I don’t think I could ever bring myself to stay at another Holiday Inn again, for as long as I live. I’m currently sitting in a basement “double queen suite” at 12:30am, being lulled to sleep to the sounds of the upstairs bar’s loud-ass bass music and a pack of, what I’m guessing is, Olympic double dutchers pounding on the ceiling above me. This is after my 9 year old son and I got stuck, literally locked in, your elevator about 45 minutes earlier. That ordeal lasted half an hour and involved calling the fire department and a near panic attack for my 9 year old. He never wants to ride an elevator again, so there’s that.
I made my way upstairs to let the staff know it was so incredibly loud in our room that no one could even attempt to sleep and it was already midnight. We were told that they would “check on it”. 12:30 rolls around and staff comes to our room to tell us the bar is open until 1 so it’ll shut down soon….. it’s a Thursday. Why the hell does a Holiday Inn bar need to stay bumping until 1am on a Thursday? Why would anyone want to stay here if the walls are bumping until 1 am every night?! Is the HI bar so profitable that it has to stay open until 1am every night?
And now, at 12:50am, I’m greeted by a new additional to this midnight symphony and that is the automatic water sprinklers pelting my ground level windows. This place sucks.
