We stayed there last year(june 2001). It was dirty and disgusting. We had booked a KID SUITE(ha ha ha). It is an oversized hotel room with partical board making a room that has a bunk bed and a cot. No door and the partical board is only 5 feet high! The shower was filthy and refridgerator did not keep anything cold.
The pool was nice actually but quite a walk from the beach. Only a few select room are actually facing the beach, most face the parking lot!
We had just left HIFS and man, we were disappointed!( in cocoa beach..NOT HIFS..HIFS WAS GREAT)
I eneded up getting half of my money back from Holiday Inn because of the conditions of my room and the misrespresentation that it was a beach front property( like i said, only a hand ful of rooms).
My sister actually threw such a fit, they gave here a loft apartment that was on the beach. It was like a small townhouse, it was nice and cleaner than my room. Plus, it had direct beach access!!!
The Inn at Cocoa Beach was much nicer..Check it out!
