Holiday Inn Hilton Head - Oceanfront

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 23 Aug 2011 rated 3 out of 10.

This hotel was a dismal place to stay. It was run-down and poorly maintained. While the hotel is on the ocean front, my room had no view, no balcony, and smelled like a locker room.

Positives: Nice location.

Negatives: The lobby and room were poorly maintained. The room smelled like a locker room and had a non-functioning dehumidifier.

We loved everything about this hotel. It was on the beach, within walking distance to shopping, snack shops, restaurants, beach, and entertainment. We would definitely stay there again!

Positives: The hotel was in walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The hotel was very clean and staff was very helpful.

Negatives: The air conditioning in the hotel room did not cool well.

Would not recommend. Once<BR/>I named my own price, when I checked in their was a pool resort fee and an extra parking fee because 2 people shared one room. This did not make my name my own price such a great deal. Local calls were a charge and all the drinks were very expensive.

Positives: Could walk to beach.

Negatives: Loud, unfriendly parking attendants, and difficult to park.

The hotel was fine for what we were looking for. Beach access was a priority and cleanliness. Both were good!

Positives: Great location; helpful and friendly staff.

Negatives: Nothing really.

Location was great, but room needs some updating. Bathroom was small and door would not shut since it was too large for opening.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Small outdated bathroom.

Negatives: had greater expectations for the room old coffee was left in thecoffee maker, stains on the pillows, room cramped

Location was nice, the bathtub had a grab bar that came loose when handled and trash fell into bathtub. Very disgusting.

Positives: Dining on location bar on local.

Negatives: The bathroom was out of date and in poor repair.

We were given a smoking room, and could not change to a non-smoking room. Although the smoke odor was minimal and not too bad. We stayed for two nights. The room was a little larger than a standard room and our room contained a king-size bed and coach.

Positives: Great location on the beach. Our toddler loved playing on the beach.

Negatives: We were given a smoking room and could not change to non-smoking.

The hotel was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The shower area could have been a little cleaner, the walls were stained with lime deposits, and the soap dish fell off the wall the last morning we were there. We were very pleased with the hotel over all.

Positives: Proximity to where we wanted to be.

Negatives: The bathroom needed to be updated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 25 Sep 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

The hotel room was damp, clothes and bedding grew mildew within the first two days. The bathroom was losing tile and the plumbing dilapidated. The room had ants, when we went to the front desk to get a different room; their response was condescending at best - as if our standards were too high. After we changed rooms, we noticed the room had been cleaned and given to another guest the next day, there is no way that room had dried out it had serious plumbing issues. The second room was not damp, but still felt more like a motel 6. Would not stay there again.

Positives: Hotel is near the beach and local shopping/restaurants.

Negatives: The hotel needs serious renovation.

It was overall nice, but more expensive then what it was worth.

Positives: On the beach.

Negatives: No balconies.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 04 Sep 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

The hotel was clean and friendly. The room was very clean and we never had a shortage of towels. Had a great Tiki bar and pool area. Beautiful ocean view from the Tiki bar. Great location. Over all I would stay there again and recommend it to my friends and family.

Positives: Ocean front, Tiki bar, live music and great pool. Very good staff.

Negatives: Hard to find a parking space.

Nice hotel for family vacations who want beach access. Not so great if you're looking for a quiet beach spot. Oh and watch out for the jellies in the water! Ouch!

Positives: Beach access.

Negatives: Too crowded.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 21 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

We enjoyed our stay. We only stayed for one night. It could be a little cleaner and updated. The location is awesome. Parking is limited but they have valet. They could do a better job of regulating who uses parking lot and pool, limit to hotel guests only. Only ate breakfast at hotel and it was good but not worth $10 for what we ate.

Positives: Location is great, pool area was nice.

Negatives: Bathrooms need update, $10 per person for breakfast.

Location was great on the beach, however, be sure you ask for room with an oceanfront view, as there is no guarantee. Housekeeping was great, but accounting staff was very rude. My room key decided not to work one day, so when I went to the front desk to exchange it, the guy in front of me was having the same exact problem. The guy in front of me was not given any problem. When it was my turn, sighs of frustration ran over the guys face. I should have been frustrated, but he gave me a rude sigh and threw my hotel key back on the counter!

Positives: Access to beach, Angel and Zack at front desk were very nice.

Negatives: Attitude and unkindness of Craig from Accounting department.

I really enjoyed the location and amenities it offered. My only disappointment with this hotel was an unprofessional staff member.

Positives: I really enjoyed the location and amenities it offered.

Negatives: I was thoroughly disappointed with the security staff. Highly unprofessional.

OK hotel nice pool but will not stay there again.

Positives: The pool.

Negatives: The hotel rooms had to switch rooms 3 times.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Good location/quality for the price/location. Pool was very nice. Room size was good. Hotel staff was not very knowledgeable about the area which was disappointing.

Positives: Rooms were good sized and included a refrigerator and microwave.

Negatives: Elevator was very humid/stuffy, smelled bad, and was very slow. Some corridors also had an odor.

Pros: 1.) Cheap 2.) Quiet 3.) Good pool access. Cons: 1.) Old and smelly 2.) Had a person in the lobby at all times trying to sell you a discount program. 3.) Had to walk further to your car to park than to the beach and at night zero lights outside. 4.) Very dirty carpets! Wear your socks or shoes at all times! 5.) Shower was interesting. Overall if you are looking for a cheap place to sleep and not concerned about any frills, this is the place for you. I would stay here again because I only wanted to go to the beach! We were there for three days and only in our rooms long enough to sleep and change clothes.

Positives: Cheap and very close to beach access.

Negatives: Old and smelly.

This is a great hotel for 20 - something's looking to be close to the beach without spending a fortune. Fortunately, it was the spring break crowd I sort of expected, but there was definitely a younger demographic there. For the most part, the hotel was clean, but in need of some updates and minor repair work. But there was nothing that wouldn't keep me from staying there again.

Positives: Incredible price for the proximity to the beach.

Negatives: Hotel needs some updates, parking was limited.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 16 Jul 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Excellent place to stay, will stay there again.

Positives: Near the beach and shopping plaza.

Negatives: Only 1 ice machine.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 16 Jul 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

I should have opted for an Inn instead. This place was **icky**. Bedroom had another door connecting to maybe the next door room. Lock was not working very well so they put a chair there. Scared me a lot. Balcony was 1foot broad. Could barely stand. On entering the room stunk like 'Phenol' cleaners. The cleaning staff made only the beds and took the dirty towels. Left everything else untouched and dirty and gave only one towel for the second day. Parking was too far away and had to walk back at night in the dark.

Positives: Reasonable.

Negatives: Dirty, poor parking, unfriendly staff, stinky.

The Metropolitan hotel of Hilton head is a good value for travelers on a budget. I was able to take my daughters on a 3 night beach vacation and not spend a lot of money. It is a short walk to the beach and there are lots of shops about a mile and a half away from the hotel. The complimentary breakfast, although with a limited selection, aloud me to go down and take breakfast back to the room to have waiting for the girls when they woke up. There was a refrigerator and microwave in our room which was a plus. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. There is a small business center with a computer so that guests can check their email with a 20 min time limit. I was pleased with my stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone who is wishing to take a beach vacation.

Positives: Complimentary breakfast/refrigerator & microwave in the room.

Negatives: Parking was very limited on the weekend/poor lighting in the room.
