Our door didn't lock properly in our first room, and on the first night when the AC started making a very loud noise (while in the off state) the only solution was to change rooms, around midnight. That was an inconvenience, but the rest of our stay was fine. Rooms were clean, breakfast is decent, only 1 encounter with 1 unfriendly staff, pool and gym were nice.

Okay

It was okayyy, the people on reception were nice. Unfortunately there were some negatives, the air con was really loud, they didn’t clean the room over the 4 days we were there. The breakfast was okay but it was also really busy - not the hotels fault. The location was good, but now you’re having a drink with that I guessthere was a lot of homeless nearby Overall for the price it was okayyy, it was the best value hotel when we’re looking. But if I were to return I would go for a more upscale hotel. Ultimately it was the price for us.

The only reason I did not give a five star is due to having to call to get towels and toiletries. We stayed two nights and no one ever came to clean our room or change out dirty towels for new ones.

Not again

There was nothing sitting there would be a hold on an additional $100 for incidentals on either website. It was not on IHG mobile app. It was not on hotels.com. It was not on the Holiday Inn website and it takes 10 days to put back on the card, which is not fair to the user since it’s not noted anywhere
