Holiday Inn Resort Oceanfront at Surfside Beach by IHG

Proximity to the beach

No balcony. Air conditioning units outside sliding door. Fireworks got out of hand and were not monitored for safety. But they were festive!

Location on the ocean

The rooms were quite small. Needed some updating, our room had a water stain on the ceiling, the toilet wouldn’t flush properly, the pool area needed better lounge chairs, and a larger pool. The room was also warm.

Great pool and great staff.

Needs stairs that lead to the lobby.

The location was great! Just a few steps from the ocean! The staff was friendly and the hotel was very clean.

When I booked a room it only had "balcony" and did not offer to say what view. Two days before I am scheduled to arrive I receive an email saying I can upgrade to a better room for $267 with ocean view. While I enjoyed my stay I do feel like they need to fix the website so that people know what they are getting upfront. I had what they call a city view. Why in the world would anyone want to come to the beach to set on a balcony to look at a roof and into the surrounding houses? I kept the room because I had paid upfront for my room. Be ware of what you are actually renting when it come to this hotel.
