The IHG Hotel CANCELLED our reservations and we still don’t know why? We called Hotels.com and they confirmed our reservation with the Hotel IHG. We were given a room after going back & forth with the front desk. Since we had 2 bookings for the same week we did not understand.

NIGHTMARE! The Hotel CANCELLED our reservation!

Our reservation was cancelled by the Hotel. We don’t know why & had to call Hotels.com late at night and the agent confirmed we had reservations. We were very upset and confused, since we had 2 separate bookings for the same week and one was cancelled. They blamed it on system glitch. The rooms are dated and not renovated. Only the lobby area is very nice. The Beach is not close to the hotel!

It is a functioning hotel but requires an upgrade. Sound proofing in room not the best and also has the old damp smell. Lot of dining options and location is also fine.
