Great stay… sub-par breakfast.
Everything was great… except the breakfast. Staff was friendly, check in was quick and easy, rooms clean, and beds comfy… but the breakfast was sub par considering other breakfast I have had at Holiday Inns… edible but not satisfying. I would definitely stay again though. There’s plenty of local grub in the area.

Clean & comfortable - nice staff
It's an older hotel, but it was clean and comfortable. The staff were all nice. Not too far from venues like the Wharf, Perdido Beach Resort and the beach! I would stay here again.
