Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

2/10 Terrible
"This is not a place for a service dog as they didn’t relay that we brought ours and I was getting messages about mine the entire time not to mention the cleaners constantly complained about him to the front staff every few mins. We couldn’t take him to the beach due to over heating so I let them know I would be leaving him in the room while we went and I got messages multiple times of them complaining. They would knock on my door to see if he would bark. Needless to say we left early. Our room had old food left in the fridge and strawberry pieces on the floor from previous people. But it was just okay"
