Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Scary Experience"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Checked in, left bags in room, then went for a walk. Came back and the card key would open the door. Called the desk and they sent a guy over with a master card key. That wouldn't work. The (very nice) worker broke in the room using a long coat hanger wire under the door. Then the guy had to change the battery in the door card reader. This whole thing delayed me getting back in my room for 45 minutes. The next morning I saw there was no creamer for for the coffee machine.

The room was extremely small. The bed was very uncomfortable. Ask for towel exchange, didn't receive until next day. I thought by putting towels in hallway, they would exchange them, but I had to call continuously. Even though there is no daily maid service, at a minimum trash should be removed without me needing to ask. Air conditioner was extremely loud in such a tiny space. Pool was cloudy and looked unsanitary the entire time we were there. We didn't use the pool one time. I hated every minute I had to stay there.

Called for safe in room to be unlocked, no one showed up! No carts to unload luggage, had to walk in parking lot to find someone with one to get our stuff loaded back in vehicle. Wasp nest on balcony full of wasp, seen bugs in room, nothing in room to show you nearby restaurants or attractions, room was way too small, bathroom is outdated, elevators need maintenance! We had children with us and you could tell someone was smoking marijuana, was a strong odor of it in Hallways! Had gators in the small ponds, not at all pleased with this because they could come up on banks. Will not have to worry about myself and my family ever staying there again ! ??.

The breakfast was very bad and undone.. I was just expecting more for the money. The room was comfortable, but to have to go down the street for breakfast was a bit inconveniencing, especially in bad weather.

Everything was great except the breakfast. It was awkwardly set up. No dining in, deck seating was fine, however if you went out there, you could not come back in. Not even for a coffee refill.
