Room was roomy and everything in it, apart from some lighting, was functional. Complimentary breakfast was very good.

The building is ‘tired’ and could do with a refresh. The lighting in the room was pretty bad, but worst was the trash strewn around the area outside our balcony. However, this was not on their property (it was part of an Enterprise car rental next door) and the staff are going to address this. Also, there is some renovation going on which will hopefully brighten up the place.

The room was clean plus the bed and pillows were super comfortable. The breakfast location was a really nice area--spacious, with a high ceiling and very inviting. It had one big group table that was cool. Would make a good family game table as well during non-breakfast hours. I didn't have time to eat, so I actually don't know what breakfast tasted like. The location was excellent. You can walk to the beach. It's literally around the corner. There is also a good Italian restaurant literally steps away.

The curtains didn't close and there is a power station right outside. I had light glaring into my eyes all night. You can hear the cars from the Freeway.

Breakfast, room and location. I really liked our suite, we first got a regular room but it didn't have enough storage space for a week stay. Breakfast is very good too. I brough my own GF bread and I was set. Nice selection of GF options other than that.

The hallways' carpet was worn out. The hallways and common areas were not updated and that made the hotel look older and dirty. I believe they are going to update the hotel in the next few weeks, though.

Hidden parking fees. Was given notice two days before check in so even if you wanted to cancel, it was to late. It’s a motel or a motor lodge. Of course you’re going to have a car. Especially this motel. It’s totally away from any airport or bus station etc.. Then when I complained about it , the desk person said that the other motel down the street charges $25/day to park your car. Like this makes it a good deal. Nobody likes hidden fees.

This location was great! The building was a little older, but it is being updated. It was clean and the staff were wonderful. Breakfast was delicious, and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We would gladly stay again.

Hotel is located near to beach and some excellent places to eat. Breakfast at the Holiday Inn was good with a good variety of foods available. Staff were helpful and friendly

Unfortunately, our room had a strange odour, a bit musty. This didn't improve with doors open. Some of the areas of the hotel look tired

Great location, walking distance to the beach, trendy restaurants and shops. Comfy room for the most part. Bathroom stocked with plenty of shower supplies. Have stayed here twice now. Staff and crew visible and available.

Very nice to provide a warm breakfast, basic choices of oatmeal, eggs, bagels, etc., no problem, except quality, taste could improve. Also can't draw curtains shut, they're nailed in place. Not sure if it's just the room I've stayed in.

Very close to a wonderful beach. The staff was great upon checking in and also the free breakfast was good and convenient. My favorite was the wonderful lady working the breakfast area. She was friendly and kind, kept everything very clean and the food and coffee well stocked. Pool area was nice as well. Water was clean.

Shower was oldish and not as clean as I’d like but I just wore flip flops in shower. Rest of bathroom was clean. Also there were a few fruit flies in the microwave and around but it may have been if previous people had fruit or bananas in the room, since there were bananas at the free breakfast. Did not love the $16 a night fee for parking although there seems to be street parking as well (except mornings Tuesdays)

The location of the hotel was Perfect for us. Many parking Spaces along the hotel

The room was very spacious and comfortable, which a decent shower over a bath. We liked the fact that there was a fridge in the room too. Comfortable beds with a choice of pillows. An added bonus was the free breakfast, which was excellent - a big range of items (hot and cold) were available. The room was sound-proofed which was great - lovely and quiet.

The pool area was pretty grubby, and obviously hadn't been cleaned for a while. The pool itself was maintained, but walking on the dirty surrounding surfaces let the area down. The water in the jacuzzi was also a rather murky green colour - needless to say I didn't use it.
