Hotel could benefit from some upgrades, but we would likely return.
Pros:

Location was perfect for the event we were attending. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean.

Cons:

The bathrooms could use an upgrade. Guest would benefit from having more counter space. It was hard to maneuver getting dressed and showering as there was little counter space. Also, the water pressure from the sink faucet. I understand wanting to prevent overflowing the sink, but the water barely comes out. Made it hard to even wash our hands.

Great for a quick 1 night stay but not for the price. Don’t expect any extras unless you wanna pay more.
Pros:

The property was in a good location. Great for our 1 night stay.

Cons:

Online it said partial ocean view. Barely a view. But definitely not worth the extra I paid for a partial ocean view.
There was no WiFi. You had to become a rewards member and that was hoops to jump through to get WiFi which I didn’t even get WiFi. No tv channels unless you signed in on a platform. Definitely not worth the over $300 for 1 night I paid for. Not much of a variety for breakfast either.
It was good for 1 night just to get some sleep and move on. Would not stay or recommend to stay more than 1 night. I booked this online and when we got there the front desk said it was $5 for parking & $50 deposit for the room that is refunded but nothing online said any of that. Never had I ever had to pay a refundable extra deposit when I already submitted my card for the room. That should have all been explained upfront. Parking should not be a charge for guest.

They told us just rebook on our dime..No thank you..I won't go to another IHG hotel ever..They saud if we had asked for a manager we would have been fine..Front desk did not tell us that or to reschedule our dats. AGAIN, front desk said we were fine..

Pros:

Our room was clean. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.

Cons:

Our room - 108 - was right in between two main entrance doors. We could hear EVERYTHING. Drunk people coming in at 2AM. Every conversation had in the hallway. People coming and going to breakfast all morning. EVERYTHING. Parking was tough. If you aren't there early, you won't get a spot in the main lot. They do have an overflow lot which isn't far at all... but the spots are for TINY cars. If you drive a large SUV or Truck your SOL.
