running after us, saying that our reservation had been found - under my name (I never made this reservation, and my last name is different from my husband’s.) We told him that we were leaving anyway, because the front desk clerk had been rude to us, and we had already found a room elsewhere. We are now seeking a refund from Booking.com. And, by the way, our experience at the ocean front Holiday Inn was wonderful.

    In general, we have stayed at other Holiday Inn Express hotels and this was not exactly the top of the line. Our room was very disappointing. Old worn out furnishings and carpet. It felt very dirty and unkept. Very high beds which we don’t understand why. The shower curtain in the bath was cheap and the chrome bath fixtures and lamps kwere all old and pitted. TV picture kept fading from “warm to cold” and the channel surfing was very odd and difficult to use. The Staff seemed to ok but not the cream of the crop. The breakfast was pretty good. My suggestion, look for another hotel in the area that is cleaner and less run down. This place is severely struggling.
