Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Port St. Lucie West, an IHG Hotel (Port St. Lucie, USA)

For golfers, the appeal of this hotel is perhaps obvious, but numerous guests also comment that this hotel places you right in the center of an area that is rich in shopping and dining options. If you want to explore further afield, you'll find many of the area's attractions are within a 20 to 30-minute drive.

The majority of guests comment favorably about the service offered by the front desk team, often describing the staff as genuinely friendly and prompt when dealing with requests. Also, at least some of the front desk staff appears to be local and are happy to share recommendations for dining in the area.

The rates at the hotel are often deemed reasonable by guests. Also of note is the selection of freebies included in the initial cost of the rooms. You won't need to stretch your budget to cover essentials such as parking and Internet access.

Although many guests are fairly happy with the level of comfort offered by the rooms and suites at the hotel, it does seem like the accommodation would benefit from some updates. Guests report dated furniture and poor paint work.

Not all feedback suggests an issue with housekeeping, but some comments indicate that the service occasionally lacks attention to detail. The problems are usually fairly minor - stray hairs and towels left unreplaced - but do lead to some disappointment.

While there doesn't appear to be anything awful about breakfast and, indeed, many guests enjoyed this free amenity, some reviews suggest that you may find the selection of food is a little basic. On the plus side, the staff member who attends to breakfast is very friendly and keeps service running smoothly.
