Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the exceptional staff and the great breakfast options available at the hotel. However, many reviews pointed out the misleading location, as it is not close to the beach as advertised, and the amenities such as the pool and gym were not well-maintained. Overall, while the cleanliness of the rooms was praised, the hotel fell short in certain areas, particularly in service quality and accessibility.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciated that the hotel was close to the freeway for easy access, yet it was quiet with no freeway noise. Complimentary breakfast was served every morning with many options. We’ll definitely be back!

Pros (+) I loved the free breakfast - so many tasty options! I also loved that the bath products are Bath & Body Works. The whole place was very clean and quiet; I really loved staying there.
Cons (-) There isn't a ton of lighting in the bathroom, so it's a little dark while showering. It's not a problem at all but that's my one minor complaint about the room.

Pros (+) Had a two week extended stay, staff at hotel were amazingly friendly and helpful, especially front desk staff and breakfast room staff. Breakfast buffet was ample and plentiful.... Wifi connection was excellent and there was the added bonus of a laundry room... Highly recommend a stay if holidaying in the area. Would recommend a car to move about.

Pros (+) The room was very comfortable and clean. Nice breakfast.
Cons (-) We forgot some shoes in the closet on a Thursday. I called the next day to ask if they had been found and they said they did not have them. We had to go that way on Friday and stopped in to ask again. Front desk clerk remembered my call and claimed they were still missing. We asked to talk to housekeeping and she found the shoes for us. Don't give up after one call if you forget something. Also, w...

William, May 2016
Pros (+) From check-in to check-out this Holiday Inn exceeded my expectations of what I would expect in a hotel. Guri (excuse the misspelling) at the front desk made my check in process and my stay a 5 star experience. Ian on the Night Audit made the evenings and early mornings exceptionally outstanding and comforting. I will always look recommend and stay at this location after this experience. Thank you ...
Cons (-) The location is a bit strange and off the map. But once located, it is easy to find. One recommendation I would make is to communicate when guests have a late checkout. On several occasions I had a 2pm checkout which was approved and verified with management but yet the house keepers walked in at 11:00-1:00pm. Communication is key in situations such as these.
