9.4/10 Exceptional! (574 reviews)
Our family with 3 young kids had one of our best hotel experiences at Holiday Inn Nokomis. The hotel was immaculately clean, the staff was impressively friendly and eager to help, and the breakfast was delicious was plenty of options. We especially enjoyed the comfortable chaise lounge chairs and relaxing music by the pool after a day at the beach and the spacious lobby seating area. We plan to book another trip!
