It was a lot of money for really bad food and drinks... The lack of waitstaff in the lounge, leaving us sitting forever... the check-in process was very slow. The bathroom needs a full makeover for the amount of money we paid for one night ($600+ fees).

Nice clean room with a waterfront view, comfortable bed and quiet setting. We only had breakfast while there. I had the Lobster Benedict both days. Delicious. Service was slow. Servers seemed disinterested in refilling coffee, checking on tables etc. otherwise overall a great place to stay.

Either Expedia or the Holiday Inn failed to communicate the fact that the Holiday Inn was closing on the same day as our arrival. The person that greeted us -well, we actually greeted him- informed me that we would then be transferred to another hotel of the Holiday Inn's liking. I was very upset after an eleven hour drive and now confronted with the spectre of not having a place to stay for the night! Turns out the hotel was actually nicer than the Holiday Inn, but the fact that I was not told or informed that the hotel I booked was closing for the season was very stressful for myself and my wife. Try to do better next time, Expedia. Don't book appointments for hotels that are closing down. Thank you.
