    Here’s a polished Google review that hits all the points clearly and professionally, while still being honest: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ The Holiday Inn Manahawkin is a very nice hotel, and the fact that it’s connected to an awesome arcade, restaurant, and go-kart track is a huge bonus for families. The rooms were clean and updated, and the location is great. However, I did have two issues. When I called the front desk to ask about adding breakfast, the staff redirected me to Expedia—only for Expedia to tell me that the hotel doesn’t offer breakfast at all. I could’ve avoided sitting on hold if the front desk had just told me that from the beginning. Also, the hot tub wasn’t working during our stay, which was a disappointment since it was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel. Overall, it’s a nice place with fun amenities attached, but there were a couple of things that definitely could have been handled better.

    Kaitlin was very helpful and professional in arranging a room block for my daughter's wedding. She helped coordinate shuttle service to the venue which was off site. The rooms were nice and guests enjoyed being able to gather around the fire pits when they returned to the hotel.

    Our key card literally gave us a hard time getting into our room multiple times. They said they fixed it. But still gave us a hard time. We have two kids and was really tough to go back and forth trying to get it fixed. We talked to the front desk, it didn’t get resolved. We never had key card issues in any other place. We only stayed one night, but probably will not stay here in the future.
