Das Hotel bietet alles, was man braucht, zu einem günstigen Preis.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war gut, leider wie so oft bei Holiday Inn Express in den USA mit Plastikbesteck und -Bechern. Herausragend für uns waren die Pancakes, die man selbst mit einer Maschine frisch herstellen kann. Super für Familien! Das Zimmer war sehr schön, nach Hinten raus, mit zwei Doppelbetten und einem Blick auf das Meer!

Cons:

Die Lage hätte besser sein können, da es schwierig ist von dort aus zu Fuß ins Zentrum zu laufen. Das hat nichts mit der Entfernung, sondern mit dem Mangel an Gehwegen zu tun (nicht ungewöhnlich für die USA). Die Nähe zum Highway war akustisch kein Problem aber aus der Perspektive der Fußgänger nicht günstig. Wir hatten zwar ein Auto dabei, hatten aber den Wunsch, zu Fuß zum Abendessen zu laufen.

Disappointing stay.
Pros:

Convenient location, breakfast the first day was nice

Cons:

Pool wasn’t open. Saw nothing on the website about that. Day 2 and 3 oven was not working, so breakfast very limited.

The people staying on the floor above us were making all sorts of noise as if they were stomping on the floor 5:00AM in
Cons:

I paid an additional fee for a ocean view, but it turns out that Holiday inn express doesn’t have an ocean view. The front desk attendant told me that I need to talk with Booking.com to get a refund on the additional charge.

I enjoy my stay at this location, aside from check in, everything else was good.
Pros:

I liked the room, the breakfast, especially the coffee machine in Lobby area.

Cons:

I didn’t like that I arrived a few minutes early and was waiting for check in time for my cards, but instead of calling me over, they just took everyone ahead of me.
