    Checked me in without verifying my stay to the point I was settled in my room until 9 pm then called the room twice asking to verify my name and stay. Even after that, only when I asked at the front desk to make sure ibwas actually checked in, did they realize I had a reservation at a the other holiday inn express. I will admit my fault in driving to the wrong hotel, but it is absolutely unexceptable to check someone in without confirming their stay. Ill leav it at that.
