What Guests Are Saying

“Booked this place while on our way to the 30A beaches for our 2 week road trip. Booked 4 nights and couldn’t have been more pleased considering the quality, location, for the price as a last minute stay. Beach is great here, hotel is clean. Free breakfast and honestly it’s not just a typical hotel breakfast. The $ saved from breakfast alone for our family of 4 paid for the parking several times over. The bar/restaurant on site is great. Surprisingly good food and reasonable prices to be on site. We struggled to find great food in the area, we are foodies and dining out is part of the draw of vacations for us. Our best meal came from the in hotel place. Good pizzas and salad. Would book here again.” — Jamie C., 5 stars

“had a great stay at the Holiday Inn Express. The standout feature was how exceptionally clean the room was—everything from the bathroom to the bedding and floors was spotless and well maintained. It was clear that housekeeping takes cleanliness seriously, which made the stay feel comfortable and relaxing. The room was organized, fresh-smelling, and exactly what I expect from a reliable hotel. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and I would definitely stay here again.” — Kayla B., 5 stars

“Beautiful hotel right on the beach. Outdoor movies every night with the ocean as your backdrop. Other activities included luau show, and bonfire on the sandy beachfront. Great location, very friendly and hospitable staff. Perfect location.” — Gaug1Lis, 5 stars
