I was there just 2 weeks ago. The Holiday Inn is a nice place, not a roach motel at all. You get a breakfast each morning - eggs, bacon, grits, make your on waffle, fruit, pastries - all included. There are 2 pools with a Tiki bar between them, Nick mixes a really good rum & coke - heavy on the rum.
The only complaint is there was no balcony off our rooms to hang our wet gear, but we were only 100' from the boat. We finally just hung them over the fence around the pool and sat at the Tiki bar to watch things dry.
Several eating places close by, I preferred to walk down the canal to Sharkey's
World Watersports / Divers Direct is right next door so you can shop for any scuba related items you might need.
The Sea Dwellers crew did a great job, we had at most 14 divers on the boat at any one time, did 7 dives with them and 2 with Ocean Divers. We had great weather and was able to get in 4 dives on Friday/Saturday but only 1 on Sunday due to worsening conditions.
