To be fair here the service and staff are very good and the bar is fun - and obviously the location is very good being beachfront. That said, for my taste the rooms and hallways are in need of updating and repairs. I stayed here many years ago when the property was newer and quite nice - but it really needs some renovations I feel to be at the standard of most other Holiday Inn properties I've stayed in - which I don't expect to be fancy but are usually not so dated. But on the positive side the rooms are very clean (and no peeling paint or major issues like that) and the efficiency feature in the rooms is nice, especially if you are staying longer. It was winter when I stayed and I got a fairly decent rate for a couple of nights on a girls weekend - so I was fine with the place overall, but I wouldn't vacation here. On another the positive note the lobby is nice and quite up to date - and all of the staff (including housekeeping) were extremely nice and friendly which I really appreciated. Also, we all really enjoyed the bar area and it was really hopping both nights, as was the restaurant - i think it may also be popular with locals but the hotel was also sold out the weekend we were there even though it was winter - probably bc it was Veteran's Day weekend. We ate dinner one night in the bar/restaurant and the food was quite good as was our waitress. To be fair, if you just want a clean place to stay in a good location with a decent bar and restaurant (and pools) you will probably be just fine with this hotel. And if I had another girls weekend in the dead of winter (and could get a good rate) I would stay here again. It is just not a place I would vacation unless they made the rooms a bit nicer by renovating - and I would think Holiday Inn could afford to renovate the rooms since the place is so popular (given the location). So those are the pros and cons - and overall I did enjoy my stay - just did not quite meet my personal expectations.
I had a great experience all together!
Very nice hotel, very friendly staff. Amazing location. The layout of the back area/pool area is absolutely amazing. Rooms are clean, kitchen area is perfect.
Hotel was just odd. It's an older style hotel that's been renovated a bunch. Odd hallways and low ceilings in some parts. Room was fairly clean although there was a random hair left on the toilet seat.
Attended a holiday party. The conference room was very roomy and pleasant. The bar staff was super friendly.
Cons - the hallway on the first floor smelled like a wet dog (but the room smelled absolutely fine), and the indoor pool's floor was just gross, it needed to be scrubbed really well, and the child's wading pool was "closed by the health department".
I've had several morning meetings there and the breakfast provided is something to be desired. The "eggs" are a substance that while provides the appearance of eggs they seem to have forgotten the flavor. The sausage and fruit are ok. The meeting space is a little dated and oddly enough really close to the pool which adds to the moisture in the space.
The main lobby is rather nice and the restaurant is of decent quality.
