The room was not properly cleaned when we checked in late at night and the ac did not work well. By day 3 it stopped working all together and I had to ask to be moved. The shower fixtures fell off the wall. It was a disaster. Worst hotel stay of my life. I was really disappointed as I have stayed at Holiday Inn Express and never had such a terrible experience.
