Horrible

I will never step foot in this place again. The fire alarm went off the first night twice, very loudly in room. Was frustrating but we got over it. The next night was complete chaos, the alarm went off EVERY hour if not more. Staff at first said kids were pulling it but there was no way. A family member of mine asked the staff about it and they said "I'm tired of hearing it too and I am tired of getting calls about it." Meanwhile, we are paying to stay there, and not sleep. We were not offered any compensation except points to spend money at another holiday inn at another time. While this was at least something, I would have preferred at least some money back seeing as it was impossible to sleep. These weren't just subtle alarms either, I am talking loud and giving me anxiety the entire night. The room across from us left because their kids were crying and scared every time it went off. I felt bad for the workers as some were so nice, but it truly was a horrible experience.

Stayed at hotel for one night, fire alarms went off every hour all night long. Supposedly not their first run in with this issue and no warning was given to us. You stay at a hotel to get a good nights sleep only to not get that what so ever. No contact from customer service on the issue

The bathroom was dirty, dirt in every corner of the bath tub. The whole stay, we didn't have hit water and they said they reset it, but we never had hot water. The fire alarm kept going off and the fire department was there. My grandkids were scared.
