Stayed here in March 2012. Our room had a nice balcony overlooking the pool and the water BUT that came with a noisy price. There was a bar near the lobby with a band playing until late at night and the noise could be heard clearly from our room which was on an upper floor making it hard to sleep.... More

I stayed here for a conference for two nights. We had a special rate of $99 because of the conference. If I had spent a penny more I would've been unhappy. Our beds were comfy enough and our room was generally clean. The carpet was stained and old, and the balcony rail was loose. I can tell there was an... More

The hotel looks quite dated, although the interior has been remodeled. Cannot beat the location as it is right on the beach next to the sea wall. The room has a 32 inch flat screen TV but every channel is analog and blurry. The biggest thing I cannot stand is the slow wireless internet. Buyers beware.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn during Spring break. It was rainy and overcast. Upon arriving to our room, we found it very clean and very bice. The space was limited, especially when you have two small kids running around, HOWEVER, we enjoyed the private balcony that overlooked the Ocean (kids were estatic about that, to say the least) and...

It was Easter weekend which i guess was why with taxes our room was $320. It wasn't anything special, although we did have a balcony facing the beach. When i went for breakfast in the morning I asked the price of the buffet and was told $11.99, not bad I thought, but by the time they added a coffee and... More

I booked this hotel through an online bid and was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality. The rooms looked to be fully updated with new furnishings, bedding, and carpet. I liked how the pillows were tagged as "firm" or "soft." The room is equipped with both a microwave a small fridge, which were surprisingly quiet. While the room does have... More

The hotel was generally clean and the staff almost stumbled over themselves to help. Every cleaning person and mechanic went out of their way to say hi and smile. Each room had a veranda with a couple of chairs overlooking the ocean... the only problem was that for most rooms (including ours) that meant you were right over the lobby... More
