Benchmark in Gulf of Mexico

"No food available time of check in 2;30"

"We enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn Express. PROS: - extremely comfortable beds; curtains made the room very dark and AC provided some white noise in the background; we slept very well! - covered patio was nice - pool was lovely, as were the chairs/loungers around the pool - excellent breakfast with lots of variety; potatoes were especially delicious - plenty of hot water for a bath CONS: - internet was very slow on the 4th floor; tried to download the IHG app and it took 8 minutes to download (it was speedy in the breakfast lounge, though) - smell of marijuana on the patio on two of the three nights - vending machine ate my coins and gave no change - the phone in our room had no cord, so we couldn't use it - water has a strong chlorine smell to it; tried to fill up a water bottle with water from the tap, but it was unpleasant to drink"

"Excessive noise at 3:30 am ..called desk and security went to source. Remained quiet for about 5 minutes but started again. Called the desk previous evening and asked for two blankets. I was told they only had one blanket available and I would have to come get it. The toilet water ran nonstop. Went to get water from the complimentary water dish and both were empty. The breakfast was not as expected and the juices were room temperature with no ice available. Very disappointed "

"Yes. It is ocen veiw room. But rooms cleaning service - needs to be little more better. Felt like rooms are cleaned properly. "

"I enjoyed my stay here and would love to stay here again for longer!"

"Right near Bourbon st great location"

"Great place to vacation. Plenty of restaurants on or near the property. Lots of pools, hammocks, fire pit, Adirondack chairs. Super friendly staff, very helpful. Plenty of towels for the beach and pool. Well located, will definitely go back."

"They nickel and dime you for everything! The food was cold at breakfast and not that great. All of the employees were great except one!! I had to call corporate on him. The place needs a lot of maintenance and it has a smell. There are better properties!! For the price you can do better! "

"Beautiful hotel in a great location on a great beach! Amazing ocean views, nice comfortable rooms, great food and drinks at 3 bar/ restaurants."
