We stayed there once using Holiday Inn Points. It is fine if you are getting a deal. Not brand new, but nice pool and convenient to most shopping and food. Use normal precautions at night--cab to restaurants at a distance and don't wander down dark alleys and use common sense. In the daytime fine to walk to shopping and restaurants. I believe they ran a daily free shuttle to the beach. Again, not a plush resort on the beach but convenient to downtown.

Hello,

Its on the waterfront. If you have a room at the front then you will have a nice view and if you don't then your view is of roads/roofs in other words - no view. If you go back about a block from the hotel then you have a seedy area at night so don't go back that way at night, use taxis.

Thanks,
We are renting a car and do not plan on walking at night in bad areas.
