Our check-in was messed up. I tried to provide a different card for incidentals than the company card I booked with and so my reservation was cancelled and it took forever to get it resolved. I finally just had to pay for it and get my company to reimburse me.
When we got to the room, immediately greeted with the smell of mold/mildew. There was standing water in the tub, the shower curtain was filthy.
The next morning we went to get breakfast - no milk, just an empty jug in the fridge, messy counter. The serving trays were also empty. We got down there at a reasonable time too - not like we were just showing up near the end. I was holding the empty jug and thought - well at least I can throw it away, but I couldn't even do that because the trash IN the dining area was so full it was HEAPED up to the point I couldn't set an empty milk jug on it or it would have fallen on the floor. Like - it was in a balanced heap with a peak at the top.
I honestly want to just give this one star, but even though our reservation got messed up, the lady at the front - Sharla I think - was trying to be helpful and juggle multiple things and made sure I didn't get double charged.
Also I really like Holiday Inns, so I don't want to leave a 1-star because I mean, I slept ok. It's not like the AC didn't work or it was just totally nasty. They just really need to put some more care and attention into this property.
