Enjoyed one week stay with my family. Walking distance to Gateway mall. Very nice view of the ocean from the hotel.
This is not a panoramic-all-ocean-view hotel. You either get a nice view or no view at all. The problem with booking in advance is that if they don't have any ocean view rooms, you will waste you time looking at a parking lot and street for the same price as the folks across the hall with beautiful ocean view. If you book online with Orbtz, like I did, you will have no choice but to get the room they give you. If you only make a reservation with no money down, if they try to give you a parking lot view, you can walk away from your reservation, pay an extra $5 and get a room near or on the ocean. Even in the off season, the ocean view rooms apparently get filled up quickly. They will give away their remaining rooms only to Holiday Inn club card members, which I had. If I didn't have that, they would have put me and my wife on the WRONG side of the building for a very unromantic get-away without the ability to get a refund.
