What guests think

Travellers describe Holiday Inn Express - Gulfport Beach by IHG as a clean, beachside stay with friendly, accommodating staff, comfortable rooms with Gulf views, and easy access across the road to the sand and nearby attractions.

The complimentary breakfast is frequently praised for taste and variety, though some mornings suffer from slow refills or equipment issues that limit hot items.

Expect a convenient, friendly beach getaway with mostly comfortable stays and a few operational hiccups.

We really had an amazing time. The only complaint is there was only one elevator working and the laundry room was out of order. Other than that all was good.

The staff are great, the view is excellent, and the breakfast is good. Our only complaint is the washer/dryers are outdated or not working, otherwise top notch!

I wasnt told about the security fee until after i checked in and saw a different amount on my card. One of the elevators was out of order and the one that did work was slow and making awful noises. The picture of the pool is an exaggeration. It is very small and needs updating. The pool guy was there well past the time it opened and it still had flies in it when he left. Then about an hour later a guy starts cutting grass beside the pool and the clippings were flying all over me and my family. The water on the side of the pool smells like sewer water. Its very noisey due to the "beach access" is really the highway access. Snacks in the snack bar/market are way overpriced. Parking area very cramped.

The hotel was beautiful, and we enjoyed our stay. The only thing we think they need to improve on is the elevator service. It was not operating properly. Sometimes we could not go down to the ground floor where the parking is located. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The view was so beautiful in the evening. Great job.

Location was great for us going to the Aquarium and the Gulf Harbor Christmas lights. Hot Chocolate bar was a nice touch. Breakfast was very good. It was very clean and service friendly Only things needing attention updated inspection of elevator and some sort of security so homeless person cannot be sleeping in the hallway. Even with that I would stay here again

The property was great as well as the complementary breakfast. However, Gulfport has a large homeless population who can conveniently enter the hotel at random to enter elevators and floor access to rooms. Unlike many hotels on the coast that have acces only for guests who have room keys. This is a serious safety concern being that transients frequently appear around the hotel property daily.

First thing I noticed was a strong humidity smell in the room and the bathroom. The lady in the front desk was really nice and she gave me another room, but it had the same smell in the room. Also the breakfast wasn’t very good.

The hotel itself was great, location wonderful right across the beach a close to local nice restaurants. Unfortunately our bathroom smelled horrible as if someone got sick and it was not properly sanitized. It smelled so bad that even the towels and room smelled badly. We went to the front desk and we were kindly relocated to a different room… well that room’s AC was not working properly, so muggy in there that the windows were fogged up. We were so tired from traveling and didn’t have the energy to request a third room, fought the heat through the night. The hotel itself was nice overall if we had cooler room it would have made it a more enjoyable stay because the beds were very clean and comfortable.

Went to check in, we were a couple hours before then advertised 4 pm check in. Thought we might be able to use the pool for a couple of hours, store our bags….the parking lot of this place was *empty*. Literally not one other car. Initially, there was no one at the front desk. Eventually a woman came out, asked what I wanted and rather curtly told me I was “way too early” and could “come back after 4”. She then just stared at me and waited for me to leave. Having been properly scolded, I left. Went to get some lunch and were told the ocean water at the beach in the area was alleged to have some kind of flesh eating bacteria in it….locals told me they don’t swim in the ocean there. We just left and stayed somewhere else. Lost the whole $187. Vacation time is limited, I can get scolded at work for free. Customer service at this hotel comes last. Staff very angry. Must have it pretty hard. Do them a favor and stay somewhere else.

Check-in is on the 2nd floor as this hotel is right on the beach across from the gulf. Staff was great and very helpful. Parking is on the 1st floor with some covered parking (nice in the summer Mississippi heat). We had a nice view of the gulf from our room. Breakfast is a hot breakfast and it was good with a decent selection. Hot coffee and juice included. It cost a little more to be on the gulf but it makes the attractions convenient to get to. Overall, very pleased.

The property was great for a short stay. I would not recommend for a week long family vacation due to the beach being so close to the port. For a short getaway it was wonderful. Pretty much every room has some sort of beach view.

The hotel experience over all was good, but the breakfast was disappointing. By 7:00am 75% of the food was gone and they don’t refill it, so it was eggs with chive, sausage, toast, or cereal as your options. Traveling with young kids and those food options for breakfast was very limiting. But we loved that we could walk across the street to the beach and the walk back to hop in the pool.

The hotel had an excellent staff, all were friendly and care for any needs we may have had. This hotel is across the street from the beach, and we were the only ones there. We had an excellent stay. Breakfast included hot omelets, or scrambled eggs, with bacon and sausage, biscuits and gravy, they also had the pancake maker, yogurt and fresh fruit on some days. I would stay there again any time.

Good location, close to Biloxi. Don’t depend on breakfast like I did. At check in we were told that there was no hot breakfast because the oven was broken. Wish I would have known this, it’s a needed convenience when traveling with kids and the reason I booked this particular hotel. But, not only was there nothing hot, there was no milk, no pancake mix, no jelly. And the lady working the breakfast was entirely too rude to be conveying this information. So dry cereal and frozen cinnamon rolls were the only option. Elevators are horrible, take the stairs, it’s only 3 floors total. The entire property needed to be cleaned up and updated. I always stay with holiday inn but will not be returning to this property. Not worth the price you pay at all.
