We had a great time. Too cool for the beach so the indoor pool was perfect for the littles. Breakfast was great as we have always come to expect from Holiday Inn Express. Sound of the ocean was the best sound to sleep to.
I had an ocean front room on the 4th floor. The view was astonishing. The room was adequate for 2 people. The shower and bathroom were good size and very clean as was the room. I would definitely stay there again.
Our room and stay felt like a great value. The room was updated, spacious, and comfortable. Beds and pillows comfy, shower and bathroom very clean, and the cabinet/counter/kitchen space was a nice surprise. You could probably stay here several days and not feel crowded and have all you need. Our room, 401, had a balcony and beach view which was a nice surprise! The parking was great (covered). What’s most important to me in hotels of this really affordable price range is cleanliness, then safety and comfort. This hit all of those!
The room was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. I would give this place almost 5 stars but the shower water was lukewarm which is unacceptable to me. I had it the faucet turned completely to max hot and it never changed so I think instead of it running out of hot water, that is just what the temp was set for. That alone makes it so I’ll never stay here again.
