Pros:

Overall it was a good place to stay right across from the beach.

Cons:

The chairs on the balcony were to tight. Had to ask for clean towels. They didn’t empty trash had to ask them to.

Safe and comfortable is always the name of the game and they exceeded this.
Pros:

The original hotel we stayed in a drunk lady wanted to fight me for giving her a compliment. I came a long ways for my family and I not to be safe. We immediately changed changed our hotel to the Holiday Inn Express, upon entering the hotel, my family felt safe and welcomed. The room was great and beds were extremely comfortable. I loved the view on the Gulf and having a mirror strategically placed to where you can see the waves of the Gulf was an added perk.

Cons:

The elevator made a bit of a rattling noise.

So relaxing, can't wait till next time.
Pros:

Everyone from checking in to checking out was super friendly and very courteous. I go to this location every year.

Cons:

I don't care for their breakfast but then, I'm not a big breakfast person. So you can say there was nothing that I didn't like.

Don’t stay here with small kids / Family. This was the worse place I’ve stayed at with my family.
Pros:

Location was great plus view was awesome

Cons:

How muggy and hot it was, everywhere you turned you seen mold spots. Fabuloso was used to cover up the smell. Breakfast was awful but the coffee was great.
Our room didn’t have a shower curtain nor conditioner.

Plus…I had food delivered to the hotel and the front desk took it upon themselves to keep it since we received the wrong order. Which I think was unprofessional. They should have at least asked if we still wanted the food.

I just will never stay here again. It’s very disappointing. I would not recommend this place like I said it was $300 cha
Pros:

I did not like anything about the property. Unfortunately I’m very upset. I picked this location. It was old and outdated and over price. They charge me $300 for one night. Not worth. I could’ve gone to the St. Louis Blues for the same price for one night.

Cons:

It’s over price. Everything is outdated, not clean. That’s not comfortable the restroom. Full of mold ties were dirty.

Pros:

The view, & the lady handling the b'fast was very helpful & had nice crisp bacon & fluffy eggs even if powdered- can't say same for men who worked b'fast Thursday & Friday am

Cons:

The door closure to the balcony on 2nd floor room 202 is horrible & the door to the adjoining room is rusted out or chipped all the way across, from bottom up 3 or 4 inches. This Holiday inn definitely needs some updates.
