From the Front Desk Staff to the Housekeepers to the Manager. Everyone was pleasant and helpful and nice clean , comfortable rooms. I would especially like to thank Marilyn,(I think that is her name), she was there from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. She checked us in, drove us to Walgreens and checked us out. It seemed like she was everywhere and that made us feel good knowing there was a Manager around. Ron and Kyle were great at directions and resturant suggestions. They let us check out late because of flight changes. Marilyn has a great team! Once again thank you all at the Holdiay Inn Express Rocky Point for making us feel at home. Keep up the good job! We will be back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088903843091131906.post-18488485642145083452009-02-25T19:30:00.000-05:002009-02-25T19:30:00.000-05:00My family visited Sarasota, Florida in February, and had the most awesome experience kayaking with Almost Heaven Kayak Adventures on the South Lido Mangroves Tunnel tour. Even though we are all beginners, our tour guide gave us great paddling instructions and was very helpful in calming our nerves. He was also very knowledgeable about the local habitat and Florida eco system. So much so that my two teenagers and five year old are still talking about the experience. We highly recommend Almost Heaven Kayak Adventures (www.kayakfl.com). It was a must for anyone staying in the Sarasota/Bradenton area.Dawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05434793324538188248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088903843091131906.post-30869303419915087132008-12-12T11:42:00.000-05:002008-12-12T11:42:00.000-05:00New Hotel On Treasure Island, Florida Now Open!<BR/><BR/>The Crystal Palms Beach Resort on Treasure Island is a new boutique hotel, with all the latest features and technology you would expect.

They all really stood out with smiles and kindness.<BR/><BR/>Rib Fest of course was our reason for our stay, but the overall talk among my friends have been the hotel accommodations and your staff. What I continually hear everyday since the stay is “Jim, for next year do you already have rooms for the Rib Fest weekend at the Hampton Inn and Suites downtown St. Pete “we can’t wait” and I’m sure the news is going to spread fast among other friends the time we all had.<BR/><BR/>I personally can not THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM enough. <BR/><BR/>In today’s time, I think that being able to share fun times with friends are VERY IMPORTANT and without question your team helped me accomplish my objective.<BR/><BR/>I hope to see you along with your team next year for this event. <BR/><BR/>As soon as I hear on the dates set for next years Rib Fest 2009, my first call will be to reserve 3 rooms for the weekend at your facility.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jim DowdyJim Dowdynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088903843091131906.post-8613446075370691362008-12-12T10:10:00.000-05:002008-12-12T10:10:00.000-05:00Holiday Inn &amp; Suites Brevard, NC<BR/>I\&#39;m writing a letter directly to the hotel management today to thank them. We called ahead for reservations for Thanksgiving night and the two or three days afterwards, and found the Holiday Inn Express in Brevard was full through the entire holiday weekend. We were very disappointed, since we\&#39;ve stayed there so often we consider the Express in Brevard our home away from home. So although we knew nothing about the brand, we had to book a room at the only other hotel in town that had vacancies; the Rodeway Inn. When we opened the door to our room we took two steps in, didn\&#39;t even put the suitcases down, went back to the front desk and cancelled our reservation. Without attempting to describe it, we decided we\&#39;d literally rather sleep in the car than in that room. In a last ditch effort to save our Thanksgiving trip , I called the Holiday Inn Express from the parking lot at the Rodeway Inn and explained our situation, asked if they had any cancellations, told them we\&#39;d sleep on anything that would hold two people, and that we wanted to come home ! The desk clerk said she thought they had had a cancellation, couldn\&#39;t locate it while she was on the phone and said to just come on over, and they\&#39;d find us something. They did, and we ended up staying in a clean, comfortable room where we felt at home and welcome. If you\&#39;ve ever come home after a long day, walked in the door and smiled to be there, that\&#39;s pretty much how we felt. So thanks to the great staff at the Holiday Inn Express in Brevard we had a wonderful Thanksgiving trip , were treated like family and felt like it, too. I can\&#39;t say enough good things about both the quality of this hotel or the people who work there. Absolutely the best .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088903843091131906.post-83048623227078519952008-12-11T22:07:00.000-05:002008-12-11T22:07:00.000-05:00I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along.

Super comfortable, perfect location.<BR/><BR/>If I may make a suggestion: The only downside to staying at the Coquina was the lack of wi-fi high speed internet access. I couldn't get a dial-up connection, and even if I could, charging a fee per connection and limiting time for a slow dial-up line is impractical and frankly a tad absurd in this day and age.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, it was a great stay and I hope to be back!RJ Flamingohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05377223115428239674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088903843091131906.post-29932668396864227332008-06-25T10:35:00.000-04:002008-06-25T10:35:00.000-04:00Dear Ms. Colvin,<BR/> <BR/>My stay at the Holiday Inn Auburn was most enjoyable.

From the moment my daughter initially met with Jenn to the day of the wedding, the staff was nothing short of accommodating and pleasant to work with. Along with following Lisa’s written directions (complete with a diagram) for decorating the room with her personal decorations – they went above and beyond with their own decorating. If they felt that something more was needed somewhere, it was done. The room looked magical !!!<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Not only did the room look beautiful – the service was outstanding!!! The servers were professional, personable and they couldn’t do enough for everyone. Our hats are off to Lu (I believe that is her name) and the rest of the staff.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>We have been to several weddings at very large, fancy wedding-factory-type venues. I can honestly say that the way the Holiday Inn treated us was far above the treatment at those facilities. It was so much more personal. Not only did the room look spectacular, the service was superior and the price was so very reasonable. <BR/><BR/>We can go on and on with how pleased we were on this very special day but I won’t take too much of your time. Just please know that we will remember this day forever as a magical day for our daughter and her new husband. <BR/><BR/>Thank you!!! <BR/><BR/>Deb and Tom PepeDeb and Tom Pepenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088903843091131906.post-24787011307589783422007-11-13T15:29:00.000-05:002007-11-13T15:29:00.000-05:00Holiday Inn Waterloo<BR/>To the staff at the Holday Inn:<BR/>Thank you for hosting our 18th annual Lifecar Conference.
