Great stay! Great location!

The staff was amazing! I was very surprised how their renovation was dine. They did sn excellent job. The room was massive and the location is quite. For a Holiday Inn, this stay was amazing. The hotel is close to everything and the local beaches were a walk away. I highly recommend this hotel. I would definitely return. Thank you staff!

Nice, comfy hotel

The hotel was really nice. The location couldn't have been any better. The only reason for the good ratings instead of excellent was the hotel is a little older and shows a little wear. I would stay there again.

Had a great stay. Love when breakfast is included but would like to suggest a higher quality pancake mix & oatmeal. And, it was way too hot in the breakfast room. Thankfully, the staff opened a door after we asked. Why no A/C in there or the hallways?
