Overall we’d stay here again! Property was located very conveniently near beach ands all shopping. Staff was great! We were traveling with a pet and we were concerned the rooms would show it. Our first room had visible stains and a very noticeable dog odor (as well as one of the beds looked like it flipped off the rails at the bottom). Front desk staff was very happy to put us in a different room- which even though it was still on the first floor (their pet friendly rooms) it had no pet odor and was clean. Their staircase the first day we came had crumbs and food on it but it was cleaned up and swept within a day. Their housekeeping walked around in the mornings offering extra towels or supplies for rooms- which was impressive ! Breakfast was okay, they ran out quick but had enough to grab at least something.

Not up to standards

The hotel was difficult to find in the dark. So beter lighting would help. The bed was old, stiff and lumpy. No hot water for my shower, just warm at best. It seems IHG standards have slipped a lot.
