The sad part it doesn't have a pool, I called asking if we could use another holiday in pool and they had said we could use emerald s pool next door but when I got there to check in I asked again and they told me no we couldn't the only reason I didn't leave was I had already paid and wouldn't get reimbursed, so I will never stay there again

The rooms and interior were very clean and beds very comfortable. The only negative was the lack of a pool -you could use the adjacent hotel pool which was not as nice looking. Also the exterior facing the gulf was not dirty but not keep up. A little spucing (plants, paint, etc) would have made this property a 10+

We just stayed at this hotel for a quick getaway. In the bathroom, there was a pair of undies and a tampon under the sink. I told the front desk but it was cleaned out for the 3 days we were there. Sand all over the floor not swept out daily. It is convenient for beach access but I would not book here again.

Had by far the most horrible view. All we could see were the air conditioners, a restricted access shed, and abandoned hotel across the roof. Room was right next to the electrical room. It was very loud. Not a relaxing stay, when our family was there for a very important and stressful doctors appointment. Staff was nice, but our room was not ready at check-in. We had to wait an hour for our room after a 4 hour drive. check in because the room wasnt cleaned.

The hotel was very nice. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved the fact that we were seconds from the beach and the location of the hotel was great. The only problem I had was the view from our room was not great. All i could see the the nasty building when I was advertised I would have a good view of the beach. I was also disappointed to pay for parking. I feel free parking should have been included with my booking. Also the beaches were very nasty and filthy which I do not blame on the hotel. All in all my kids and I had a great visit.

This stay was GREAT!!! We travel ALOT. The hotel was clean..room as expected for Holiday Inn .nice and clean!!! The hotel next door had a fun group playing music and dancing and cooking out but they stopped around 10:30...they were really friendly and fun so I didn't mind the music 1 bit!! The hotel allows animals but the room across from us had a dog that wouldn't stop barking and they IMMEDIATELY moved me 2 floors up...no questions asked!!! Parking was in a big well lit parking lot literally a few steps away from the beach, a pier, and even a little bar. We will be going back! Adding a few pictures of the beach right from the hotel... CLEAN!!

The staff was amazing! Nice breakfast buffet and a well stocked store with snacks, drinks and anything else you may have needed. I will be back!

I liked that the hotel was walkable to parks and the marina. I also liked that the hotel was conveniently located to Whataburger Field. I did not like that the property was advertised as "beachside." What tiny bit of shoreline that there was was filthy. There was trash, discarded food, just nastiness. There was also no way to rinse of shoes and/or feet before re entering the hotel.

The room was great. I was able to check in early. I didn’t like having to place a 100$ deposit when paying for room and 10$ parking they would refund 89$. When it said what I would pay included fees and taxes I think that is really misleading. What if I didn’t have the extra for deposit. Our room was a bit warm because the AC must have been on auto. We didn’t eat breakfast because we got up late because it ends at 9:30, which they give you a wrist band that you have to have on for breakfast. Yes I would stay again room was clean bed was comfortable. Hope that helps with your next stay
