We love this hotel
We have stayed here a number of times before, and continue to be very pleased with the hotel. Everything is in tip top shape, and the beds are super comfortable. One of the things that keeps us coming back is the outstanding breakfast that is served — lots of options with the best staff!

The electricity was out for 5 hours after arrival. Not their fault but it made our stay more difficult. The staff was very supportive giving us a battery lamp and a room which in spite of the lack of electricity was comfortable. Restaurants, stores and gas stations were all closed so after a 9 hour trip the situation was difficult.

Stunning hotel in the absolute best location.
Hotel is stunning. Staff was super helpful and kind. Pool area got hammered. Nobody picked up the glassware and wet towels on the ground of the pool area. We stayed in an oceanfront room before, and I believe I slept great. We stayed in a standard double queen room and the beds seemed kinda hard and springy. Overall a great stay.

I ordered a room with a king bed. When I ordered the room it stated “pet friendly “. We have a “well behaved” dog. They changed our room because they said it “was not pet friendly. I’m 74 years old! Still working EMR. The room they gave us had a chair which felt like I was sitting in a hole. It , was worn out with little or no stuffing in the couch. Very uncomfortable. Staff was not friendly!! The room was clean, but I was there to regenerate and for the comfort! The comfort wasn’t there!

Decent One Night Stay at the Holiday Inn Express
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel for the most part, but there were 58 college visiting teenagers staying there on the one night we were there, which made things more rambunctious. I also feel the hotel should provide bar soap in the bathrooms instead of just liquid soap. That said, the breakfast was great, and the hotel staff were superb.

Good value, good fitness center.
Clean, attractive hotel within walking distance of many restaurants, good breakfast bar. A fitness center is very important to me when travelling, and they have a decent one for a mid-sized hotel.
