The guy at the front desk was condescending. The room was dirty. Staying on the ground floor the blinds didn’t work. Looked like some cheap ass shower curtain for the window curtain.We’ve been staying at Holiday Inn Express for years when on vacation and this was the absolute worst. We left at 5am. Couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there…

Not hapoy

Asked for room near lobby or elevator since I use a walker Did that when I made reservation month ago. Got there and they gave me handicap room which was the furthest room from elevator! And I didn’t ask for. It was regular room with tub and 3 grab bars and seat. That’s not handicap and that far away from elevator! Do they think all handicap are in a motorized wheelchair to get to it???? Also gal called person in charge and she pretty much said take it or leave it. I’m IHG member and expected better

Scam alert

I went online to hotels.com and booked a king bed and when I arrived, they said they were sold out of kings and offered me a double queen and I told the lady at the desk I was not gonna spend four nights of vacation sleeping in a separate bed for my wife. The girl at the counter canceled my reservation but hotels.com still took me for $550
