We were given a room that had not been cleaned upon check in. Then was given another room with a really bad order that was intolerable. Although the staff brought in air fresheners it was still unable. The odor was from the air conditioning unit in the room. We couldn’t switch to another room until day two due to availability. The 3rd room was okay but the air conditioning unit still reeks bad order and the power button was also broken. There was no manager on duty, we asked to have a cart to be brought in the room which they never did bring one. When we asked they said there is no more available cart. After insisting them to go back to the old room we stayed to bring it, just then they brought it up. The whole experience was not comfortable. I Would not recommend it.

Our room did not allow the curtains to fully close and there was a light on the window so hard to go to sleep. The air conditioner was unplugged so we had to get the maintenance man to come up. We did not know that there was a switch under the plug to turn it on, how would we have. Dark colors not attractive furnishings - old. Never again

Love this hotel, have stayed here several times. Close to grocery stores & good restaurants and just a short drive to beach. Friendly staff and clean facility. Good breakfasts. Only suggestion is to deep clean, replace or remove carpets. Musty/dirty smell when you first enter room. Everything else is great!

Parking app is very cumbersome and time-consuming. Breakfast was HORRIBLE. Very low quality items, flavorless, tiny child-size ultra-cheap plasticware and thimble-size cups. It was a pathetic joke. I used to stay at Holiday Inn Express for their great breakfasts... never again.
