So when I book a hotel stay I expect that what is advertised as the price is the price I pay. When I arrived they charged me a parking fee and a convenience fee. It was my understanding that all fees and parking was included. Also the staff made me feel stupid when I called down to ask how to use the room safe as there were no instructions placard on or near the safe. There were also no chairs on our outside patio that faced the ocean as I noticed were included on the patios for the upper floors.

Was not happy staying at the Holiday Inn. The lobby was the only thing that looked like a reputable hotel. I decided to spend the extra money to have a comfortable stay but that wasn’t the case. The rooms, hallways, and the site in general was not worth the money. They charge extra to use their pool and park your car. They will nickel and dime you at every turn.

I was extremely frustrated with the unhelpfulness of the staff when my reservation was incorrectly booked. They told me to step away, saying it would take a while to fix, which was unacceptable. It took me just 10 minutes to cancel and rebook over the phone. Their lack of support caused me significant stress, ultimately leading me to leave in the middle of the night due to anxiety. I didn’t get to enjoy the pool at all, which is very disappointing.

Hotel staff and cleanliness

The young guy that checked me in and out was very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. All front desk agents were nice and welcoming! The hotel itself was clean and decent.
