We only stayed for one night while visiting the aquarium but it was all we needed. Clean, safe and friendly staff. Happy to have had Dove toiletries in the room and working microwave and mini fridge. The rooms has ample lighting and outlets for charging.

Expected a MUCH better room for the money. The heat/air conditioning didn't work. Were told someone would come to check it. Nobody came so we switched rooms. Heat/air conditioning didn't work in second room either, beds made noise every time someone moved, towel hooks were broken off wall. Continental breakfast was decent, eating area was very nice. Front desk said a big renovation was in the future. I wouldn't stay there until after that has been done. Very disappointed. Not up to the standards I expected from Holiday Inn

2-night get away

It was a nice 2 night stay. A few things…elevator is quite slow; there are stains in the rug near the left side of the bed; we were on the pool side & can hear everything because of the gap under the door. However, the front desk clerk on 6/21 was very welcoming & pleasant & the two different ladies working the breakfast on Sat 6/22 & Sun 6/23 were on top of their game, ensuring everything was replenished in a timely manner. The biscuits & gravy was a delicious treat as well. Great team of workers, they are a plus to your organization.
