“Excellent oceanfront hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

We were here early in December for the "Holiday Lights at the Beach". We stayed 3 nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice and clean. All rooms are oceanfront. We had people in the next room on Sun. night and could hear them talking, so am wondering if it were during busy season, it could get noisy. The indoor pool was nice, hot tub was very HOT! Could only stay in it maybe 10 min or so. Breakfast was normal fare for Holiday Inn. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here for the time of year.

Thank you for staying with us, and thank you for the nice review. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. The Holiday light show is quite a spectacle, and I am glad that you came to see it.

I am sorry if the people next door disturbed you, feel free to call the front desk at any hotel and we will be glad to deal with the problem.

I hope that you will come back and stay with us again and thanks for your business.

“Outstanding!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

I stayed overnight with my son for a birthday. The staff, in particular, Meagan was extremely helpful and courteous. We had to change rooms and I'm used to this being a visible burden to other hotel staff, but she was very kind and was clear that she wanted to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. Her personal attention and kindness bring great credit to the hotel staff.
The view is incredible and the rooms are comfortable, clean, and very much worth the price. I'm looking forward to my next stay!

“A nice clean hotel with a great view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

I stayed here for 11 days in early December while in town on business. The staff was warm and friendly. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The view of the beach and ocean were fantastic. The location is walking distance to several good restaurants as well. The price was so reasonable. The only negative I could mention would be a better ironing board in the room. I would stay here again.

Thank you for staying with us for an extended visit. I am delighted that you enjoyed your time here on the beach. It is beautiful any time of year, and now we are not as crowded so the restaurants are ready to seat you right away.

I apologize for the ironing board, we will take care of that for the next guest, and I hope that you will come back and stay with us again.

Thank you for your business.

“The view doesn't get better, the hotel is OK”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

Really can't beat the location of the hotel. Right on the boardwalk with all rooms facing the ocean, the view is fantastic.It's also close to some restaurants and shopping (including a WalGreens). This is a no frills hotel. Plain lobby area that doubles as a breakfast area is about all there is besides the small pool/hot tub. The rooms are a good size and the beds are fine. The rooms have a fridge (it froze our sandwich) and a small coffee maker and a flat screen TV (with inputs for a game system or video camera). Wireless internet was poor. Streaming video was near impossible with the connection we had (even with excellent signal). During the summer (we were there in December) this will be a great place, although parking was difficult while we were there - I would expect it to be impossible in the summer. The free breakfast was good but the selection was limited. Expect a noisy AC/heat unit. The staff was friendly and for a decent rate, we would consider staying there in the summer.

Thank you for staying with us recently, and thank you for your kind review. It is an amazing view here, and every room has that same view, each with a private balcony. The sights and sounds of the ocean can be very soothing, and we enjoy watching dolphins near the shore almost every morning at sunrise. I will check out our internet service, normally it is satisfactory. I am sorry that you could not do the things that you wanted to

I hope that you will return soon, prices are great now, the area is not crowded and the beach is beautiful. Thank you again.

“AMAZING Ocean Views...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

We had 3 Oceanfront rooms for a family vacation over the Thanksgiving holidays... AMAZING views... direct oceanfront... even the 'breakfast room' has AMAZING oceanfront views, and a lovely outside dining deck that is oceanfront- for warmer weather dining!

They also had a nice pool/hot tub... I brought our youngest two daughters to the pool one evening, and they were delighted to have the ENTIRE pool to themselves!! :-)

They could punch up their breakfast during the week- but the weekend breafast was better, in our opinion! Maybe offer more 'healthy choices'... but if pancakes, biscuits and gravy, bagels, muffins, scrambled eggs, sausage/bacon sound like something your family could 'get by on' then THIS is YOUR kinda breakfast!! :-)

We got a GREAT deal on the rooms... pay in advance, and you'll pay about a THIRD of the going rate on arrival!! FABULOUS deal!!

We would stay here again-especially if we got the same amazing rate!! Great deal for oceanfront rooms, with two QUEEN size beds each! :-)

Room Tip: Buy in advance and SAVE BIG on rooms!!! We only paid about 1/3 of the going rate by doing this...
