I stay at a lot of IHG hotels. This one needs some work. The employee that checked us in didn’t seem to either listen or hear well. Once in the room there were problems, mostly in the bathroom. The tissue box in the container had 1 tissue and no spare box. In the shower, tiles were cracked and wall paper was peeling off the wall. The toilet seat was so bad and loose that we thought one of us was going to end up on the floor. These are all things that the housekeeping staff should have noticed, corrected, or reporter. The room itself was a bit dark on one whole side. As far as breakfast, the variety was good and kept well stocked. You wouldn’t know they had cranberry juice as there is no label on the machine and therefore you’d think it was nothing. One of the cereal containers is mislabeled and was everyday of my stay. They have several TVs in the dining area, but for the most part only 2 were on. It would be a much better hotel if they maintained it properly and hired some better people. Not sure I’d stay there again. Lots of other choices in the area.

The hotel was very good, my issue arose when dealing with the staff. Before I had arrived I had spoken with a worker over the phone about the tax exemption I had as I was bringing a group of students. Upon checking it the individual at the desk told me "the morning person has to do that." So I left a copy of my tax form with them. In the morning I am going to check out and I ask about it and I am told "the night person had to do that" I explained what I was told the evening before and then I am told that they will leave it to be dealt with. The problem never got fixed and I ended up having to pay my school back the tax out of my own pocket. Just very disappointing that they were not willing to help at all.
