We were so glad we found this Holiday Inn. The atmosphere and location were amazing. They had a fabulous bartender and it was an easy booking. The only downside with our room was that it was right next to the elevator. The bathroom was behind the elevator. It was a little noisy but the hotel was otherwise terriflc. More

well, this is the floridian version of the standard... Nice and friendly staff, but not at the restaurant. Low quality at breakfast, no business center. everithing ok, but with a sad note of superficiality in the customer care. Position ok for UN, five guys suggested for a great hamburger. coffee always warm and fresh. More

Let me just say that that staff was great. They were very courteous and friendly; check in and check out were effortless. The hotel itself appears to be an older property and the room as well as the corridors are pretty shabby. The bathroom was very small and in desperate need of a remodel. There were small bugs all over... More

Hello, we appreciate your review as it will help us become a better property for you in the future. Since you mention it, the corridors are to be fully remodeled within the next few weeks. The bed you slept on was actually one of the new ones that have been installed. Our hotel is undergoing a complete renovation process. Theres... More

Where to start? As the review of 13 December 2001 says, the internet kept on dropping out, and there was lots of dirt. The carpets and upholstery looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months. The beds had deep hollows in the middle, as if the previous occupants were manatees. The walls were thin, and noisy neighbours kept us awake... More

Thank you for taking the time to point out some issues that need fixing. As a matter of fact most of our beds have been upgraded to brand new ones. Unfortunately its been a long process, but we should have them all changed very soon. Also within the next few months we will be bringing in new carpets, and furntiure.... More

This has been one of the best hotels me and my family have stayed in. The service was excellent. The employees were very friendly especially our housekeeper Margarita Díaz. She was very helpful and considerate. The room was comfortable and our family really liked it. We hope to stay here again. More

Dear valued guest, I would like to thank you for your review as it will be taken under serious consideration. Currently our property is being rennovated, so anything you found to be old, you will actually find to be new by 2012. I find it very concerning that you had a room with no curtain. If you remember the room... More

This Holiday Inn is a step above your average. Good location, nice restaurant, and good bedding with a choice of pillows. Nice fitness facility although the machines were not all working. Lovely pool and gardens. Soundproofing leaves a bit to be desired but very comfortable beds. More
