Over priced horrible experience

The hotel is run down. The staff was rude and unpleasant. I prepaid for breakfast for two even though I was alone. They still charged me an extra 15.00 plus gratuity. The elevator was not working and I had to walk down from the 7th floor for breakfast in the morning.

Great view, awful condition.

Hotel is totally worn out and broken. First impression upon arriving in lobby, is hmnn, one broken elevator, worn out furniture and drab. Room was even worse; furniture is worn and scratched and drawers were broke, carpet is thread bare and wrinkled. The doors were damaged, bathroom fan/light did not work, towels were stiff and scratchy and windows were filthy. Restaurant/bar was even worse. Dirty, worn and broke. In bathroom one toilet and one sink were out of service. We were on the 6th floor, so the conditions can not be attributed to the recent hurricane. Bar service was good, but breakfast was almost un edible and service was slow. We pre-paid for three days of breakfast and skipped the last day due to the awful food, and went next door to the Opal Sands for breakfast. The food was excellent in a beautiful setting for less money than our prepaid at the Holiday Inn! For $300/night (water view was great) Plus resort fees! Most outdoor facilities not available due to recent hurricane and also off season, there are many better options near by. The staff was very friendly and helpfull, too bad the facilities are in such disrepair.

I know there's a rebuilding post hurricanes so hopefully hotel and restaurant will be fully up and running in the future. Restaurant was a little underwhelming from what we were used to with less consistency in the food than we remember. But again post hurricanes we are hoping the future will be back to qhat remember or better.

It’s still a construction zone (hotel and area) from the hurricanes so not everything is working. There is only one elevator for each area and they are extremely slow. The couches in the rooms need replaced. We ended up taking the mattress for the pull out bed and putting it on the floor as we needed the extra sleeping space. The staff was super friendly and helped with anything that was needed. The pool and restaurant are open again so that was good for our group. The a/c worked really well in the bedroom side, but not as well in the living room side.
