Staff were great but room was musky seems it has a smell. The hotel is old and needs some major upgrades. I've been to quite a few Holiday Inn's and must say this is probably the most run-down.

Clean room, towels by the pool that also has 2 hot tubs! Walk to the cross walk to get to the beach is about 5 mins which is worth it since it’s safer than just crossing the road. The area of the beach it’s around is more quiet and less busy so it was perfect for us. Kroger and Walmart down the street also restaurants in walking distance. Amazing staff very friendly and the breakfast crew was amazing! I loved this hotel
