Dress codes needed for all businesses
Enjoyed everything about it. Staff very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend this hotel. One thing that I have to comment on. I wish All businesses would have a dress code. some restaurants used to have one on the door No shirt, No shoes, no service. Some even stated no tank tops. People have no pride in themselves anymore. Today at breakfast not only were people still dressed in their pajamas and robes that were too small but there were a couple of guests that had pajamas on that were way to small and their stomach was hanging out . These are things no one wants to witness when eating breakfast or anywhere for that matter. It’s like going to Walmart. This review wasn’t meant to be a negative review for this hotel. It was meant for all businesses should start having pride in their establishments and have dress codes posted on doors, elevators and etc.

The hotel and service was excellent. The only down side was we booked this hotel based on the pool, but we learned it was closed for the season after checking in. Not the hotels fault as Expedia advertised it had a pool.

Beautiful view and pleasant and friendly staff. My only complaint would be that the water takes too long to get hot and there is a slight smell in the hallways that reminds me of damp carpet.

good location, lumpy beds
okay. room was pleasant and it was pretty clean, good location, not in a congested part of island. the only issue was that both beds in the room were really uncomfortable. I've had a better night's sleep in youth hostel bunk beds.

Dated hotel but beds were newer. Right on the Seawall but not walking distance to shopping or dining. Pool is not as appears in the pictures, and was closed but not mentioned in booking. Nov is considered offseason. Only select few rooms on the ocean side most face east west.

It probably used to be good?
Hotel was very run down. Definitely not what you would expect for a Holiday Inn. Hotel has a great location, but that is about the only thing going for it.
