The people that work here are very pleasant and friendly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was definitely not the star of the show but that’s ok. Our only complaint is that the people on the floor above us sucked at life and were making a lot of noise till nearly midnight and we had to address this both nights they were there.

I was particularly disappointed with the location of the hotel. The advertisement suggested that the hotel was situated right next to the ocean on the boardwalk. However, upon arrival, I found that it was not where I had anticipated, which was disappointing for both me and my children. I believe it would be beneficial for potential customers if there were clearer distinctions among the various Holiday Inn Express locations in the area. With three to four properties under the same brand, it can be confusing for guests when selecting accommodations. For the record the the hotel that we stayed was standard accommodation nothing that stood out or anything particular about the hotel itself.
