Danger
Very disappointed with this stay- the construction was outright dangerous with not appropriate guardrails to protect our small children. We checked out a day early from our two day stay and they refused to give us our money back for the second night despite checking out well before 11 am- the hotel manager said that because we booked through hotels.com there was nothing they could do

Construction caused issues. It did not appear that much was getting done. We have stayed there before, & that is why we didnt mark them lower because we have faith that it will hopefully be better the next time. We stayed in room 433. The beds were so-so. No one slept well because they felt worn out, but the room looked nice. They were using the small a/c to cool the entire room which worked well for the common area, bur the bathroom had issues. The toilet didnt work right, the toilet paper holder and towel bars were broken loose, there was no a/c in the bathroom or exhaust fan, so it would get so hot in there when you closed the door that it would make us nauseous. The elevators and hallways had issues. One elevator was lit by battery opperated tap lights, and neither elevator had airflow, so you couldnt breathe in them. The pool was nice, & there was a movie on Tuesday night until almost 10 PM. The breakfast was good as it usually is. The microwave in our room made a noise like it was fixing to explode, so we were cautious when using it. They stocked Dove body products, and those were filled. They did provide a make-up washcloth which many do not. There were enough towels, and the pressure in the shower was okay. Overall, for the price point, we spent just over $400 for two nights on Monday and Tuesday night in July in a room that was within walking distance to Coligny Beach. We enoyed the trees, but with all of the construction it is a hassle if you are unfamiliar.

The Holiday Inn Express was undergoing construction. The construction area resulted in a fair number of parking spaces being unavailable. (After I reserved the hotel I did receive a notification from the hotel - via Expedia- that construction was taking place at the hotel.) One of the two elevators was not functioning on Saturday July, but I believe it was fixed after a few hours. The front desk staff were very friendly.

Worst experience of any hotel!
I've stayed at many of your Holiday Inn express suites in Bluffton, Beaufortand Charleston... they were all very clean and comfortable. The hotel at Hilton head on Tanglewood Dr, was the worst!!! When we arrived, the room keys did not open the door, we had to wait 30 minutes before someone finally opened the door, while standing in the hallway with our luggage and there was no luggage cart! There was only a half a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom! The carpet was soaking wet, probably from the AC. They moved us to another room, which people had been smoking in, the stench was intolerable! Then we were moved to a 3rd room and the AC wasn't working the first night and we woke up in a sweat! They had to change out the AC unit the next day! The exhaust fans in the bathrooms didn't really vent well in any of the rooms. Lastly, the front desk and the dining area were in a different building... not very convenient! Sonia, Carlos and Juan were very nice and did as much as they could given the circumstances! I have to say your hotel should be the crown jewel of your hotels!!! I will never stay in this Hilton Head Holiday Inn express ever again!!!

There were many things in the room that did not work - refrigerator, tv, and the bathtub would not drain. There was not a lot of parking for guests. The hotel is within walking distance to the public beach access. I would probably not stay at this hotel again.

The renovation going on limits the parking at the hotel which made it super hard and inconvenient to park! Also we got a room with a nonusable balcony. We were really looking forward to use our balcony but was unable to. Our view was a drywall from construction and trash.
