Last minute overnight

We booked a last minute overnight here during a road trip. The hotel was very nice and clean - the only complaint was a hair on the shower floor along with a crack in the shower tub. Breakfast was excellent, and offered several options including healthier choices that most hotel breakfast's don't (egg white omelet and turkey sausage). We would definitely stay here again!

Dishonest

I had no problem with the stay, I had a big problem This Holiday inn wanted a $150.00 Deposit out side My room charge. The Lady at desk said I would get in back soon as I checked out. It's been 5days and I still hvnt. received My $150.00 deposit. I'm pissed upset and feel Ya'll are serious Stereo typing Ur guests. Bills are Here and Ya'll are still holding My $150.00 deposit. I asked her why so hi I never had to pay that much. It's always been $25.00 to $50.00. I guess ya'll only want rich people in ya Hotel huh? She said it's that high due to renovations. Why is that the customers issue and cost? I will share to ALL My friends and family and warm them of ya'll $150.00 deposit required...
