Staying at the Holiday Inn at Lido Beach was a wonderful experience overall. The location right across from the beach made it so easy to enjoy the ocean and sand. The rooms were comfortable and had decent views, but I did notice they could use a little update. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout my stay, and I especially loved the tasty breakfast buffet. On the downside, I didn't appreciate the additional resort fee that was tacked on. However, the variety of amenities helped balance this out.

We had a great weekend getaway at the Holiday Inn! The location is perfect for beach lovers and dining options, being just across from Lido Beach and a short walk to St. Armands Circle. The hotel impressed us with its cleanliness and the thoughtful amenities like beach towels and daily snacks. While the breakfast buffet had a lovely view, the food itself was somewhat lacking. Overall, it provided good value for our stay, but the room's condition could use some updates.

I had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn at Lido Beach, especially because of its prime location right across from the beach. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, allowing for relaxation after a day of exploring. The staff was quite helpful, though I did find the front desk a bit less engaging than I had hoped. The pool area was a pleasant surprise, providing a great space to unwind. However, I was slightly disappointed that the dining options didn't include breakfast. Overall, it was a fantastic value given the amenities and the location.

The Holiday Inn on Lido Key is a fantastic place to unwind, offering clean and spacious rooms with spectacular views. The staff is incredibly attentive and helpful, making check-in a breeze. While there was some initial smell upon arrival that wasn't the hotel's fault, overall the environment is serene, especially at the pool. The dining options are great, though the breakfast buffet had room for improvement. Overall, it provides good value for a beach getaway.

The hotel offers a wonderful location right across from Lido Beach, making beach access super convenient. The staff is welcoming and eager to assist, adding to the pleasant atmosphere. However, the rooms could use some updates, and we faced minor inconveniences with the sliding door lock and room key issues. Overall, it's a good value for money considering the proximity to the beach and local dining options.
