This hotel, while decent, in the grand rankings of IHG properties, definitely falls into the "Holiday Inn" category, not anything in the quality of a "Crowne Plaza". While some/most of the rooms have been renovated/refreshed, there are still fundamental issues with plumbing that will take more than just a refresh to fix. More like ripping out and replacing.The hotel buffet breakfast is fairly blah, after a while one gets tired of seeing the same things over and over and over again, there's no variety. For location, the property is right on the beachline with excellent beach access, and has great ocean views. The bar has live music some nights, and while the music is very loudly heard in the rooms all throughout the property, they usually shut it down by 9pm so one can generally get to sleep without issues. Finally, the hotel internet access royally bites. Just ran a speedtest, getting 1.9Mbps download, 0.06Mbps upload. Yeah, big fail there. As this is a preferred property of one of my employers, I have to stay here in spite of these failings. Whee.
