Stay AWAY!
Unless you want to listen to the cast and crew from the Jersey Shore, fighting, drinking, cursing and screaming until the wee hours of the morning, STAY AWAY from this HOLE! Worst part about this wasn't that the manager left before 11:00pm but that the staff informed me that they've had a number of complaints like this and still CONTINUE to UPGRADE Priority Club Members to this type of room! OK, maybe that wasn't the worst of it but it beat the Restaurant Impossible hotel restaurant in the lobby (no kidding, Robert Irvine ought to come here) as they had only 4 tables of customers and only 3 menus for the ENTIRE restaurant...my husband and I had to WAIT for another table that had the menus before we could decide which of the PRE-packaged frozen dinners we wanted to over-pay for. So EVERYTHING is expensive here, SO WHAT, it's California and that's life. I didn't come here looking for a bargain but I regret not walking to a fine restaurant on the pier a couple of blocks away WILLING to pay double for what we ended up paying a little less for in this dump. I just read other reviews about the peeling paint and slow Internet and that's all true too and while those things would typically annoy me, it wouldn't drive me to sign up to publicly offer up a review. My beef with this place is the terrible name they give to Holiday Inn in general. It's a great chain we've stayed with for 30+ years around the globe. If I were the corporate office, I would pull my name off their building and let these owners run this dump under a different name!
