    Loved the swimming pool and breakfast. The only thing we didn't like is the air conditioner. We didn't expect the old fashioned design AC in a nice hotel like Holiday Inn. The wind blows too hard even on LOW and it's uncomfortable. My dad complained that it's cold and shut it off. Therefore, his room got very stuffy:( Not sure if we'll come back next year because of that.

    Suitable for families. But expect chaos

    The room wasvery comfy and tidy. I gotta say the staff were friendly and quick at check-in, a relief.

    It wasn't inexpensive, but still manageable, you know.

    Can recommend for a relaxing holiday

    Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a complimentary breakfast make this hotel a great choice for families, especially since it's conveniently located just a short drive to the boardwalk and also offers access to beautiful redwood forests nearby.

    All excellent.
