Holiday Inn can do better.

The hotel was clean. The bed was very uncomfortable to me. Hard as a rock. The screen in the window was so full of holes. I guess from a hail storm. Would have been nice to be told of this. Holiday Inn has tons of money, I’m sure they can replace screens. Doesn’t take much. Upon going to the Elevator on 3rd floor I noticed the cover off the Ice Machine. Brought it to the attention of 2 Desk Managers. Once within hours of arriving “was told they didn’t have a maintenance guy on staff and they would call someone” and once in check out. Was never fixed. Wide open, running with wires exposed. Nice lawsuit waiting to happen.
