Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Seaside Convention Center by IHG

So convenience to walk to the town and closer to restaurants

Bathroom door so close to toilet, it’s hard to open the access into the bathroom, very difficult for disable person to access to bathroom

Breakfast was excellent, staff was very ready for the Labor Day weekend rush. Forgot my toothbrush but they were so kind to give me 2x. Location is unbeatable. Everything is walking distance

The tv in the bedroom turned on but unfortunately cable didn’t.

The location was amazing to walk into downtown seaside area, the rooms were basic but comfortable. The continental breakfast was average but decent enough.

The pool and hottub smelled a little off…? There was some mold around the tile along the top of the hot tub which was off putting. Pool was cleaner though. Rooms seemed to not be cleaned well, there was a very obvious belt just Behind a chair, there was water damage on the bathroom door and some mildew along the tub.

The location is genuinely one of its strongest point, about a 20-minute walk to the beach, which makes it convenient for a coastal trip. Hours flexibility stood out as well; access to the sauna and pool extended into quieter hours after the crowds died down, which we appreciated.

Room placement was a real problem, we specifically requested to be away from the elevator and were placed directly beside it (Room 315). The walls offer almost no sound insulation: elevator mechanics, door banging, and hallway noise ran continuously through the night and into early morning. Breakfast service was understaffed, no table refills on the first morning, not enough seating, and guests were handed a cloth to wipe their own tables. The building and interiors are visibly aged, which is disclosed in other reviews, but combined with everything else, the overall experience fell well below what reviews justified. At peak summer rates, the same budget gets you a legitimate 5-star property elsewhere.
