Only one issue is they some had mixed up that I had checked in already when I hadn’t. After 20mins they sorted it out and we selected a room of our choice. Other than that, room was good, close to shops, quiet, had a bear at our front door and breakfast was sufficient.

Great place to stay!

Fantastic location, very clean rooms and property. The bed was comfy and the pool/hot tub area was great. Buffet breakfast had a variety of hot and cold food, as well as drinks. We will definitely stay here again! *Side note…we learned that Lakeside beach, (which is walking distance) is a gated, private beach that charges $30 per adult for a day pass. They were sold out that day so we had to bike a little farther to find a public beach.

Horrible customer service! Guests beware!

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! Booked on line and paid in full thru hotels.com. When I gave my credit card for incidentals I was charged again full price for hotel when I checked out. I brought this to staffs attention who said this was "negative" charge. I was not! Working all week to get charges reversed. I have receipts for both charges. Keep getting run around from holiday inn... no manager available, I don't have code, I'll have to look into this..... excuse after excuse!!! No choice but to take this up further and report fraud to credit card company and report them to the Better Business Bureau. While hotels.com staff have tried to help, still no resolution after a week.
