“Best overall experience in a long time at a hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Really enjoyed great friendly happy staff, clean room, good pool and spa. I thought the place
was a year old at most. Turned out it was seven years old. Breakfast was good. Beach was
a little walk, but you could drive and park at the beach. Off season so hardly anyone around.

Room Tip: Construction on East side, didn't affect our room

“We really enjoyed our stay at this very nice Holiday Inn Express.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

The staff was very helpful with any question we had. The breakfast was very good and the lady working there was so nice. The room was clean and in good condition. No real complaints, but the walk to the beach was more like three blocks than the block and a half advertised. However, the walk was easy and you can drive right up to the beach in a few minutes if you are taking lots of stuff. Do be prepared to pay $12 for a parking permit for beach parking. The permit is good for the rest of the year, so if you go several times, as we did, it was well worth the money. If there isn't anyone selling them at the beach entrance area, the permits are available at any convenience store and one is located a few blocks from the hotel.

“Fantastic hotel and even better staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

We stayed at the hotel for our family vacation and found the rooms to be very clean and kept up very nicely. The staff was one of the nicest and attentive groups that we have met! The hotel is 1 block from the beach which is AWESOME and they have a great pool and hottub area. The morning breakfest was one of the better ones that we have found and the food was hot and fresh. Overall it was a fantastic stay and we look forward to going back to Port A

Thank you for everything to the staff at Holiday Inn Port A
