I wasnt told about the security fee until after i checked in and saw a different amount on my card. One of the elevators was out of order and the one that did work was slow and making awful noises. The picture of the pool is an exaggeration. It is very small and needs updating. The pool guy was there well past the time it opened and it still had flies in it when he left. Then about an hour later a guy starts cutting grass beside the pool and the clippings were flying all over me and my family. The water on the side of the pool smells like sewer water. Its very noisey due to the "beach access" is really the highway access. Snacks in the snack bar/market are way overpriced. Parking area very cramped.

Being able to walk across the road to the beach was a definite plus with small kids. Room was very clean and smelled nice everywhere. Beach was quiet and peaceful not crowded. Staff was very friendly.

Very friendly staff. I traveled with my 2 daughters and 1 of my friends/their friends daughter…staff was so nice to them sometimes kids are not treated so friendly at places/hotels. Bfast was awesome- tons of choices. Pool was nice. Only a few issues: 1 of the 2 elevators was out of service. So we often had to wait. And in the gulf the buildings are up on risers- so the elevator was a needed item from the get go. Also no spot to pull in and register or drop off luggage/ people in the parking area. Covered parking is also limited. Lastly my card was accidentally charged $143 for incidentals even though it was suppose to only be a $100 hold. The room and hotel was left pristine since we only stayed 1 night passing through to Florida for a cheer competition. I called and they were very apologetic and did say it was an accident and in 3 days the charge was reversed on my card. Overall I say a 9/10. We already plan on staying at the same hotel next year when we go to Florida for the comp. I took 1 star for no drop off/ minimum parking (we had to walk rather far at night from the back of the lot to the door.) we plan on arriving earlier next year to enjoy to area longer. It’s wonderful!!!!

Holiday Inn Express in Gulfport delivered on every promise on their website. My family stayed here a couple of days in off season. We will definitely return for Summer of 2024.

Good location, close to Biloxi. Don’t depend on breakfast like I did. At check in we were told that there was no hot breakfast because the oven was broken. Wish I would have known this, it’s a needed convenience when traveling with kids and the reason I booked this particular hotel. But, not only was there nothing hot, there was no milk, no pancake mix, no jelly. And the lady working the breakfast was entirely too rude to be conveying this information. So dry cereal and frozen cinnamon rolls were the only option. Elevators are horrible, take the stairs, it’s only 3 floors total. The entire property needed to be cleaned up and updated. I always stay with holiday inn but will not be returning to this property. Not worth the price you pay at all.

The hotel was overran with a baseball group. Although quiet time was posted everwhere for 10 pm, this group was drunk outside and were at the pool and had over 20 kids running amuck after 10 and were still going hard at almost midnight. Then in the morning when we went to breakfast they were all over the hotel being loud as well. Paid a lot of money to not be able to enjoy ANY of it!!! Highly disappointed. Was only there for a night. Had i known i would not have stayed there.
