Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is a no frills spot that’s close to the manatee swim we were doing. The rooms are a bit outdated with some peeling wood on the doors and scratches on the tub, but it’s a clean and comfortable room for an overnight stay. The breakfast does the trick if you need something fast, but I wouldn’t say it’s out of this world. Biscuits and gravy were yummy though. What really sets this hotel apart is the kind staff. This is the second time I’ve stayed here, and I appreciate the warmth and flexibility of the staff. I was really impressed by Tatum, who took such great care of us. Educated us on our IHG Rewards and was kind enough to schedule a late checkout so we could shower after our swim. Overall, I’d stay here again.

We were looking for a pet-free hotel, as those usually have less odor in the rooms. The description of this Holiday Inn Express did not mention that it is pet-friendly, but apparently, for $30 you can bring your four-legged family member. I have nothing against pets or their owners, but I prefer staying in hotels that do not allow animals, so this should really be clearly stated in the hotel’s description to help travelers like us make an informed choice. We had to swap rooms twice before finding one that didn’t smell like urine or have a musty odor. The final room we settled on still had issues — the toilet seat was not properly cleaned. We ended up cleaning it ourselves since the housekeeping staff, though polite, didn’t actually fix the issue when asked. On the positive side, the amenities appear new, the bathroom is in good condition, and the towels and sheets were clean with no unpleasant odors from the pillows. Overall, this hotel has potential, but it really needs to: Clearly disclose its pet-friendly policy Improve room cleanliness and inspection standards. We typically stay staying in Holiday Inn because it usually keep itself to a higher standards. This location we are not coming back
