Place needs deep cleaning and repair. Mold smell in hallway that is unbearable. Rooms need deep cleaning. Under nightstand and on rear wall baseboard it hadn’t been cleaned in months. Tub had been repaired and was missing pieces. Terrible stay. Staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. Made you feel they were doing you a favor. Only thing it has is great location for the beach.

On the property its self its great.. but after leaving and getting home we realized that someone had gone thru our stuff. My son had some shoes that never left his bag the whole time we wore there and they came out missing and my wife had some money in her bag ($400 in a zipped bag attached to the inside of her bag) and it did not make it home.. we contacted the manager about this and she just told us that they are not responsible for any theft. When it was in the room locked and only her staff were the only ones that went inside.. after reporting the stolen items they called saying that they found the shoes that wore in the bag the whole trip and i had to pay $45 if i wanted them delivered.. soo if the shoes came up.. obviously that verified that they did go through our bags. (Because his shoes wore never take out of his bag the whole trip and they were inside a zipped pouch inside his bag as well. there was no way they could have fallen out) . but nothing was sed about the missing money. Its sad that they would have people working there that could do such a thing. People go to hotels to have their stuff and themselves feel safe.. not be wondering if they will have their things stolen when they go to clean the rooms

The price was affordable and the staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly.

Nice hotel although it’s not actually beachfront nor do they have room service as both were advertised. You have to walk across a street to reach the beach. Amazing views.

Musty smell

Despite declaring a smoke free property it was apparent my room had been smoked in. I called the front desk and was told I would not be charged the daily fee amenities. Great staff as there were no other rooms available. The pool was somewhat under construction as in one corner was unavailable of a small hotel pool. The amenities fee paid for free. coffee 24/7, free beach/pool towels and frito lay type snacks around 5pm. Overall a positive stay.

Great location. Great views. Walking distance to St Armand’s Circle and the beach.

My experience here at the Holiday Inn Lido Beach was over the top. From the staff at the front desk to the staff cleaning our rooms. Everyone says hello, good morning, good evening, or enjoy your time. I have stayed in a lot of places and I have never been treated as I was here. I told the girls at the front desk when I checked out that their personalities made our stay welcoming and amazing. We will defiantly be back and I tell everyone what a wonderful place this is to stay.

This hotel is very outdated. You are paying for ocean front across the street! I would not stay here again for the price I paid per night.

Rooms need a bit of a facelift. Showers have mold in caulking. Rust on door frames and vent covers. Carpets wrinkled and some furnishings chipped and worn. Bed and bedding was fabulous.

The location is great. Great views of beach and ocean. Close to shopping and restaurants. The restaurant on floor seven has a great view. Too bad it is only open for breakfast. Rooms are clean but have many items that need attention. Such as patio door handle, bath room hooks and phone system. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Hopefully they can get the restaurant on seventh floor open for dinner and work on the maintenance

Needed upgrading.

The location and the beach

Convenient to beach and walking distance to food and shopping

The facility was clean and adequate. The restaurant was only open for take out because of covid bs. The staff is why we enjoyed our stay. Every single one of them were super professional (desk, house keeping, restaurant, bar) and friendly. Best staff I've encountered in a very long time...and I travel a lot.

Our view was amazing and the staff was very polite and helpful

Incredible view of the Gulf and so close to beach and St Armand's Circle...Location is the best asset!
