Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

First off the picture of the hotel needs to be updated on the IHG website- this pic is years old and most likely reflects the property when it first opened. It isn’t even the same color anymore. 1. Upon driving up my teen stated that she was absolutely not staying here. The pool is very run down with debris in it. It is small and doesn’t look up-kept. This is not what we have come to expect from IHG properties. We are rewards members and stay at IHG properties around 10-20 times a year. 2. The whole hotel was dirty. The floors needed to be mopped and had sticky stuff and dirt all over them, especially in the elevator. I gave them grace- maybe house cleaning was sick. By day 2 it was still there. The check in desk is missing paint on the wall- it looks run down and needs touch up paint. It screams days inn- not IHG with an IHG price point. 3. Breakfast was a smaller spread than what most Holiday inn expresses have. My major issue is the egg white omelet was not an egg white omelette- it was the ham and cheese. It doesn’t seem like a big deal until you consider reglious and dietary needs- some people are allergic to milk and don’t eat meat. I asked the breakfast attendant if it was labeled correctly and she very rudely answered yes. Had I consumed this I could have had an allergic reaction. 4. Every employee that I encountered was rude and seemed put off. Upon checking in the attendant was clearly sick, kept sniffing snot back up her nose but was not wearing a mask. In conclusion I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express in Panama City. It has an amazing resort feel, gorgeous pool area with a lazy river and is actually on the beach. It is also the same price. Had we known the condition of this property we would have stayed in PCB and driven in to Destin daily for my Daughter’s tournament. I would suggest IHG quality control look into hiring new management- it clearly isn’t being run or up-kept to its potential and clearly doesn’t reflect the IHG brand.

The facility was CLEAN!!! I want to say it was recently updated. Our room was very nice! Entry and bath had tile while the sitting area and bed area had clean carpet. A/C kept the room nice and cool, was great to come to after spending the day on the beach. One thing that would have made our experience better would be a more firm mattress, the one we had was like sleeping on a marshmallow.

The shower was hot with dove toiletries, comfy bed and pillows. No frills. Breakfast is the same as every holiday inn express, nothing fancy but serves the purpose. Hotel staff was light due to our stay during the holiday.

A good hotel with greater location. Clean, comfortable rooms. Good breakfast selections included. Near beach and amazing shopping center, across 98; all within walking distance. Rooms are comfy, maintained clean by hard-working staff. The lady that services the breakfast area does an outstanding job! She makes sure the area is neat, clean, and continuously replenished with fresh food.

Room was very clean. There was a huge new flat screen tv. Bathroom desperately needed sink towel hangers. There was no hanger on back of bathroom door to keep clothes off floor. Room had refrigerator and small microwave. In room safe. Keurig coffee maker. There were pallets on floor of lobby my entire stay. Plenty of nice luggage carts. There was only one very small elevator.

Beware!!! The hotel staff made unauthorized $50 charge to our bill AFTER they gave us our receipt that was left under our room door. We had no idea until we checked our bank statement the next day. Another couple we know who stayed there said they were charged $50 for early check in but they were told that upfront. We were NEVER asked nor told there would be an extra fee for checking in an hour early and we would not have agreed to it. If that’s why we were charged the extra $50, then we should’ve been given a $50 credit for checking out early too, since we left by 8am! What a scam!!! Anyone staying here needs to ask for another bill at the front desk on your way out and not rely on the one they slip under your door. Total scam!

Average hotel, be aware they use fragrances on their sheets and pillow covers. Smells really bad and for those who have allergies, you should avoid this hotel. Also this place is under renovation, their tv's are not mounted to the wall. They sit on the desk.dresser

We stayed because of the low IGH points, NO pet policy and it's close to the beach - 6 minute walk. But it's not quiet. No barking dogs but the thin doors and loud floors made up for it. You hear the footsteps in the hallway and above us. Guessing the hotel is stick framed. Our profile says we like high floors for quiet but was told the 3rd floor of this 3 story hotel was being "deep cleaned" so 2nd fl for us. As long as no one was directly above us we didn't care. Asked again after checking in to verify no one would be directly above us and was assured there wasn't. Must have been a ghost up there starting at 7:00 that woke me up. And our room's alarm clock went off at midnight... And those slamming doors. Three strikes for noise. The room decor is very 70s looking. Bathroom looked redone but the room itself is very worn and furniture was old - couch real bad, stained. Glad it was just one night.

Hi jurassicdaryl, Thank you for staying at our hotel on this visit and sharing your feedback. I hope all is well. We want to ensure our guests always have a great stay, and I'm sorry to learn that we failed to meet your expectations because of the room assigned and its overall condition. I read how you hoped to have a room on the high floor. I also understand your disappointment with the issue with the noise, and sofabed's cleanliness. On a lighter note, I am glad you got good points value, and our pet policy was a great plus. I assure you that your concerns have been forwarded to the Management, and I am sure they will use this as a reference and be used for future improvements. Again, thanks for staying with us. I know that this stay may not have been the best, but I am hopeful for another opportunity to welcome you back. Safe travels, Glaiza G. Case Manager IHGService

I have been avoiding Florida's beaches since the uptake in the delta variant of the corona pandemic infection. The loose nature of the state which is enhanced by the governor's stupidity, has made it persona non gratis. However, some friends I hadn't seen in over 10 years were vacationing in the Destin area, so I took a chance and made a quick trip down there. Passing through Destin a few months ago, I noticed a lot of new hotels. The Hilton garden inn as well as the la Quinta, are very new. However I chose to stay at the Holiday inn Express, because of my familiarity with the place, and it's more economical price than the other two hotels mentioned. Location-the hotel is located near a popular intersection that has an outback steakhouse, a cracker barrel, a Publix supermarket, a first watch restaurant for breakfast, and an entertainment complex with the movie theater. There's even a bass pro shop nearby should you need Beach equipment. One good thing about its location is that you can walk to the beach which is about three short blocks away. So you don't even have to move your car. Hotel-the hotel itself was clean, and rather basic, but quite comfortable. The parking lot is kind of small, but there seems to be space in the strip mall next door.

We came here for 3 nights, and each morning, I woke up sore all over. However, I'm not sure if that may have been from my 5 hour jet ski rental. The room was clean and spacious. There was always hot water. The doors are very thin, and you can easily hear people in the hallway. Breakfast was mediocre, but hey, it's free. I didn't try the pool out. The ladies at the front were always nice. Great location. Can't beat it for the price.
