I stayed at Holiday Inn Express (Lenwood Drive, Barstow, CA) on 4/14 - 5/3/2019. I was planning to come back, so I made a reservation for 5/5 - 5/31. I checked out on 5/3 at around 6 AM and asked the Manager on Duty if I can leave my luggage in the hotel, since I'm coming back anyway in a couple of days. She declined to take it, citing the hotel does not want to be responsible for storing the luggage for any guest. I was flabbergasted. I've been travelling a lot - - - Diamond member at Hilton and Elite member at Marriott - - - and this was the first time that I ever heard of such policy. Needless to say, I cancelled my reservation and booked at a nearby hotel who agreed to stow my luggage.
I understand that this branch in Lenwood has a high occupancy rate. But is it a valid reason to cut down on customer service, especially to those who are coming back and have already made the reservation?
Another Issues:
1. Guest Laundry have only 4 machines, yet 3 of them were out of service during the duration of my stay.
2. Men's restroom on the 1st floor reeks with urine smell
3. Room 338 bathroom floor tiles are cracked

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at 2720 N. Glenstone Ave. in Springfield, MO, in room 527, on Thursday night, May 2nd. The condition of our room was unacceptable, and should not have been in the rental rotation. The bathtub coating was peeling, and a poor attempt had been made to repair it. We did NOT want to take a shower in the tub. It was disgusting. Our television in the room was also not working properly. I called the front desk, and a maintenance man promptly came to our room. He also could not get the remote to work, and went and got us a new remote, with new batteries. It still didn’t work, and he decided that the television was just very old, and needed to be replaced. The front desk offered to move us, but after a 9 1/2 hour day on the road, we were too tired to move all our bags, and just stayed. The front desk sent up free breakfast buffet tickets, but we needed to get an early start on another nine hour day, so we did not use them.
I feel that our room was in such poor condition, that half of our bill should be refunded. We had been staying at the La Quintas on our three day trips to and from Arizona for eight years. We decided to try another hotel that was a bit more “upscale”, and we were VERY disappointed in the quality of our stay. We certainly will reconsider staying at a Holiday Inn Express again.


I made a reservation with Holiday Inn Express, Las Cruces, NM...January 24, 2019.
I requested a top floor away from the elevator. We were given a room on the 3rd floor, when i questioned the gentleman, he said I must not have
contacted them personally. I checked my phone and yes I had called 575-527-9947 back in January. Then he said oh well you no a room
request can never be guaranteed.
If that is a true statement of Holiday Inn, why would I ever bother, and in the past why has there never been a problem..
This Guy, no longer a Gentleman, was a Takky Takky rude Man.
I will continue to stay at Holiday Inn when I travel, but everyone dealing with this guy should be made aware of his BS.

On 4/19/19 we registered at the Holiday Inn Express Shelbyville/Indianapolis, 38 W. Rampart St., Shelbyville, IN 48176. At 4 am the hotel lost power and there core no heat with the temperature outside at 39 degrees. My husbaNd requires a Medical machine which we could not use. We tried to sleep and ended up getting up around 7am and found no hot water and of course no breakfast. Now I realize that the power outage was not the fault of the hotel, but My husband was in the lobby right after the electric went off and the owner arrived and when he found out it was not the hotels issue he stated he was glad because he wouldn’t have to reimburse any guest. Now I did not receive what was paid for and I at least expected a partial reimbursement and did not appreciate attitude for something that wasn’t my fault either. Did not even receive any kind of apology, this was not a good business practice and next time I may have to look for a Marriott and it’s a shame cause we have stayed at that hotel several times. You need to trai. Your franchises better in public relations.

Someone tired to steal our truck 2010 Cadillac Escalade so we then had to have it towed to Cadillac to take it out of anti theft system lock. Well we had to stay here another night we are now staying here with no power power went out and not only that my key never works so I had to go downstairs to the front desk and give us a new key every time I came to my room!! I am very unhappy sacred with no power this is HORRIBLE!!!!

My wife had her first assessment for lung surgery at Barnes Jewish Hospital.
After checking in, we returned to the front desk for our "$10 parking permit". Charging a guest for parking is outrageous when they are there for medical treatment. My wife who is on oxygen asked Kevin (mgr) about places to eat as we were not familiar with the area. He told her he did not recommend places but preferred to let guests discover on their own. He told her to go left or right at the corner (Euclid). She stated since she required oxygen she was not able to walk around looking and asked him if we wanted Italian, would that be left or right? With other customers present, he continued looking for something behind the desk. Then, turned his head and asked her if she wanted him to spell it out for her! We were both speechless! Even the desk clerk was taken aback. Also, the room was poorly designed with no place to open our luggage, a corner sink with no counter space, bath towels were kept outside the bathroom and the carpeting was stained. It was not a relaxing stay for someone seeking medical care. It is promoted as being close and convenient to the hospital. It should be more accommodating to guests.
Thank You,

The Holiday Inn at the following address. 6921 South Lindbergh Boulevard. St Louis Mo 63125....We have stayed in this particular hotel 2 times, and both times have been awakened by house keeping before 8am. The people here are rude as hell. With the exception of the front desk lady named April. The swimming pool is cold as hell for being a indoor pool. The hot tub feels nice but all the jets are on the seat so they are going up your butt instead of on your back.

I am upset because when we book are hotel . They didn’t let us know about the pool Not working ,My kids was looking forward going swimming . They should put that on the website . I felt like I was cheated
Thanks ,
Maria

I called the Holiday inn Express in Pennsylvania to book two rooms which they said breakfast was Included However if I used my Military Discount I was not entitled to the breakfast. I was and am appalled at the way you treat our veterans and plan to let everyone know how your company treats our veterans

April 16, I called the Holiday Inn in Somerville Mass, 02143. 617-628-1000! I was confirming a event reservation for Jehovah's Witnesses on April 19, 2019! Front desk person name Amy answered! She asked me to repeat what I told her on function Friday 19? She raise her voice belligerently! She hung up! (I called back a young man answered I mentioned his coworker hung up on me told him reason of calling back he couldn't find any info) I called the Kingdom Hall! I was told the Memorial Jesus Death is at that location! I called back I got Amy! She said "you suppose to be a Jehovah's Witness you are rude!" I never said I was one of Jehovah's Witnesses! But I did encourage her attend the Memorial not accuse anyone anymore! Jesus did gave his life up for "rude" people my life forever as I am studying Bible try not to be rude! I am not perfect! Jesus provided pay my debt with his life to God for everones guilty crimes! That behavior is not acceptable to Holiday Inn! I hope she makes adjustments!

I stayed at the Holiday Inn St. Louis/FAIRVIEW Heights 313 Salem Place FAIRVIEW Heights IL 62208.
I arrived on 4/12/19 (MY Birthday) after 11pm when we got to the room it was very cold in the room we tried to adjust the temperature it didn't move. The vents was blowing cool air still. Let the front desk know the issue.
On Saturday 4/13/19 I left room early didn't get back until after 5 stopped at the front spoke with the young man at the front desk to let them know the it was still cold in the room and that the remote didn't work. He was very nice and came back up to the room to see if he fix it. And he wasn't able fix the issue. Another you man came up I think his name was Chad. He also tried to fix it seem to be blowing out warm air. I left the to go to dinner and another event. Got back to the room after 12am and it was blowing cold air again and you couldn't adjust the temperature it was stuck it wouldn't move at all. I was very disappointed with this stay we also had kids running back and forth in the hallway. I checked out on 4/14/19 early before 7am I also let the person Dale at the front desk know the the room was still cold.

On March 16th 2019 I made a attempt to check into the holiday inn & suites address 1600 East First Street Santa Ana, Ca 92701..I drove down from Stockton Ca which was about a 6hr drive I made the reservation for my daughters 13th birthday weekend we were going to Disneyland/California adventure upon arriving to the hotel we were a few hours early although I knew a room may not be available I still checked with the front desk which the very nice lady at the desk told me to check back in about a hour and she may have a room available... It was close to 12 o'clock noon so I drove to get a bite to eat with my daughter and her best friend to kill time I checked back about 1pm I was told a room was available she just needed a card and photo ID I handed both to the desk clerk and she stated that no prepaid cards were allowed so I said that's weird because this was the card I used to book the hotel as well as was charged $115.14 I assume for the deposit so I politely asked if there was anything else that could be done she said she'd get me an manager...so then came a manager by the name of Theresa who was not as pleasant upon seeing me she looked bothered like the first lady I encountered I explained the situation to the manager and asked is there anything that can be done I can pay a higher deposit or with a different card I had a credit card which she never even looked at but she said no we can not help you or accommodate you because need " a bank issued credit card" I asked why can't I just use any credit or debit card she states that it needed to be " bank issued" I explained to her that I was tired I had been on the road driving since 530am with 2 kids and just wanted to enjoy my weekend with my daughter and her friend for her birthday and that I had never heard of such hotel policy I advised this lady I was in no way trying to be problematic I just was tired and I didn't understand this " bank issue" card policy... I was trying to talk off to the side with her and she proceeded to the counter where another guest were checking in and advised me nothing could be done and she wouldn't accommodate me or my children nothing could be done embarrassed that the person next to me as well as the ladies waiting in the lobby behind me can hear me pleading with this lady to help me is outrageous so I asked for her name which she gave I then asked for the desk clerk name who was now helping the gentleman standing rite next to me name..the manger gave me a nasty attitude hit a button on the desk and told me I need to get out now and I don't need to identify the desk clerk just the manager but I need to go...get out!... I said really I have to leave for asking to identify a worker and now the people in the lobby are hearing this lady put me out of the property... I didn't want to cause any problem and also there were children and others present..I just left the property with little sleep and 2 kids and no place to stay 6hrs from home I couldn't risk driving home and falling asleep behind the wheel and I didn't want to disappoint my daughter for her big "13" I was devastated ...I called guest relations and opened a case and the lady in guest relation couldn't get in contact with the property to get a resolution but she says the property should have accommodated me or found a neighboring hotel so I was left driving around looking for a last minute hotel for the weekend I was left to stay in a motel 6 property which was not in the best shape for 2 kids but what choice was I left with...only to wake up Sunday morning to see another charge to the very same card for $100 so now that is $215.14 that was charged to me while being told by manager and guest relation that I would be refunded I had to call guest relation again and I was told that I would have a check mailed to me because your company does not hold on to customer card info which is crazy because my card was obviously charged twice now I cant get through to anyone to find out if my payment has been mailed...I have been on hold for over a hour on multiple occasions trying to reach guest relation I am utterly disappointed and disgusted in the treatment I received from this company and I hope another mother and child does not have to witness such shame and disrespect over a misunderstanding...I hope this reaches someone to have some type of action taken against this rude manager with obviously no customer service whatsoever

I am writing this letter on behalf of Ava’s Works Productions, to first thank you for the opportunity to stay at the Holiday Inn at 10000 Baltimore Avenue in College Park, Md. Your group sales person, Ms Crystal Walker was very professional and as accommodating as her abilities would allow. She was courteous, professional and showed us that she had our best interest at heart. However, there were multiple situations that would have us to consider using another facility on our return. Below are some of the concerns that need to be addressed:
On Friday, April 5th, the communication was poor between the guests and your staff. We were told breakfast would start at 9:00 AM which seemed strange and not the norm but there was no reason to question the clerk at the front desk. Because we were not given the breakfast tickets, the following morning could have been a disaster with 43 guests coming to breakfast "late" and not having breakfast passes. However, Ms Walker contacted me very early that morning with apologies, letting me know we needed tickets. She also contacted the front desk making them aware of the situation. They made tickets for us and informed me that the time we were told was incorrect. It was not my job to knock on doors, correcting problems created by your hotel. However, because of Ms Walker, we were able to diffuse a potential bad situation.
.On the evening of April 6th, I approached the front desk to get breakfast tickets for the next day. I was told by your front desk (A gentleman with an accent) that; “The hotel has changed the policy and you will not need tickets for breakfast tomorrow. Just go in and give your room number. Breakfast starts at 7:00am” I took his information and shared it with the group. The next morning, (April 7th), was chaotic. The Hostess was not kind in letting my group know that without coupons, you cannot eat for free. When I arrived, my entire group was standing, not knowing what to do. I went to the front desk and Ms Anita tried her best to quickly resolve the issue by writing up tickets to accommodate the group. She was very patient, friendly and accommodating to our situation. Please be advised that while this is all going on, there was a manager on duty (Mohamed Yansaneh) that watched his employees struggle to try and set things straight. After the group started eating, we were told the children’s free meal was only items from the menu and we would have to pay if they went to the breakfast bar. Unfortunately, everyone was already going through the line. We were never made aware of that prior to going through the line.
On that same evening, I brought the bus back to eat at the hotel restaurant 2 hours before closing. We could have gone somewhere else but everyone agreed to dine in your establishment. However after getting there, they were asked to choose the food bar instead of the menu because they may not be able to accommodate everyone. They were short staffed (2 people) That is poor planning on the hotel’s part because there were at least 2 other large groups staying there that weekend. Because they were short staffed, some of the parents ended up buying Pizza for the children which forced them to eat in your open area. That was acceptable other than the loud, vulgar language coming from the bar. Rowdy and loud can possibly be tolerated, however vulgarity is never acceptable. These children’s ears were privy to this and the Manager did nothing to stop it. Some of us were in the restaurant and some were in the open eating area but both places were forced to deal with that type of behavior. There again, no Manager ever tried to stop the loud cursing. I understand the high volume coming from a bar, but the vulgarity was insulting and disturbing to my group.
Our rooms were not serviced. When the group came back from the production the evening of the 6th, they had to call down for towels and other items while kicking dirty towels to the side. No beds were made and some had to come down to get clean towels.
Finally, your GM, Mr. Yansaneh was very disappointing to work with. He made no effort to assist any of the employees who were doing their very best to straighten out each problem. At check-out, there was a question of $129.00 that was thought to be due by us. I knew it was a zero balance and needed the manager to confirm. He made excuses and said he had no way to reach Ms. Walker who initially handled the account. He told me that I would have to wait until Monday to clear the matter up. I was not leaving the CC information of one of my investors accounts open to charge more. He was so non-challan and made no effort to help clear up $129 charge from an over $5,000 hotel bill. It was only when an associate of mine who has knowledge of hotel protocol started investigating which forced Mr. Yansaneh to finally reach Ms. Walker to confirm that our bill was clean.
While I commend you on the cleanliness and most of the courteousness of your staff, I have to say that, without making some type of restitution, I would not consider returning next year or referring my business associates to The Holiday Inn. Ms. Walker did her very best to work with us but there were too many large groups for one person to handle.
Thank you

My flight arrived 2 hours ahead of my sons and when I arrived at the Hotel @ 2 pm they told me the room was dirty and and they would contact housekeeping so I could get in there, I explained the reservation is in his name and I was told it wouldn’t be a problem me getting in the room as I am handicapped I had no problem waiting till 3, when I came back to the desk I explained them the situation to another person they told me the room was still dirty and asked me to wait another 1/2 hour, when I came back to the desk a 3rd time I was told it was STILL dirty it’s 3:30 at that point the gentleman who was helping me went and talked to someone out back and came back to let me know the room was clean and ready, I gave them My confirmation # and explained that my son Will arrive @ 5 and that i have crones disease and I needed to get to the room because I couldn’t take care of what I needed to in the main bathrooms, I was told they needed my credit card to be able to get into the room, I asked for a manager and spoke with Daniel and explained the situation once again, he out right refused to let me in the room without MY credit card, this is all in my sons name, I am elderly and handicapped, it’s not right that I am being treated this way!
My husband and I are ING members and stay frequently at Holiday Inns.
After this experience we will be sure to stay at other hotels in our travels.

I WAS KICKED OUT OF A HOLIDAY INN - EVICTED AFTER IT WAS RESERVED FOR A MONTH FOR MY 59TH BIRTHEDAY
THEY LOCKED MY ROOM AND TOOK MY KEYS BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY SMELED POT IN MY ROOM
WE CHECKED IN, MY GIRLFREIND SAID THEY BOOKED THE WRONG ROOM, SHE HAD THEM SWITCH RMS AFTER I WAS IN THE RM FOR 5 MINUTES
WE WENT TO RM NUMBER 2 UNPACKED, HIKED, ATE DINNER THEN WHEN WE RETURNED MY ROOM, THEKEY DID NOT WORK.
THE DESK CLERK STATED SHE WAS ASKED TO TELL ME TO LEAVE BECAUSE "THEY SMEELD MARIUANA SMOKE IN THE ROOM AND IF I DID IT QUIET THEY WOULD REFUND MY MONEY. THE SUPERVISOR REFUSED TO SPEAK WITH ME. WE WERE PUT ON THE STREEET AND I NEED UPPER MANAGEMENT. THE SOONER THE BETTER. WALLACETOM15@YAHOO.COM. VIOLATED, MISTREATED UNJUSTLY ACCUSED HERESAY

I have stayed at two holiday inn over the past several months. I probably won't be staying again. The reason is the decor is ULGY, very ugly to the point where it makes me anxious and aggravated. The decor is obnoxious, and does not feel inviting, welcoming or calming. While the beds are okay, and the staff professional and helpful, I simply cannot stay where I do not feel welcomed or calm.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Budd Lake N.J. for my daughters dance competition Groove Competition. A room block was provided to us. We have stayed in other Holiday Inns before for other dance competitions and I have had to call due to there times other guests were very loud etc but this time was horrendous.
There was a wedding room block at the same time we were here for the dance competition. We were initially on the 5th floor. In the afternoon the sounds heard of people having sex was very uncomfortable when I was in the hallway with my children. Upon our return from the competition this evening we got off the elevator and the smell of marijuana was overpowering. There was also a smell of cheap beer and the noise was a lot throughout the floor. When we got to our room the noise from the room next to us was so loud at 11 pm my family couldn’t get to sleep. I called the front desk to complain and the gentleman offered to move our room. At 11:15 pm I packed up my family and switched rooms while all were exhausted. I appreciate that there was at least a room to switch too because my next option would have been to check out.
There was quite a mix of guests in the hotel and quite frankly I felt concern for my children’s safety. Typically they will go from room to room with their dance friends and hang out but we did not feel safe to allow them to do so without supervision. My friend traveling with us had a drunk man try to enter her room! Very uncomfortable for families traveling with young children. The smell of cigarettes as you enter the hotel was disgusting and people congregating smoking their cigarettes at the entrance and in the evening it was drunk men smoking when we arrived. The bar is open in the lobby area therefore the drunk men and then the children being walked through the lobby with drunk adults loud and rowdy is not appropriate.
I had to call this to your attention and I will be sending a letter to the dance competition company as well. I would hope instances like this could be avoided in the future for traveling families especially here for an exciting event, dance competition weekend.

Your 1-800 reservation line which goes to India. I am a loyal IHG rewards member (488 905 379) and booking a room over your 800 line has become such an amazing PAIN IN THE ASS...I am now directing my employees to attempt to find any suitable option other than H.I. Express. The voice on the other end cannot be understood because of very heavy accents. They quote rates higher than the rates on line and you have to insist on the rate listed on your H.I Express web-site. I have no image to attach. The image I want you to put in your brain is a customer now searching for other lodging options...Imagine this image....see me "walking away" from H.I. Express and going to Marriott Courtyard instead.

Visiting Iowa for College visit. My son wanted a hotel with hot tub. We got there and it has a plat form built over it with a table a chairs. The Website shows a hot tub. Frustrating as that is what my son wanted prior to his college visit. Its the Holiday Inn Express in Coralville Iowa. my reservation number was 25415381. Our family was not happy. Up date your website. Please.

To whom it may concern,
My company uses the holiday inn express on a regular basis. I have been staying at one or the other holiday inn express hotels in the Chicago area every time I have a corporate meeting to attend. Every time we have an issue about them not having what they need for charging the room to my bosses corporate credit card (and HE makes the reservations!) The only person who has ever been helpful and knows what is going on is the gentleman manager I think his name is Muhammad? I’m not 100% but he is at the N Cumberland ave location in Chicago. Usually I thouroghly enjoy my stay until now.
As usual I was greeted with the same hassle over card payment for room, I explained to the female (she identified herself as a manager) that the Male manager knew what to do because this ALWAYS HAPPENS. I mistakenly believed her when she said “ok” and proceeded to request a card for “incidentals”. To my total shock this afternoon I discovered that the hotel had charged me $139 and change! Since I was unaware of this I also was confronted with multiple negative charges to my debit account because the hotel charge made my account NEGATIVE! I only use this card for minor charges so I do not maintain a lot of money in that account, basically a couple hundred goes in each week that I use for whatever. I immediately called the hotel, I have received an email outlining the fact they charged the WRONG card and initiated a refund. My problem is I am now incurring overdraft charges AND am not able to use my card because it is not yet showing up as a credit to my account! I am being punished financially and mentally stressed because your hotel made this error! I am extremely unsatisfied to say the least. Thankfully the overdraft charges are going to be minimal but it is still an incredible inconvenience. I honestly am not comfortable ever giving my card for incidentals in the future, I no longer trust I won’t be wrongly charged. I will attach the email proving exactly what I said happened. The same thing happened to my coworker who stayed that same night in room next to mine, however she evidently caught it sooner so was credited hers within an hour. Since it’s Saturday, I’m stuck because the banks are closed.
I am due back in Chicago in a month, depending on how this gets resolved will dictate if I request my company use a different hotel chain in the future. Any replies may be made to my personal email account, I merely had email receipt for refund sent to my corporate email so as to provide my company and manager a statement for record.

Good morning,
I am writing today to file a formal complaint of the Holiday Inn Express located at 9400 19th Lane Vero Beach, Fl. 32966.
My son's travel baseball team was playing at Dodgertime for the first time ever and we decided to book our room with the Holiday Inn Express. We booked our room in January, 3 people, for the weekend of 2/15-2/18. We drove in from Ft laudedale the evening of the 15th, arrived at your hotel around 6:30pm. We checked in went up to our room only to find out it was one bed for all of us. I went back downstairs to see what the mix up was, and was told that was the only room available. I explained when we booked we told them 3 people would be staying in the room, the gentlemen at the front desk verified that information to be correct, but proceeded to ask me if I requested 2 beds??? Are you kidding me? Wouldn't common sense tell you that if there are 3 people there should be more than 1 bed? He then said to me...well you never know now a days. Seriously?? I proceeded to call around to other hotels in area and because of this big tournament in Dodgertown all rooms everywhere were booked and I had no other choice but to cram us all into this room. I had to drive to a Walmart in the area to purchase an air mattress, blankets, sheets and a pillow...because yes, that same gentlemen said there were no extra bedding available. So, now I am paying 200.00 a night to stay in this room, and had to spend more money for additional accommodations for my son.
I have never been so disappointed in a hotel stay then I am right now. Not only for the 1 bed, the "friendly" front desk service, but the room stunk like sulfur. ( you all may want to check for mold). I can not believe for a big corporation as Holiday Inn that this is the service you provide to your guests.
I really hope that this is looked into and would love to hear your response to my complaint.

Checked into Holiday Inn Express Spring Hill, TN 02/14/19 and was not satisfied with my queen "suite". Only thing that made it a suite was addition of a couch. Asked to change to regular queen room, was told could not, even after being shown the regular room by employee on duty. And, if I wanted a credit on the suite had to vacate in five minutes. Directions came from same employee, Tonya Kitchings, who was very rude to me earlier in the day, when making the reservation. She had been contacted by evening employee by phone for direction. So, I could not rent another room and had to get out in five minutes. During reservation process, Tonya said price had gone up while she put me on hold and there was nothing she could do about it, and asked if I still wanted the room. I asked then if there was someone else who could help me, and she said no.
Have to say, not used to being treated this way. It was late in the evening, and very inconvenient.
Thank you.

When we were checking in at the reception on 2/2/2019 @ 10:45 pm. Mr. Cortez the receptionist was very rude. I ‘m trying to ask him about the breakfast that was paid already but he’s asking a paper as a proof for the payment. Anyway, while I am looking for the email, he keeps on talking that distracts me. Finally I found the email and showed it to him. Then he gave me the voucher for the breakfast.
My concern is that. This guy has no manners in interacting with the customer. Very poor customer service. I was so disappointed with my stay in this hotel. Rm no 3316 bldg 3

Credit cards and jewelry sold from hotel room

We checked in about 3 PM on Sat Jan 12. Dropped our bags off in the room #242. Used the bathroom before going out. We told the front desk there was some thing wrong with the toilet. We saw that renovations were going on on half of the floor. We came back to the room about 10 PM. Went to the bathroom to find that we had 2 towels for four people one being a child that is five years old. We found some one to give us more towels. Which came in handy when the toilet started to over flow. We called the front desk and they told us that nobody was on duty to help us. Seeing that we can't use the bathroom we wanted another room. We called the front desk again to see if we can change rooms. This time nobody answered the phone. I went downstairs to talk to someone but nobody was there. The phone were ringing like crazy. People started to come down to complain. Some people started to call your main office. About One AM someone came down and said he wasn't there because he had a flood on the 4th Floor. He gave us another room on the same floor #250. Which wasn't any better because we had to sleep with our jackets on. The only ones that was enjoying the room was the 4 brown bugs I had to Kill. If I didn't have something to do the next day I would have packed up and went home. The man at the front desk did tell us this was just a little better. We packet up the car at first light and went in to have breakfast. I thought cooks in the military were bad but your cooks made them look good. At checkout we told the front desk what we went through his answer was if i"m off i don't give a f__k, what goes on here. They took $40 off the bill and said have a nice day. I thought we should of been treated better. At least offered a complementary night on them at another hotel or maybe a weekend on behave of the company cause of how bad of a night we had.

I stayed at your hotel last night, I'm a single mom alone with three kids. I was aware my ride was going to be late and the front desk was made aware of this as well. As people often do this person I was depending on wasn't to the hotel on time to get me. So what was I told?? That if my ride wasn't there by 2:30 that we had to leave. Thank you so much for making an already very stressful situation for my family, a whole lot worse. A man that I was told does matainace treated us the worst. We we're scared and upset a little understanding wouldn't have hurt anyone. It was made clear to the desk staff I would be having to wait in the hotel a little while. I had no control over how quickly my ride picked us up. So with hardly and money at all I went across the parking lot to the restaurant there. And u know what they treated me with more kindness respect and understanding. I am disgusted by the way your staff handled this! I promise I will tell everyone who will listen about u throwing a mother and her children out in the cold. I hope the roles are never reversed and u are alone and scared. Because maybe the world will show u the compassion you failed to show us

Ive stayed at this location quite often check my account.I use all my points or pay at this location.
My issue is 2 things.There is only one elevator and has been for awhile and always a crowd waiting for because there is only 1.
An even bigger issue is the fact that the door nearest the elevator is not secure anyone can walk in-and-out of the hotel and I have seen it happen especially when Bar Louie is having something that is an safety issue. That's a problem!
I have addressed this before and nothing has happened and that door has been this way at least 4 months that I'm aware of.
I decided after my last stay that I wont be staying at this location anymore and it's very convenient for me and I use to enjoy staying in matteson but I need to feel safe. It's very unfortunate.
Thanks,

I made a reservation to have a dinner dance (inauguration of Officers for Zambales Association) at 5655 Greenwich Rd. Virginia Beach Virginia 23462; to be held on April 13, 2019; I consulted Ms. JoAnn Sipe on December 2018 and she confirmed that Holiday Inn can accommodate us to have our event. The menu, date, and priced are all confirmed on January 4, 2019 by Ms. JoAnn Sipe and me.Before hand, when I was talking to her, she told me that we are the first to served for April 13, 2019, we do not have a problem
On January 08, 2018, Ms JoAnn Sipe notified me that April 13, 2019 was completely book and we will not be able to hold our event on the contracted date. .

Made reservations at the Holiday Inn Express on Bintu Lane, in San Marcos, for January 19th, one night, leaving on the 20th. I could not find my email confirmation on this reservation, and requested another one be sent to me. At first she told me there were NO reservations in my name for that date, then said yes, she would send me an email confirmation on it.
I never received my email confirmation, and the lady that I was talking to was NOT very friendly. Also, your online price now for that exact room is $85.49....when I made this reservation back in December, it quoted me a price of $118.19. I asked if I could get this room for the $85.49 price on the 19th of January, and she gave me a flat out NO.
I think this entire situation is a very bad public relations deal....discourages me from making reservations ahead of time. I did this because I wanted to reserve a Handicap room, with roll-in shower, ground floor. I was told at the time of making this reservation that it was the LAST room available on that date. It also, discourages me from staying at any more Holiday Inn Express Hotels. Haven't even stayed my night yet, and are already unhappy with your service!

fradulant use of my credit card. had to leave early for family emergency

Hotel removed my & my finances personal belongings from our room while it was still occupied by us, with a do not disturb sign displayed. Hotel did not return our belongs, did not provide us with reimbursement, no explanation, no ownership, no sense of urgency and no follow up. they told my fiancé their is nothing they can do, and they do not know where our belongs are.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Hiawassee, Georgia this past weekend for our son's wedding. Housekeeping never cleaned our room i.e. taking out trash, making beds, taking out used towels and replacing them with new ones. I went to the Manager on staff after 3:00 P.M. He said, "there is no excuse, apologized, and told me to place the wet towels on the furniture in foyer." He said, "it won't happen again and proceeded to get me towels." My husband and I are both disabled and I had to roll the towels in my walker to get them to the room!!! The next day we came back to the room and the same thing happened again. NO HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE!! I went back to the front and the same manager was on duty. He didn't apologize for the lack of service this time and handed me plastic garbage bags to clean the trash myself. I called Guest Services; was told to wait 48 hours for resolution; nothing happened; and we were still charged the full amount for our stay. I will be glad to post this on all the travel sites and blogs to make people aware of this travesty. confirmation number46560709

The general manager of the Hopkinsville, KY Holiday Inn falsely accused me of threatening an employee in the parking lot. I didn't do it. She embarassed, humiliated, and bullied me off the property! This woman threatened me with trespassing charges and told me she would call the police on me. There were witnesses onlooking this. A civil suit is what's going to happen.

My Complaint is that while I'm a regular customer each week of a two night stay. I find it very dishearten that the kitchen staff on the weekend are very rude and very uneducated about personal hygiene and customer service when helping the customers. The staff wants to serve warm milk as the fridge is broken and food is prepared with no gloves or hairnets. The kitchen weekend staff are rude and customer service training is needed. A staff member has asked me to not enter the kitchen as I stood in the door way of the kitchen to ask for a tray. The staff member went on to make negative comments about me as the customer to another employee. Not sure if the facility has ever had Customer Service training 101 or not? My suggestion is that someone hire up check on what the issue maybe with the following Holiday Inn Express Salisbury, NC location.

Stayed at this hotel in August. Was overcharged for an additional 3 days after we checked out and left the area. Tried to contact the management to settle the dispute. Management never returned my phone calls. Amount in question is $503.00. This is not insignificant. This hotel is running some sort of scam, double charging for their rooms. They charged us for a room that we did not use for three days. Room must have been given to another consumer who also was charged. Will NEVER stay at another Holiday Inn anywhere. Fraudulent practices.

I am filing this complaint as a rewards member # 165459801, who is a frequent business traveler and stays at many hotels. Upon attempt to check-in, the front desk staff completed paperwork and stated he would call my cell when room was ready. Please note, he did not call, I had to call the holiday in staff member. When I checked into the room, I was shocked at the condition. The pillows were flat and you could tell were old and worn as well as the sheets, towels and duvet. Please see attached vent from the bath room that was filthy as well an unhealthy. Although there was a vent in the bathroom, it was nonoperational. I asked for additional coffee and was told no as the limit is two Kuerigs' per room. This is sad response for a hotel staff member to tell a guest. The hotel is providing a service and being paid.
I am one not to complain however the quality of this hotel is unsatisfactory. I am requesting rewards points for one night in this category hotel due to the inconvenience. Please respond to my cell: 727-249-4698.or email.
Thank you,

I reserved 2 rms for my HC like I do every yr for the past 15 yrs. When I arrived on 10/18/18, I was told their was only 1 rm reserved. I awoke to hotel staff walking in, so, I approach the front seat to fund out that I was charge a no show fee on the rm the rep couldn't find the day before when I chk in. When I attempted to shop, I was inform that the $1900 I had to spend for the HC weekend were exhausted by the Holiday Inn I was staying in. I arrived back at the hotel and demanded a refund as my account had been charge 5 or 6 times totaling $1900+ for 2 rms for 24 hr period. I was promised by David Cochran & David Littlefield at the 6200 N. Robison Ave in OKC 73118 that I would be charged for 2 nights instead of 3 and my funds would be returned to my account by Saturday at the latest Monday 10/22/18. In speaking with my bank, it was recommended that I file a complaint as Holiday Inn should have returned my funds to my account when the mistakes were made and I should file a fraudulent form for the egregious conduct displayed towards me, a loyal consumer. So I am trying to find out what I need to do at this point to get my money returned to my account. Please call me at 918-219-6424 or email me at gvswilson@hotmail.com please. So very disappointed and angry about the way this was handled.

We arrived at 930 pm in Richwood, KY. Had booked the only room avail. When we entered the room it smelled like a mixture of filthy carpet, mold and cat urine. I immediately went to the desk to complain. Clerk said there was no other rooms and she couldn't do anything for us, except take 20 off and switch our room for the next night. When I went back to the room my husband Stepped by the bed and his sock was SATURATED with something wet. We put towels on the floor and by morning they were soaked. We then Looked around and checked the bed on the other side and the whole floor was soaked under the whole bed. I'm sure the air conditioner was leaking for who knows how long. In the mean time, the smell kept me up all night, I was all stuffed up, had a headache and had to take my inhaler. I was furious and went to the desk to tell the girl. I asked for the manager and she told me there was no manager there and she took my phone number to give to the manager. I told her I could not believe they rented a room out in this condition and the whole night should be complimented for our misery. She said she couldn't do anything about it and would have the manager call. The manager never called us to rectify anything. I feel we deserve a full refund for that night. Any decent business would make this right with their customer. I feel like we were just ignored with this complaint.

We were solicited to participate in a 2 hour presentation for the holiday inn club vacations. To start, making the reservation was quite a time consuming and frustrating endeavor that I won't even get into. My issue is with the promised $100 voucher at the end of the presentation. We did eventually get it in the mail, and filed it for future use.
About 6 months after our stay when we wanted to use it, we were informed that it had expired. No one told us it had an expiration date during the presentation. I don't understand the rationale for an expiration date on something like this. It was a surprise to us.
When I called them they said sorry, too bad (my words), but I could tell they had no sympathy at all.
You have one unhappy/disappointed customer.

I am currently staying at your hotel. I came out to celebrate my granddaughter birthday I have two adjoining rooms. There are know complimentary gifts for your guest.unless you are a spire,platinum, or gold member. I wish water could be offered to all guest. They use to offer a complimentary drink.

Found a cockroach and room smelled moldy

Just checked in at your Holiday Inn Express 1686 Beach Blvd, Biloxi, Ms and was told a lightning strike damaged the elevator, ice machine and computer last night. I have had both knees replaced and a back surgery & need both shoulders and neck surgery age 64. My wife has rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and back, neck and knee problems and we both have problems climbing stairs. Luck for us we are on the 2 nd floor but had plenty of things to pack including an ice chest that a guest helped me with . We brought our 4 & 10 year old grandsons for a short trip to the beach before school starts. I feel we should receive a reasonable discount for the lack of services that should be expected by all guest but especially those who are handicapped. I asked that we be moved to first floor for tomorrow night but didn’t get a response from the staff. Please email me with a response & a call to 337-592-3452. Thanks

I recently stayed in your hotel in Orlando,Florida at the Holiday Inn water park suites I booked 3 rooms to accommodate myself and grandkids I was appalled at the nastiness of the rooms the toilet had so much mold in it that my seven year old granddaughter was traumatized and didn’t want to sit on any of the toilets on this entire vacation there was mold on the shower walls the kitchen sinks has so much scum around the rim I was just disgusted. The service was horrible I would ask for towels and it would take an half of day to receive to receive them I was even told they were out of washcloths until Tuesday!!! It appeared to be a very busy time at the hotel but that’s no excuse for The dirtiness!! I had rooms 1323, 1325, and 1327 on July 20-24th. You all need undercover boss to this hotel site and a mom panel to show you guys how to properly clean a room!!!


Staying at Holiday in Thessaloniki Greece. It is 4:39 am. The room stinks to high heaven like sewer. The air condition unit has been leaking and flooding the room. Hotel management promised to fix the problem but did not do anything about it. The packed the floor around the unit with towels and told me "thechnitian comes tomorrow. The other rooms I offered were even worse. One had a very loud AC - the other had an AC unit that was located right next to the bed. I am still staying in my room and feel very disappointed and upset. Feel that my holiday has been badly effected by the lack of service and care of what is supposed to be quality 5 stars accommodation. I want to be compensated for my pain and suffering.


Dear who may concern
I Daly patto stayed in holiday inn Osaka I was very desppointent my family and came all the from Australia to Japan to stay at holiday inn we always had great expreince staying in holiday inn but Osaka holiday inn it's dirty it smelled.

I'm very disappointed with holiday inn this time.
I'm going to put bad review on trip adviser.
Thank you

I, Sherry West ,resided at the Holiday Inn , Strongsville, Oh, on 7/12/2018 - 7/14/2018.After checking out I emptied all garbage into the trash can, which included cigarette buts, ashes, and other items. My husband would frequently go outside to smoke. he'd keep his ash tray to prevent littering. I checked out on the 14th of July. before I check out, I personally went to my both rooms I rented and cleaned the room due to,(OCD). My account should have been closed when I checked out, however, it wasn't. The following day, Holiday Inn Hotel garnished $250.00 x 2 , from my account. accusing me of smoking in the room. I don't smoke, and I don't allow my husband to smoke around me, or onside a room any room that I'm in. Because house keeper spots cigarette buts in the garbage can isn't sufficient evidence of smoking inside the hotel room. I never left my room during my stay no one had smoked anything inside the hotel. 500.00 was garnished because there was assumed evidence of smoking. I am asking for a full return of $500.00. Im requesting my deposits incidentals which was $35.00 x2, for two days which is $140.00. Do to the false accusations, I have been inconvenienced tremendously. I lost 2 clients because my money has been tied to a false accusation.Im asking that my money be returned immediately, and an apology from the staff who assumed i was smoking in the room, because they spotted cigarette butts in a garbage can while cleaning the room. I deeply regret staying at the Holiday Inn at Strongsville, Oh.
truly,
Sherry West

I have been a member of your Holiday Rewards club for over 30 years. At the last stay I had on June 21 / 22 at your facility 4575 E Ira Lane in Phoenix AZ, I was told that before I could check in that I must let them run a credit card with $.01 on a tab in case I damaged their facility. Is this a new policy? Also the $.01 is still on my credit card, it has not been removed. What is going? Is this the way long term user of yours of your facilities are going to be treated from now on?

June 16 or 17th ... $915.99 was taking off my bank card. And I cancelled my reservation june 19th cause I don't hv that kind of cash just laying around. And I waiting on the return of my money!!! It would be nice to notify someone that ur takin out the full payment for a hotel stay!!! Cause i could use that $915.99 for my bills and rent that im behind on.
Poor service !!!

Let me just start off by saying the gentleman who checked me in was very nice and pleasant. My first complaint is I was promised early check-in I did receive a phone call around 10:30 a.m. inquiring about the early check-in and asked me if I wanted to be upgraded to a sweet but unfortunately I cannot upgrade. Then I was told around 1:30 I should be able to check in early before 3 p.m. I then called about to due to me not hearing from anyone and they at the front desk how did Vice that I could not do it until regular check in at 3 p.m. . As I got to my room after that there was a clump of hair on the pillow case the outlets to plug in your devices we're hanging out of the socket which had to be pushed in by myself. The bedside lamps did not turn on at all. The bed was very uncomfortable needs a new mattress. The guests in the other room next to mine were very loud as they were in and out a couple of times in the middle of the night and this was a joining room so you could hear better then normal and I was not joining with the other guests. The server for the breakfast has to really change attitude when she is asked questions as to where items are found. I was really expecting a higher-quality loom and service as to where the hotel is located at. Very disappointed and glad I only stayed for one night. I will not return back to this location

I made a reservation for 6-21-18 at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin South 701 East Stassney Lane Austin....Phone number 512-851-1000.
I made a reservation a few weeks prior and was not able to stay with Holiday Inn on 6-21-18. I called to cancel and was told I could not cancel. Due to me making the reservation in advance and receiving a discount for doing so. I ask if I could reuse the reservation in the future, no answer. I was transferred to the manager Tonya. I left a message with Tonya on 6-20-18. No return call. I called back on 6-22-18 and left a message. I was hung up on .I called back and left a message for Tonya.
My complaint is no one has called me back to date!!
The I don't care attitude and hiding behind a big corporation has become tiresome to people. I will file my complaint and take my business elsewhere.

We were NEVER told there would be a charge for my 5# dog. So called "pet friendly " is not adequate. I have stayed at many luxury motel/ hotels, and have NEVER been charged or had to sign a contract. How bizarre and disappointing. We will NEVER stay at another Holiday Inn Express with or without a pet( family member)

Witness employee stealing from guests! Victor Lawson, banquets , Donald, night houseman.

Made reservations on Feb. 20 for a Holiday inn Express in Minneapolis Minn. for a family wedding and reservations were confirmed. On May I was notified that my reservations were no good. I called the Holiday Inn Express and they told me that the had overbooked and because I did not pay with a credit card I was being cancelled. Talking to Bridgett she really didn't care that I made my reservations on Feb 20. I believe Holiday Inn Express should have notified me before May 1 when the wedding is on May 5. I will not use a Holiday Inn ever again.

Reservation was cancelled 4 days prior to reserved date due to urgent matter.
Holiday Inn Indianapolis Carmel 251 East Pennsylvania Pkwy Indianapolis IN 46280 US
The Hotel charged me 148.73 due to a third party Sitesearch LLC 2 week policy.
I pleaded with them that they might understand the urgent matter.
They refused to reimburse the payment.
This is certainly bad business and will tarnish the Hoiday Inn reputation.

To whom it may concern:
I traveled to Virginia Beach this past weekend to celebrate my 25th birthday. After enjoying a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at a Virginia Beach hotel, I traveled to Norfolk and checked into the Holiday Inn Virginia Beach/Norfolk on Greenwich Road. Unfortunately, my stay at this Holiday Inn was one of the most terrible hotel stays that I have ever experienced. After checking into the hotel, there were a number of issues that made my stay, and my birthday weekend a very disappointing get-away.
Included below are the issues and concerns that I encountered during my stay:
1) The side chair in our room had a very obvious and somewhat disgusting stain (see attached photo).
2) I was unaware that there was a conference at this location. The conference attendees were quite loud
and obnoxious. When we returned from dinner, we were unable to get on elevator because there was
flash mob dancing in front of the elevator.
3) Once we were able to finally get to the elevator, there was a repugnant smell made me nauseous.
4) When we finally prepared from bed and pulled the sheets back, there was black stringy hairs on the
sheets (which made me think that the housekeeping staff did NOT change the sheets). I called the front
desk and explained the situation, and they agreed to bring us replacement sheets. After waiting about 10
minutes, a bellman knocked on the door and handed me the sheet. He appeared to have an attitude
and instead of coming in and replacing the sheets or apologizing for the inconvenience, he said nothing
and turned around and left.
5) I was already disgusted that I had to look at the obviously slept-on sheets, but I feel it was very
inappropriate that I would have to change the dirty sheets that should have been clean to begin with. To
my dismay, the replacement sheets that were up by the front desk did not include a fitted sheet - only two
top sheets. To top this off, one of the replacement sheets was dirty!!
6) Trying to rest in a bed that you sense is not clean is disturbing, but the noise level from the conference
attendees traveled up from the lobby making it impossible to rest. Our room was on the sixth floor, but
we could STILL hear the very loud noise convention attendees (who were screaming, singing, etc.).
7) The crowd finally settled down around 2:00 am and we were finally about to get to sleep. However, I
was startled awake by a loud banging on my door by some drunk idiot!
This letter is to express my concerns that the hotel was not at the level that I expect when I think of the Holiday Inn franchise. I feel that it is the responsibility of Holiday Inn staff to ensure that all guest feel accommodated and comfortable. The lack of clean furniture, odor control, clean and fitting sheets, courteous bellmen, and crowd control all contributed to my having a horrible stay for my birthday celebration. From my frequent stays at the Holiday Inn, I have come to expect so much more than the service I received at this hotel.
I travel often and usually ask for a late checkout during my stay, but given my experience at the hotel we left the next morning at 7:45 a.m. because we were simply outdone with our stay at this Holiday Inn. Even though the front desk was staffed with two employees as we walked out, no one bothered to speak or bid us a good stay. I am truly disappointed with the Holiday Inn Virginia Beach/Norfolk and felt compelled to write a letter to express my disappointment. Hopefully, your corporate office can do something to improve the level of care and attention of this location.
EDIT: It’s been almost 2 weeks. Since I posted his on Holiday Inn Norfolk- Virginia Beach and no one has reached out to me.

I stayed 2 nights at the Holiday Inn Express in Simi Valley. The 2 nights cost $311.00, and was not worth it. The first evening we ckecked in the room, the air conditioner didn't work, the toilet kept running and the sink smelled like a sewer. I told the counter clerk; we were then moved up a floor to the opposite side of the building. In our "new" room the cable was not in service both days, I asked one of the cleaning staff member for some extra towels, which I did receive 2 for all 3 of us, but it took nearly 10 min just to communicate with the house keeping worker.
He didn't speak or understand a single word of English. When I did laundry my money was taken out of the machine while I went to get change. I think I finally lost my patience when some man, which I learned later was a maintenance employee was banging on my hotel room door; and kept trying to come inside my room. When i asked who it was surprisingly no response (no English) . As I mentioned all of these mishaps while staying at this hotel, the person at the front desk apologized but did nothing more. Why would a hotel say "satisfaction guaranteed or your stay is free" and not live up to it.
This hotel didn't even return my calls after leaving messages for Manuel General Manager. I will not be going back there again.


The carpet was so filthy we had to lay the bath towels on the floor in order to walk around. There were spots of blood on the comforter and sheets. Could not switch rooms it was full. Told by Holiday Inn customer service we could not get a refund for 5-7 business days. It was all the money I had to spend for a special weekend with my partner. This was a complete failure and disappointment. We stayed friday and saturday night, check out on sunday. By the time saturday morning, by 1:30 am the headache started, then the vomiting.
By the time we checked out we both were extremely ill. With the filth being stirred up from the carpet it is surprising we only had to suffer from saturday morning (1:30 am) through wednesday. I have all the samples needed to started the process of having this looked into by the appropriate authorities. This was appalling and disgraceful. We will never stay at another Holiday Inn.

I stayed at the holiday in at 1301 belvidere rd. west palm beach fl room 609 on 4/ 13/16. The room carpet was filthy lot of stains. Bathroom floor dirty. And sheets did not smell very good I travel to WPB 4 times a month. First time at the holiday in. No more for me. The stay in another hotel was much cleaner room yours truly.

Great spot to stay. You will not see many Holiday Inn complaints or negative reviews on the internet because the corporate office does such a good job of keeping the hotels clean and well maintained. If I cannot book a nice 4-star or 5-star hotel, I always go with Holiday Inn.

I love travelling in most of my vacations along with my family and I need everything to be perfect and peaceful. When I was browsing I got to know about Holiday Inn Hotels with reasonable prices, pleasant atmosphere and family-friendly services. I got a wonderful discount offer in this trip up to 30% and i have opted to step into Holiday Inn for my next vacation. Holiday Inn also arranges Groups and Meetings events, birthday parties, membership, club offers. You can book the reservations online at anytime and also get the travel advisory tips for your long trips. Wow, it's really amazing.

We visited Holiday Inn Express in Moab on May 29, 30, 31 of 2022.
When we first arrived, the 2 queen room that we booked and reserved on line had been given away, but thankfully, the receptionist gave us another 2 queen room. I think she had to give us a riom from someone who had not arriced, but I was thankful to have it.
However, after the next evening arrived and our room had not been cleaned, trash emptied, towels refresh, etc, we asked the manager at front desk about this. She very ugly and rudely replied, "We don't HAVE to clean your room, due to covid." We were shocked at her attitude, and her reply. We had booked for 3 nights, and had to stop the maid in the hall to get clean towels, and coffee
I have always had a good opinion of Holiday Inn. For just a few dollars more, we could have stayed at the Hyatt Place, or if we had wanted a low budget hotel, the Motel 6 just down the street. But we never imagined that the treatment and service at Holiday Inn Express would be SO poor.
We spent top dollars for the hotel visit, and did not receive even minimal service or accommodations.

After I had checked out they let my daughter extend the stay on my card (she wasn’t even on my reservation), and then tried to run it for 10 extra days. I had called the front desk three times to let them know that no one was allowed to stay in my room after I had checked out and they forgot to pass on the information. There were $500 in damages to the room and they're still trying to make me pay for it.

I made a reservation at the bullhead city Az location on may 30/22 due to the pictures on line on your website of a indoor pool
I called about the pool hours about 10 hours before check in and spoke with Lisa who was by far unprofessional quoting this is a new hotel you know so the pool has no water ! I said this is why I choose this hotel because my kids wanted to swim in the indoor pool ! Lisa said well it’s to late to cancel ! I said but it’s false advertising!!!! She said oh no we took off the pictures of the pool from our website ! I said no you did not and I have photos from your website proving the website shows photos of a indoor pool with water !!! I told her I won’t be keeping this reservation due to misleading website ! And said I still have to pay ! I was charged $160 and I never even stayed there! I was looking forward to staying at the hotel but unfortunately due to misleading pictures of a indoor swimming pool I canceled but still charged $160!!!


Worst experience. Room was not clean and in a very dark deserted area of the hotel - when I asked the front desk to Change my room I was told they could not. The hotel could not accommodate me with a clean safe room and charged me to cancel my reservation. I addressed this with the Holiday In Corporate office and they did not assist with a refund. I asked to escalate the matter to management and was told the team
Leader does not take calls. Never in my life have I been treated so poorly by a hospitality company. extremely poor customer care

Holiday Inn,
I stayed at the Holiday Inn Alexandria La. downtown 5/20-5/21and I have to say - worst hotel ever
I know you probably won't reply - yet it was so bad I feel the need to vent
1) _ over 20 people in line - and only one attendant
2) - manager walked by and no interest in helping
3) staff very rude
4)- over 45 min to get sandwich from deli
5) only 1/4 roll toilet paper in room
6) plaster dropping from ceiling in numerous areas
7) roaches in urinal
8) only one elevator working
9) 2 toilets in ladies room backed up
10)-trash overflowing in lobby restroom and lobby
11)-shower head on opposite end than drain - have never seen this
12)- shower curtain ripped and falling
13)- took over 2hr to get blanket from front desk
14) - worker standing around doing nothing
HOPE YOU CLOSE THIS PLACE DOWN - ITS A DISGRACE

Booked The holiday inn at the pavilion in Myrtle Beach in February for May 23 through May 26. Specifically said we wanted the high-rise hotel oceanview and we were told we had the high rise hotel oceanview after we booked it. When we checked in we were told that they only have one oceanfront view room available and it was in the smaller hotel as if we didn’t book it three months before. We talked to other guests there and they booked their rooms a month before and they were in the high-rise hotel oceanview. The carpet in our room was disgusting we couldn’t walk on the carpet without shoes on because our socks or feet would turn black from walking on the carpet. The smoke detector chirped for three days and no one change the batteries. Because we were not in the high-rise part and we were on the first floor of the smaller building we had to listen to the loud motorcycles in the parking lot next to our room which would not have happened if we got the room we originally booked and told we had. I paid for something I did not receive I paid for something that was not afforded to me that I was told I had I expect a response to this complaint.

The Plymouth Minnesota hotel has the worst customer service desk clerk ever. When I asked for the managers phone number I was told she would hand it to me. When I stepped forward to get it she asked me to leave and called the police and proceeded to lie to the police about me yelling at her. Luckily I recorded the entire conversation and never yelled. On top of this she said she would give information after we called the police and again never did. Worst experience ever. Basically don’t lie to the police

My husband recently stayed at the above hotel from 5/5/22 - 5/9/22. He was locked out of his room because of a broken lock that was supposed to be fixed the day before. He comes back to his room on 5/8/22 and can not get into his room. He waited out side his room from 9:15 pm to 11:00 pm until maintenance finally arrived to fix it. He then had to be relocated to another room, this is all after being exhausted and needing to get rest for his trip back to New Jersey from South Carolina. I am his wife and I spoke to a staff member that night, who claimed to have spoken to management about the situation and a refund of a $300.00 was suppose to be returned and that did not happen. I am beyond pissed and I need management to correct this unacceptable type of service.

I have been trying to a group booking of 30 rooms for a team event and have had no luck. I then attempted to speak with hotel manager who was beyond rude refused to give me his name and hung up on me. Then proceeded to call me back and cancel my individual reservation with the hotel.
I am not sure how this level of service is allowed in such a well established organization!!!

I booked a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Twin Falls, Idaho several weeks in advance of my stay, of May 6, 2022. I reserved a room with 2 queens beds. When I arrived the room contained a king bed and a pull out cot. My friend agreed to take the cot and said she was miserable all night due to springs poking her. Would you explain why my initial reservation was changed without my knowledge or permission? Thank you, Donna L. Corless

I have been a strict vegetarian for 28 years. I bit into a piece of ham in my veggie omelet!!!!

We booked a night for a layover in Dallas at the Holiday Inn express 4550 West John Carpenter Freeway Irving Texas. After getting our background we called for a shuttle and was told it would be 15-20 min after waiting 40 minutes I called again to be told it would be another 10 min the shuttle arrived 20 min after that phone call and an hour from my first phone call. Once we arrived the staff we called the front desk to get our coffee maker fixed or a kettle for hot water as we had not eaten and needed hot water for the mr noodles, staff said they would call right back and 20 minutes later they called back with no solution, rudely telling us they were busy dealing with other customers. We have stayed at many Holiday Inns in Canada but I guarantee we will not be staying at another Holiday Inn.

Brighton CO HOLIDAY Inn Express no people clean the room

It is so sad I have to give a bad review because my stay and staff were pleasant. However I work for the Government and we must have receipts to be reimbursed, and I have never had an issue with obtaining a receipt after a stay at an hotel, However I have now been trying to obtain the receipt for about 3weeks with no resolve! This particular hotel is currently closed for renovations and customer service has NO clue how to assist during the closure of the hotel. Apparently because the reservation was made with no email attached the hotel is the only source that can add it to have the receipt emailed to me. I have asked and escalated this matter 4 times for an alternate solution to assist, and everyone is so dumbfounded on what to do its really amazing. It is BEYOND ridiculous at how a chain this BIG has no work arounds in place for something as small as a receipt request! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! I have also made the request for our regional booking agency to NOT book us with IHG any longer its to much hassle literally over nothing, I would hate to see how they would respond to an urgent matter...

No rooms ready a 4 pm and bad customer service because I am latino the lady in front asked me if I have enough money to pay the hotel I am membership for holiday inn express and I use the same company old the time alot times in the year but everything going to change they don't fix nothing .

My adult granddaughter was embarrassed and belittle by an employee in front of multiple other guests this morning over her lack of having shoes on., she was making a cup of coffee was told it was a health code violation to be out of her room without shoes on .. proceeded to tell (yell)her a second time as she was going to set her cup down and go get them embarrassed she went back to our room he stood at the top of the hall watching her til she got to our room.

First of all I was charged more then what was agreed to when i called to make reservation. On top of overcharging me i arrive from the airport to check in and they hit me with deposit fee thst they assured i would get back upon check out , the front desk was extremely rude and even after paying all of it i had to wait 4 hours to get in room! They only had one working elevator which caused ridiculous amounts of time waiting to get anywhere, manager was no help and zero hospitality and i paid over 400$/night plus deposit. Its been over a week and still havnt got it back and no help when i call i get put on hold or told someone will contact me but they dont.

I was charged for a night I didn’t stay, talked to Vanessa at and she said it was my fault.
Made a reservation when your company sent me a email for a special 105.00 night reservation number 26691343 for March 12, 2022, got to the hotel at 7035 Western Drive Indianapolis, In and lady at the front desk said the reservation was cancelled.
Made another reservation and paid $180.83.
Just got my bank statement and I was charged $123.73 and looking into this further I found out that charge was for March 5, I didn’t make that reservation.
In conclusion I was charged $123.73 and I am going to loose that money and I didn’t stay there, not fair. Somehow human error or computer error has caused this.
All I know is I walked into the hotel and the lady behind the counter said this reservation has been canceled.

I was overcharged and not aware of the charge until checkout that I would be charged an extra $500 fee I am reaching out to file a complaint on the manager at holiday inn express in spring texas
We have not had any problems with our recent stays over the past years until now .
This has affected me financially and I do not appreciate the way it is being handled if you can get back to me via email or directly at I would appreciate it tremendously!

Dear Sir/Madam
My husband and myself and friends stayed at The Holiday Inn, Coventry M6 Jct 2 on Saturday 19th March 2022; we were given room 323 when we arrived, about 1.30/2.00pm.
We were relaxing in our room, and there was a terrible smell, a very strong chlorinated smell, it made me feel very sick, dizzy and a little disoriented. A member of staff knocked on our door, around 4.30 and told us that we were being evacuated as there was an incident on the 1st floor. There were several firemen milling around and we were told to move quickly and leave and go to reception.
We packed as quickly as possible and went to reception where we were allocated room 201. We went and unpacked and within about 30 minutes a fireman knocked on our door and told us that we must keep the window open for ventilation. At this point I wanted to leave the hotel and return home, but both my husband and myself had had an alcoholic drink at the bar so we’re unable to drive.
We had no choice but to stay and prepared to go out and eat. Later that evening, arriving back in the room and preparing to sleep, we realised that there was an awful noise outside our room, like a generator. We had been told to keep the window open so that’s all we could hear. Sleep was impossible, it was a permanent noise and I have attempted to attach a video so you can hear how loud it was, but have been unable to do that but I have kept it so hopefully I can attach it to an email address if you can provide me with one.
We had no sleep, we do not feel that it was our fault that we had to move rooms initially and when we asked at reception for another room we were told that there was no where else and that we had to put up with the noise.
We paid for a bed to sleep in that we were unable to do, I am requesting a refund of £71.20 that we paid. Thank you.
Kind regards

I booked with a baseball travel team for a weekend in the Scottsdale Arizona region. Talked with the front desk gave him a card to hold, was told that I would not be charged until check out. Minutes later I was charged on that card which put me negative in my account. When I talked to the front desk they told me it was a one time charge and that the rest of my stay wouldn't be charged until check out. The next day I was charged again, putting me super negative in my account to where they shut my credit card off. I then went to give them a new credit card to pay for the stay and was overcharged to wear it shut that credit card off because it wasn't approved. So then I was stuck with no hotel room and no money on a weekend.. It totally ruined our whole stay and made it completely chaotic. I have talked with our baseball team and surrounding teams in the area and have sent out information to other traveling teams to not book with you guys anymore it was completely ridiculous and I was treated completely rudely. This is not how customers should be treated especially when I'm paying so much. Maybe take some time and retrain your employees. Also our room was disgusting. If I'm paying over $300 anight I should have to deal with wet carpet and nasty crumbs all over the room. We even found a fake nail in our bathroom.

Upon arrival on Friday 3/4/2022, I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the lobby because it smelled so clean. I was greeted so kindly by the man at the front desk. Checked into my room and was happy with it. My first inconvenience was I had trouble with the room key deactivating twice on Friday. Saturday morning we left for the day. When we came back to the room, the garbage was emptied, but that was the only thing that was done to our room. We never got our used towels picked up OR replaced. We went to the front desk and got towels ourself. The cleaning service is part of what we pay for so were expecting clean towels. Sunday we were gone for the day. When we arrived back at the hotel, our room key would not work again getting into the side door from the outside parking lot so we went around to the lobby to get it fixed again!! Christa at the front desk said, "Well that happens all the time." Like it was no big deal. Not impressed with Christa at all. When we got back to our room, we found our room door was OPEN for anyone to come in. That is SO NOT OK!!!! We called the front desk, and again Christa was NO HELP AT ALL!! We asked for a manager and were told by her that there wouldn't be a manager here until Wednesday, today is Sunday, March 6,2022. With many hotels to chose from, we stayed here thinking the Holiday Inn is a reputable hotel. I would hope that this complaint is something that IHG would take serious.

Good afternoon,
I am trying to reach out to as many IHG contacts as possible asking for help, I have sent multiple emails to the manager at this location and has not heard back I have reached out to the location directly spoke to a young man first asking if Norma was still the manager and he confirmed she was so then I explained I needed to speak with her about some concerns we had with our stay and she hadn't returned emails but I he could check forna back that was left in my room, he put me on hold for about 10 minutes then someone picked up phone a hung it up, so I called back he answered again and told me he couldn't find it then a women took the phone from him and said "what it your problem" so I explained about the back that was left, explained about how the room connected to ours that I booked for our daughter who arrived before me with my Granddaughters had been smoked out in, someone had chilled in the beed and had crumbs all over the bed she hung the phone up on me, so I call back again and get same women I continue to explain to her the bed my son slept in felt like it was going to break and AC kept breaking all through the night. By the time I checked in I could still smell the heavy pot smell coming from that room and couldn't believe they would check a family with kids in that room. Then brought up my missing bag that has all my Olaplex shampoos, gucci bloom perfume, kora face cream and all kinds of other items I haven't unpacked from our recent 2 week trip to Disney world and Universal studios during the holidays she then told me they only hold things for so long after the stay and then toss them when they dont hear from anyone, I reminded her I have been contacting by email the Manager Norma by email and click she hung up on me again!!! I'm not stupid they didn't throw this bag away with expensive products in it! I called back multiple times but now they would answer and hang up over and over. Still nothing from Norma at all, called today and asked to speak with her was told she was available and when the girl realized it was me again she hung up.
I would really like to collect my items, I would think every employee at that location needs a drug test to see who is smoking out in these rooms, some quality control needs to happen at this location aswell as some customer service skills. We have many gymnastics meets coming up in that area I have allready shared our experience with this hotel and I am going to keep going. I honestly can not believe we have been treated this way what so ever.
Sincerely,
Heather Riedlecker

I booked a stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Schulenburg, TX for one night 2/12. I did book through a 3rd party vendor. My daughter contracted COVID was very ill and we were unable to attend the wedding in town.
I reached out to the 3rd party vendor and stated there could be a refund given at the discretion of the property management. Multiple emails and phone calls were made to grant the refund due to the circumstances. There was no response given. I personally called multiple times and was told the manager was not in the office. When I was finally able to get in contact with the management on property she stated the refund could not be given because it was an advanced purchase. I know this is not a true statement because I have received a refund in the past from another property that was booked through a 3rd party vendor. The managers at this property are heartless and did not want to hear anything I had to say. I actually did the property a favor by not staying with them knowing I had been exposed to COVID. After working on the frontlines of a COVID unit for the past 2 years people need to be more understanding of how the disease is so unpredictable and can change peoples travel plans very quickly. I would like a refund and return phone call/email from corporate customer service.

Last weekend we had to travel out of town for a competition and reserved a room at Holiday Inn Airport West Palm Beach. Myself and my two small children checked in very late at night. When we went up to the room my kids complained about the room smelling very bad. The room reeked of marijuana. The girl at the front desk Alexandria was extremely rude. I was told someone would come check out the room and no one ever did. Being completely exhausted that night we fell asleep. Again, in the morning the room smelled so bad we could not tolerate it anymore. Again I complained to the front desk girl and she said she knew it smelled and that she would document it. She also encouraged me to contact the assistant general manager Christine. I have left over 5 messages without a return call. When I called the hotel and again spoke to the extremely unprofessional Supervisor, Alexandria, she hung up on me. I have never had such a bad experience and I cant believe they would put me in that room knowing I was checking in with two small kids. I can be reached at if someone wants to call and make it right otherwise, I probably wont ever in my life stay at a Holiday Inn.
Sincerely,
Michelle Ehret

We Amiel & Daniela Brown experienced terrible stay at the Holiday Inn Express located in Avenel Feb. 13,14, and the 25, 2022.
My wife was informed thru Guest service to hurry placing reservations thru Snap Travel on timer. We endured noise disturbance four of those days. I addressed the noise disturbance to guest service but, front desk agents wouldn't enforced nor look into these issues. One of the overnight staff told my wife to leave out of hotel in early in the morning when the temperatures was 16 degrees out. We mention to front desk that each time my wife took a shower the water was cold. In fact We spoke with the supervisor and General Manager about these issues. Mrs. Pasquale (GM) mention my wife that she would adjust and refund her back her funds. In addition, she mention that she was very sorry about our visit. Earlier the supervisor (name unknown), spoke with me stating that Housekeeping and whoever else informed them that we were yelling or arguing within their presence. I stated that we were not arguing nor disrespecting the staff what so ever. I addressed the above issues with her and she was ignored our concerns. She began stating that the GM informed her that she discounted us and that we are no longer extended stay at there.... They show no respect for us nor my wife 's health. My wife is dealing with migraine headaches and blood pressure. I informed guest service each check in that we wanted to place at the end of the hallway to alleviate drama or noise disturbance. We felt like they didn't respect nor serve us. In addition, they never refunded my wife her $100.00 for incidental fees. We know they are going to deny or fabricate stories in a negative manner about us. We would never recommend no one to visit or stay at that hotel. If you have any concerns please email me back a response to Thanks

After being locked out my room due to a door jam I had nowhere to stay my belongings were on the inside locked away due to this locked door I called the front there was nothing they could do about until days later I live 2hrs away I was called late yesterday afternoon to come pick up belongings I wasn’t able to make it So I came the very next morning which was very inconvenient for me but I made it happened. When I arrived no one was at the front desk so I was frustrated I walked around looking for
The hotel clerk 10 mins later I walked into a linen closet and found him folding towels Wow
So if anyone comes in they will not be greeted because all employees are in the back So I began to explain to him that I was coming to grab my belongings and he said you can’t get anything until you sign this paper I told him I wasn’t aware of any charges due to the circumstances and the other party was being charged for the damages So how am I responsible because your door got jammed my card was charged for each night that I wasn’t even allowed to use the room and also
I was charged for the door I do understand things happen but for this employee to call
Me all kind of names because I wanted my belongings and run off with my belongings and I had to chase him down Im
In disbelief and can’t understand how he could treat a customer this way very rude and disappointed be careful who you hire I own a business and I would never fight with my customers

Stayed for Christmas Holidays to visit family and we felt like we had a Motel 6 type of room on the beachfront . We were so unhappy with your room #470 and property that we had to vacate two days early! Please note staff was friendly and courteous....it was the room that needs major updates namlely sliding glass door would only can be opened and closed by Hulk Hogan ,door jam was rotted , closet doors hurt my wife fingers , phone did not work and;2 German shepherd large dogs were pooping right down the front lawn sprinkler while eating breakfast!...True nightmare ...we advise you close the facility till you can totally renovate property and rooms . Our intended stay was from Dec 22 - Dec 27....never again .... Gratefully appreciate a refund .

We checked in on 10/5/21 thru 10/18/21
We went to our room and the TV was not in working order. I called the desk and they moved us to room #139 Handicap room.
When we entered there was a strong musty smell but we were so tired we decided just to stay and deal with it. We went to take
a shower and there wasn't any soap. I called and asked and they said I would need to come down to get it. I stood in line for about
5 minutes and watched 3 other customers request soap as well. The shower curtain didn't reach the floor so when we would take a
shower it would flood the floor & we had to use towels to clean it up. Consequently, we were always out of towels and had to go to
the front desk constantly to get towels. I told the front desk our problem that it was flooding and soaking the carpet entrance of the
room. They said they would relay the problem to the manager and I would hear back. Consequently, we never heard back in regard to our
complaint every day of the same growing problem After 13 days of soaking the carpet and the awful smell growing we checked out of
our room to go to another hotel. When we checked out I informed the clerk once again of the problem and she said "Oh, I will be sure
to close the room off so it can be repaired. That was no help to us since we lived in squishy stinking carpet, no towels, and only housekeeping
2 times with a 13 day stay. I was visiting my home town in Solana Beach where I was brought up for 65 years because my Mom passed
away in October. This was very stressful and our stay at the Holiday Inn Express Carlsbad made everything worse. It has taken me this long to complain because of my Mom's passing. I at least expected the General Manager to compensate us and make things right, but that never happened and it was obvious to me that they could care less just as long as my credit card was approved for payment. Hopefully you will make this right for us.

Hi, my husband and I had room blocks set for October 28th and 29th 2021at holiday inn in Warrenton Missouri for our wedding. Everything was going great from the time I set everything up with them. Then I sent out a reminder message to all of our guest that we’re planning to stay that they had till the 29th of September to get our block rate. That was when it started to go down hill. I found out that one of my guest was unsure if her 3 rooms she booked was really booked because she never received a confirmation email. I called the hotel for her and spoke with Danielle and she said they had no rooms booked for my guest under that name. I had my guest call and book again and made sure they took care of her. I then emailed Abigail asking for a list of all my guest that booked rooms so I could see if anyone else that called and booked rooms was truly in the system so I wouldn’t have to deal with this the day of the wedding. Abigail was not responding so I called and asked to speak with a manger which I then got disconnected, but Abigail then called me immediately after. I spoke with her and she sent me a list of all the guest and everything was correct. She also stated that they don’t send confirmation emails unless a guest ask for one which makes no sense to me and all of this could have been avoided if they would do their job. Then skip to October 28th the rehearsal night, I had a guest that had 3 rooms blocked that were part of the wedding party. I’m on my way to rehearsal when I get a call from this guest saying they had no rooms booked for them and the hotel was booked for the night. Now normally I would think she made the mistake, but I was with her in person at the hotel when she booked all 3 rooms and she said two nights and I specifically know she said that because when my father in law booked 3 rooms the person at the front desk asked do you want 2 nights as well (which they did not). So feeling stuck I just called Holiday inn in wentzville mo to see if they had rooms available and had them stay there for the night in hopes the Warrenton mo staff would own up to their mistake (which they did not). That family was part of our wedding and had to miss the rehearsal because of this. Then the wedding day comes and when I think it can’t get worse I was called again with another screw up on their part. My husband and I rented a shuttle on top of the complementary shuttle that the hotel provides because we had so many people staying and the hotel shuttle just wasn’t big enough. Abigail and I set up times for the hotel shuttle and the Jed shuttle that we hired to alternate pickup/drop offs so no one had to wait. I do have the emails from Abigail stating all of this. At 4:20 I get a call from the guest saying they only had 1 time for the hotel shuttle and that was at 5. They were supposed to start taking guest at 3,4 and 5. I had this set up that way we could have pictures done before the wedding that started at 6. I call the hotel and explain to them that they needed to get guests over to the venue and they said they were never told that and would get it going. Then not 15 minutes later I get a call again that the shuttle just left with no one on it (turns out there was 1 person on it) and they were standing out there waiting for it, but they just drove right past them. They then just jumped in their car because at this point they needed to be at the venue. We ended up having to start the wedding 30 mins late because of the lack of communication between Abigail and the staff. Then at the end of the night the shuttle was sitting out there like they were supposed to and then informed us that they won’t take kids because of safety. While I do get that, these were school age kids who ride a school bus and are to big to ride in car seats. So the parents then had to figure out how to get them to the hotel since most of them rode with someone who already left, so they had to pile kids in a car sitting on each other’s laps making it more unsafe then riding the shuttle because the hotel never informed anyone that kids would not be able to ride their shuttle and our shuttle was already done for the night. The next morning I had so many complaints from guest saying how unorganized this hotel was and how rude the staff was. I of course try to call, but something must be wrong with the phones because every time I try to call to say something I get hung up on. I know times are hard and it’s hard to get good staff, but I highly recommend that you train the staff to be a little more friendly and to communicate with one another because this was the last thing I wanted to deal with on my wedding day. I have never stayed at a hotel with such terrible service.

Please please call me I need answers and help the manager keyur did very bad things to my account and took money from other accounts as.well I have all papers.to prove.he.messed with my credit card I have texts with everything please call

Disgusted the holiday inn in Washington won’t give me a plate to take to my room to eat some food. I’m staying here now and have never been refused by any hotel before, absolutely disgusted!!!!

Hello, to whom it may concern after booking a week long stay at Holiday Inn Express located at 3101 Dallas Parkway, Plano, Tx 75093 and only staying two of those nights I was so rudely awoken to a hotel manager banging on my door telling me that my room smelled of marijuana and that I had thirty minutes to remove all of my belongings and leave the premises. That room reeked of that God awful smell when I first arrived and so did the whole hall in fact the ONLY reason I did not ask to move rooms is because I am disabled, have lupus, and I am on dialysis because my first kidney transplant failed I mean I literally have a catheter that goes directly to my heart and hangs out of my chest. I would have happily asked to move rooms if I had the energy to move all of my belongings AGAIN it was hard enough the first time getting them all the way up to the third floor. I told this manager it was absolutely not me and she continued to say that it absolutely had to have been me because that is how my kind are as I asked what she meant by that she said you Mexicans! Then told me I had to leave or she was going to call the cops on me! I cannot believe how rude, absurd, and disrespectful this manager was to me! On top of all this craziness the manager is refusing to refund my remaining four days, I live off of disability and cannot afford to just lose $400. Something has to be done Holiday Inn can not allow it's managers to behave this way. I need a refund and to be compensated for the unnecessary amount of emotional stress this has caused me. If you cannot help me please get me in touch with someone who can.

Checked in on 10/23 at 5:20pm because our room wasn't ready yet.....the front desk was rude to us and then we finally got in our room after the Hotel Manager went to inspect it and said it was cleaned.... Once we got in our room, the smell was horrible.....smelt like mold and then walked over to the bed and the maid just kept the old sheets on the bed and how we know this is there was dirty shoe prints all over.....Had to call the front desk for clean sheets to be brought up and she did bring them up and proceeded to toss at me.
I would like some of our money refunded back as the service we received was unacceptable. Your room was not worth the over $400.00 I paid for it and I will never stay in one of you establishments again.
We were in Room #306 and checked out on 10/25.
Please respond to this complaint as I can't reach anyone on your phones.

I tried to make a reservation to Mt. Kisco Holiday Inn and will be able to stay 2 nights for the astounding price of $445.00. After making the reservation, I was redirected to a salesman that offered a 4 day 3 night stay in 12 different resorts with no other requirements. When I hesitated, the salesman offered to extend the time I could use this offer to two years and several free comps. The price of $199.00 was to be refunded. We talked about different areas, and I mentioned that Scottsdale AZ was a nice spot, but would let them know. The salesman was to email me the details and a credit card receipt. He said there were no "seminars" that we had to attend.
Nothing was ever received and I called several times. I was told there were indeed seminars and it had to used within one year - not two. Then we kept getting congratulatory emails about going to Scottsdale, which we had never asked for specifically.
I cancelled the charge with the credit card company and googled the HICV - Holiday Inn Club Vacation plans. The BBB has so many complaints about this operation that I called the HICV people back and insisted on a refund, but they said I had to send an email. I did, but nothing has been heard, and no credit has been received.
We are keeping the exorbitant costly reservation at Mt. Kisco because there seems to be nothing else available at this late date, but you should know that we are now limiting stays at any Holiday Inn. I don't like being led into scams that are perpetuated by what I think are reputable businesses. Your redirection while making this reservation was not appropriate.

We arrived at check to be told that we could not leave car park between 0830 and 115 tomorrow! No mention of this on website or in confirmation email. We are supposed to be visiting family!! Told I had to complain via email to hotel manager and couldn’t formally complain to company. I hope this proves them wrong! A ruined visit and £200 wasted. Unacceptable that information not available at time of booking or with confirmation email. Hope to hear. Paul

We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Heber City Utah on October 3 and 4 and left a day early on the 5th. When we arrived on the morning of the 3rd I commented to the lady at the desk that there was loads of "large dog" poop in the grass between the front door and the handicapped spot where we parked. Someone had even stepped in it and tracked onto the sidewalk. She had no response. The next day at the end of the day I mentioned it to a different lady and got no response. At the end of the day of the 4th I ran into the manager and mentioned it to her and she said they were aware of it but were to busy to pick it up. Maybe I am different than most management these days, but I would have put my stuff down if I were her and gone out and picked it up myself. Because of registering three complaints and no one caring we decided to leave the next morning, a day early.
We have stayed at Holiday Inn hotels for 45 years and have never been greeted with the "I don't care attitude before". We will not stay there again but will go to the Best Western across the street.

I suite area was disgusting

the manager is unresponsive to my questions. Also came into our room without being asked. When asked why he was in our room he kept nodding as if it were his fault.

Drew Caudal, General Manager with the Holiday Inn did not resolve my issue with price gouging. We always stay at this hotel, however, his name was given to me after staff reserved my room for $126.72. I received a call back from a professional staff name Patty who said my room would be charged $175.12 each night. I was very upset and asked to speak with the general manager who was Drew Caudal. I also had IHG rewards that was no good to use as a discount there amount was even higher price. My $126.72 was jacked up to a higher price at $175.12. I should have been informed of this when I reserved the room. I contacted IHG my rewards club since 1991 who stated Drew Holiday Inn Express spelled my name wrong they couldn't pull my rewards up in the system. It was a nightmare to seek resolution. Drew was condescending and provided poor customer service to me. I contacted the Sponsors of the event at this hotel, DE who was made aware of the price hike to their partners. I won't stay at this hotel anymore and will inform more of the partners at the meeting of what happened to me. I also had to cancel my IHG rewards because as was mentioned their discount was no good to use toward this increased price. Covid has left many without jobs, homes, health, business closing etc., we should not have to be punished with increased price gouging having these events in the hotel was a luxury to help them. An unnecessary stress factor. The better Business Bureau was contacted concerning false advertising of prices and poor customer service.

I am in Charleston SC on a business trip with 2 of my employees. The conference we are attending is within walking distance. (It was booked and we weren't able to get rooms there) I booked and paid for 3 king rooms, 1 adult each for 4 nights. I figured Holiday Inn is a good hotel chain and the location was perfect so why not.
On the first night, one of my coworkers stated she had killed several roaches in her room. When she called the front desk she was told "oh, my apologies".
Night 2- The same coworker was sleeping and the fire alarm in her room went off. She got up thinking there was a fire, walked down 8 flights of stairs, went to the front desk and told the lady what is happening in her room. Your worker told her that they were on a circuit and aware of the problem as they had to move another guest earlier that evening. They never moved her to another room, just told her there was nothing to worry about and told her she could go back to bed.
The next morning when she told us about her night, we looked in our rooms and found that my other coworker doesn't even have a smoke detector in her room. There are just wires hanging out of the wall where it used to be. Is this not a safety hazard?? Do you think the Fire Marshal would be ok with this and allow you to stay open??
Night 3 - I now have become the roach killer in my room. These bugs are crawling up the walls!!! So here I sit in my room trying to relax, however still on bug patrol, and out of nowhere this horribly loud noise is coming from the room next to mine. I am located right next to the mechanic/sprinkler room just off the lobby. It sounds like there is a airplane jet engine about to come through my wall. I just left my room and walked to the front desk. When I asked what the noise was, I am told that it is the DRYER. I told him that it is so loud in my room that I can't even hear my TV. Again I get.... "my apologies" It's 9:30 pm. I have to be up early.... how long does this run??
Night 4 to be determined. I don't know if I can stick it out here one more night. Shame.... I spent a lot of money for the 3 of us to stay here for this experience.
I would like to suggest that you send someone to this location to check things out. This place needs closed and major repairs need done. There are buckets and pails sitting in the lobby and breakfast area where water is coming through the ceiling. The bathroom off the lobby is gross. There has not been toilet paper for 2 days, there is a huge hair ball on the floor and a woman's fingernail laying on the floor now for 2 days... I think it's the front desk gals as she was missing one. I'm positive this has not been cleaned in quite some time!
This place is truly giving the "Holiday Inn" brand a horrible name!
I have NEVER stayed in a place like this!! And I never will again.
I would appreciate a response to this please. 937-681-2088


My husband works for Cox Enterprises that has you as a preferred hotel, that is until our experience today with the manager Percy at 160 Union Avenue in Memphis, TN. In front of hotel guests he yelled at me telling me that I was being loud & I apologized and informed him that I’m deaf in my right ear and heard of hearing so I didn’t mean to sound loud. He then proceeded to argue this as-if I was disrupting others and said I slammed the microwave (which I did not). My husband gets off work to pick us up and goes in to talk to him and he had complete disregard for my medical issues, and when I tried to say to him, calmly (watch the cameras and you’ll see I’m right) “sir I feel it’s inappropriate for you to embarrass me about my medical condition” he interrupts me saying “we’re done here” over and over every time I tried to say that one sentence. I’m completely shocked at what took place and how he could be in management and treat someone that way for no reason. If you see the footage you will see he was completely blowing the situation out of proportion. It’s never ok to mistreat someone, especially a customer, like this for a medical condition they can’t help. I asked who his boss is and he said he didn’t have anyone above him and then said word for word “I am the end all be all” when I called to ask who his boss was. Please have someone contact me as I would line to escalate this fora resolution before I seek out legal council against him and Holiday Inn. I’ve never been treated so bad or embarrassed in my life.

Incident at Holiday Inn Express – Charlestown, WV
Manager on staff: Kaysi M.
General Manager: Jason Butt
Date of incident: 9/18/2021
Person injured: Nancy Rifkin
Time of incident: 6:15pm (approx.)
On 9/18/2021 my wife and I checked into the Holiday Inn Express – Charlestown, WV (Rm. 1090) at approximately 5:00pm. Initially we had intended to stay just the one night but, after looking at the room, and the property, we decided to extend the stay for two nights.
My wife and I returned to our room, got changed into our bathing suits so we could take advantage of their outdoor pool. We spent approximately 45 minutes to an hour in the pool before returning to the room to shower for dinner. My wife got in the shower at approximately 6:05pm; at approximately 6:15 I heard a large crash and my wife called out to me. I ran to the bathroom to find my wife on the floor by the toilet, wincing in pain and shaken. I looked at the water in the bathtub and it was approximately 4” from the top of the tub (my wife was NOT taking a bath). I immediately reached down to pull open the drain and the entire stopper pulled out in my hands. The water began to drain and my wife told me to replace the stopper before the water completely drained so the maintenance staff could survey the situation. She began to cry and I helped her to her feet and tried to calm her. I helped her to a chair and asked her if she wanted to go to the emergency room. She was concerned about the expense this would incur due to being out of state and out of network; she just wanted to go home.
I went to the front desk to report the accident and inform the manager (Kaysi) that we would be checking out. She informed me that the emergency room was very close if we decided to go.
I returned to the room and convinced my wife to go to the emergency room just to be safe.
I returned to the front desk and told Kaysi that we were going to the emergency room. If we find that she is just shaken /scared and it’s nothing serious, we might stay for the two nights but, we wouldn’t know until we hear from the doctor. Kaysi told me that she would be able to comp our stay if we decide to check out that night.
My wife and I arrived at the emergency room at 6:45pm (approx.) and she was brought in to see the doctor around 7:15pm. X-rays were taken and the doctor pressed around to see where she was injured.
At approximately 8:10pm I was called to sit with my wife. *(Kaysi called me just as I was walking in to the building to inform me that she had written up an incident report that she’d need me to sign when we returned.) I asked Kaysi to send the maintenance staff to the room while we were out to address the toilet and any other issue related to the drain.
The nurse gave her a prescription pain killer at 8:25-ish. It wasn’t until close to 9:30pm that the doctor came in to give us the results of the x-ray. He said he could not see a break but, that didn’t mean there wasn’t one. He said a rib could have a hairline break but, not show in an x-ray. He recommended we start pain killers (Naproxen or Motrin) and, depending upon my wife’s pain tolerance, we should head home so she can see her family practitioner.
It is now 9:30pm (approx.) and neither of us had eaten dinner so we found a local restaurant that was open late. By the time we finished dinner and got back to the hotel it was close to 11:00pm. I helped my wife to bed and went to the front desk to review / sign the incident report. I needed to make one correction to the incident report; on the second page Kaysi had checked that medical treatment was not required. I disagreed and my wife most certainly did require medical attention as evidenced by the lengthy visit to the emergency room.
I told Kaysi that we’d be checking out and leaving in the morning; I recall her telling me that she had intended to comp the stay due to the incident. I thanked her for her understanding and went to the room. I saw that the toilet had been straightened out but the drain we the same as before we left. Kaysi told me that the toilet was temporarily fixed; would work for the evening but, a more permanent repair would be needed after we had checked out.
*I have come to find that, technically, we should have been moved to another room due to the fact that the problem area that had contributed to the accident (tub drain stopper) had not been addressed and could create a problem again if not for us; any future guest.
Needless to say, we both had a restless night and got up early so we could start our long drive home to NJ as soon as possible. We were packed and loaded by 8:00am so I went to the front desk to hand in our key cards and get a copy of the incident report.
The desk agent (Mateo) retrieved a copy of the incident report for me as well as a copy of the receipt. Expecting to see a charge of zero dollars I saw a charge of $248.59 on the invoice. I questioned Mateo about this as I was under the impression that Kaysi was going to forgive any charges due to the inconvenience and injury my wife and I experienced. Mateo was unaware of any comp agreement and he had no note from Kaysi to that effect. I told him I would call Kaysi when she got in to work later in the day.
I called Kaysi at 3:15pm (9/19/2021) and asked her if we had been charged for the night’s stay. She told me we had been charged. I told her that I thought she had told me she would be comping our stay and she told me that she charged us for the one night and would have given us a $20.00 discount for the second night (which we didn’t use).
I told her that I didn’t see why we were being charged anything since we spent 90% of our time there in the emergency room due to an injury my wife incurred due to a faulty drain in the tub. She didn’t offer to provide a refund so I told her I would be taking this issue up with my credit card company and I would be filing a dispute.
On Monday evening (9/20/2021) my wife visited our family physician to be checked out following our trip. After looking over her injuries and doing a thorough check, he had put her on a medical leave until October 7, 2021 if she has healed sufficiently to be able to perform her job 100%.
So, not only did the lack of maintenance on the tub drain cause my wife to spend an evening in the emergency room, have bruised soft tissue / ribs, a severely bruised arm, and a shortened birthday getaway. We will now be faced with a bill for a visit to the emergency room, a bill for a visit to our family doctor and lost revenue due to being placed on medical leave.
I also find it upsetting that, after having to leave a message with IHG’s customer care line on 9/20/21, I have yet to receive a return call from anyone regarding this incident.
*9/22/2021: Called Customer Care and spoke to a representative (Kale) to start a case regarding this incident. Case number – 10496390713.
*9/23/2021: Received a call from Jason Butt (GM of the facility). Right from the start I felt it was being handled unprofessionally as I could tell Jason had me on speaker phone and had not announced that fact to me. I asked that he take me off of speaker phone, which he did.
He told me that he had received my case regarding this incident and, since I had already contacted my credit card to file a dispute, he said that he was going to close the case and not dispute my claim. I would be getting a refund for the one night and not charged for the second night (which we didn’t stay for). He went on to say that the issue with us being charged was just a matter of miscommunication at which point I assured him that it was NOT a case of miscommunication. I spoke to Mateo (agent on when we checked out) and later in the day I contacted Kaysi (manager on duty when we checked in) and they both confirmed that we were being charged for the one night.
Throughout the conversation Jason interrupted me on numerous occasions (something who has ever been through management training should know not to do when you have an upset customer in front of you or on the phone). He also seemed to have a slight attitude which angered me as well.
I expressed my disappointment in how this incident had been handled from a local and corporate level. His only comment was that he would not be disputing my claim and I would be getting a refund.
I reminded him that, in addition to the insult of being charged for the one night stay (which we were being reimbursed for but, only after I disputed the charge with my credit card company), we will be faced with the expense of a trip to the emergency room, a follow up visit with our local family physician when we got home. The physician put my wife on a 2 week medical leave because she is unable to perform her job in her current condition so we will also be faced with lost revenue as a result of this incident.
There was never an offer to cover the emergency room expense, no offer of even a voucher for a free night in a Holiday Inn Express of our choice; I hardly even got an apology from him about this happening to my wife at his facility.
To say that we are disappointed in the whole outcome of this would be a vast understatement.

Hi my name is Kathy Bragg,
I stay at your Ben Salem Pa location at least once every 1-2 months. Each time has been a bad experience. I stay there because it's in the Parx casino parking lot and they give a discount for Parx customers.
During one visit my sister and I checked in, went to our rooms and when we went to leave our room we couldn't get out, the locked jammed. We made several attempts and finally the door opened. We told the front desk and they said they would send someone up to fix it. Several hours later we came back to the room to get ready to go out to dinner, when we left the room, my sister had to go back in to get something and again the door didn't open FROM EITHER SIDE!!! So they didn't fix it!! What if there had been a fire?! How was my sister going to get out of the room?!!
Other times we have dealt with insanely rude employees, dirty rooms, wet carpets and mildew smells. Every time when I ask to speak to a manager there is never one available to come to the desk. Each time I call on the phone I'm told there is no manager there. Does your hotel hire managers?
One time we were told the pool would be open and when we got there it was closed.
Several times we went and there was no toilet paper and the next day we had no fresh towels. We were told they only give clean towels the next day if we call the desk to ask. Shouldn't your cleaning staff supply fresh towels in the morning and also supply TOILET PAPER?!!
I was there again this past weekend and again there was no toilet paper. And when we went out to the pool it was dirty. The 5 foot end of the pool had dirt and leaves, A LOT of them. So we went in the other end and had to stay away from the deeper end so we didn't have to swim in dirt!! However, when I went to get out of the three foot end of the pool there were cigarette butts floating by the steps in the pool. I know your staff is not responsible for the inconsideration bs of your customers but your staff IS responsible for maintaining the rooms and the grounds.
As I said I go quite often with either my sister or friends, usually my
Also I want it known that I have been trying to resolve these issues for since August of 2020. No manager has ever returned my call, that's why I finally decided to contact your corporate office. I never should have had to take it this far.
sister or my friend books the room and we split the cost. Unfortunately I have yet to have a good, CLEAN experience.
I will be staying there again the weekend of September 18th, I think at this point we deserve a free room, if not for this visit then possibly for the next. And perhaps you should better train your employees. They simply don't care. I have stayed at Holiday Inn in four other states and have never had an issue. So what is the problem with your Ben Salem Pa location?!

I checked in at the Holiday Inn in Nashville Tennessee on 4th Street. We requested a room with 2 queen beds and a pull out couch. When we got to the room it did not have a pull out sofa. I went back to the desk and the gentleman said “you requested a room with a view”. I told the gentleman we did not request a room with a view and he said “well that’s what it says you requested”. Then he changed to room to have a pull out sofa bed. We went to the new room and it was dirty - sheets all over the floor. I went back down and asked that he put us back in the original room and he said no that he was going to give us a room with a pull out couch. Then he said the couch is not a pull out bed. It just pulls out. I said we needed a pull out bed and he said none of the rooms have that. However he still I sit later on changing the room and gave us yet another room. When we went to that room it was a connecting room. We went back down and requested that we be cancelled and he said they would charge us. I explained that the situation was not our fault and we had stayed in holiday inns our entire trip without issue until now. He still said they would charge us. There was no apology or asking what could be done like maybe putting us in a holiday inn express. He was rude and unhelpful. He acted quite annoyed. I have had very good experiences prior to this . It is unfortunate as I do not even want to stay in Nashville now.

I am writing in to file a complaint about fraudulent charges on my sisters credit card when we came to stay at one of your holiday inns. What I don’t like is feeling like I can’t get a room through your establishment. I feel like should I use my bank card or credit cards your employee is going to try to steal my money or try to make fraudulent charges. It’s not ok that your employees take what is not theirs. Moving forward I will be letting everyone I know not to go to Holiday Inn because their employees like to steal credit card info and think they are about to purchase things.

Corey was new and I understand but he was so slow and took 30 minutes to check in and missed a lot of the things he should ask for. I had to leave because my husband was in icu at Scott and white, my daughter stayed until morning. I had a wreak going home and someone stole my purse with my credit card and Id. I canceled my cards when I got home, but the one there actually went through. I called back to get a copy of drivers license but he never sent it to me and I called again the manger said she to had contact him to do it which is ridiculous! I told her I was going to report to corporate. I don’t want to get anyone in trouble but when someone is in dire need this really heartless.

Terrible service. I booked a room at the holiday inn
at Niagra falls on 5339Murray street a room by the pool 3 weeks in advance and was confirmed by the manager that it was booked. I then get a call two days later and was told the room was no longer available. I asked for the manager about the situation and I was told that I was speaking with the manager. She said I csn book another room even though I booked in advance and have it cancelled fir no reason and can come down to see if there was a room for me by the pool. I then asked to speak to the owner Coco who I had met many times birng a repeat customer every year. The manager refused to pass the message and was thrn told to go gladly find another hotel because the room I booked was no longer available. This lady should not be working as a manager. I have made a complaint to head office about this. I have been going there for the last 10 years just to get my room cancelled and told to go elsewhere. Coco you seriously need to change your management staff. Terrible service.

We requested a pet-friendly room at the Murphysboro Holiday Inn Express tonight at 8 pm. We were told that since this hotel was brand new (open one week ago) they were not accepting pets. And we were told to drive 15 miles down the road to the Holiday Imm Express in Carbondale.
I thought ALL Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express locations were pet friendly. When did your policy change?
Have feedback for Holiday Inn?
Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry. Please try again later!
