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This hotel is very outdated.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!
I liked Armand Circle and the beach. The hotel room looked outdated and expensive for what it is.
Everyone was super friendly and courteous. In our ever changing world, it was wonderful to see such hard workers. We had to wait for breakfast and other meals longer, because the staff was so short handed, but we didn’t mind because everyone was happy and helpful and all the guests were were great about everything too.
The room was not worth the price. The location, however, was. This hotel needs major updates. When we got to our room I noticed right away that the sheets were stained and needed to be changed. Because of Covid we were given the sheets and had to change them ourselves. I didn’t enjoy making the bed on my first kidless vacation! The floors and bathroom were unsightly. The shower was questionable at best. We had to take lukewarm showers one day and other guests complained about it too. Red Tide was in season so we used the pool and that was nice. Towels and water were included in the $25 per day fee. One thing I can say is that this hotel had superb customer service. The staff (especially Jayme) was on it with a smile at every request. We would have gone to another hotel if it wasn’t for the staff. Overall, I hated our room but loved our view. The amenities were meh but the customer service was too notch. I would not stay here again.
The location is amazing. You can literally just walk across the street to the beach or down the road to shopping and restaurants. The front desk people were very friendly. The room on the other hand was pretty gross. There was pizza and trash left in the room, dresser drawers were dirty, and the shower/tub was really old and moldy.
Great gem on Lido Beach
I liked that it was in front of the beach
