"I checked in at 9:00 PM (excellent experience)
Entered my 80 degree room from outside (nice), but noticed immediately part of a candy wrapper on the floor at the foot of the bed. :(
I got the room cooled down using the windows and closed the white translucent rolldown curtain. Looking for the heavier curtains to block out the street lights... NOPE. The room was not equipped to block out outside light! I went to bed on a beautiful and comfortable king bed and was asleep quickly, but I awoke, startled, 2 hrs. later thinking I overslept because it was getting light outside... It was not, it was the parking lot lights outside :( !!!
That happened 3 more times thru the night!!!
I was very disappointed because Holiday Inn Express was a trusted vendor... but not this hotel.
I understand a maid missing a small scrap paper on the floor, but the lack of blackout curtains to keep the room dark for sleeping... NOT! I'll never stay in this hotel again. "
