A nice place for a stopover. Clean and comfortable. However, very expensive - $133 a night for regular size king without even a small fridge. Could have stayed on ocean for a better price. $69 would have been more like it. Very friendly service though. Hot water is luke warm at best. Be prepared to shiver in bath or shower.

the good: great location for Adventureland, clean, indoor pool, fairly nice rooms--up to normal standards of Holiday Inn Express the bad: key cards were a nightmare, front desk did not activate either of my cards and de-activated randomly (and were never near my other credit cards or cell phone). Other members of our party had similar problems. "Hot breakfast" was... More
