I am a IHG member and use Holiday Inn often. There have been a number of disappointing stays lately and this was one of them. Service was fine and uneventful. Nothing great vut certainly nothing bad. Carpet in room was stained awful. Like a full fledged food fight happened and stained the floors. Carpet was torn up to the point you can see the subfloor underneath. Only 2 washcloths and towels when the stay was for 3 people. Food looked fine for breakfast and it was a free breakfast. The basics and hot. Internet was OK. TV was out dated and not a smart TV. Certainly not a place I would stay again for $150 a night after taxs and fees even with my discounts.

A pretty strange experience. I can't recall the guy's name but front desk/check-in was phenomenal. Around 5PM I'm sitting at the desk in my room finishing up some work when there's a knock. As I stand up to answer the door it suddenly swings open and a house cleaner just lets themselves in. She claims she needs to bring some towels. I'm utterly confused. "Uhh, did I ask for any towels?". "No, I have to bring these towels in here". There were already towels in the bathroom but she walked right in, added to the stack, and let herself back out. What just happened? Why did housekeeping just barge into my room and, upon realizing it was occupied, continue to consciously invade my privacy? I've stayed in thousands of hotels and never experienced this. Front desk mixes up a booking and some other guest accidentally walks into your room? Sure, that happens. House cleaners walking into your room, acknowledging you, realizing they shouldn't be there, but continuing to run their rounds at 5 in the evening anyway? That is weird. Are you guys punishing them if there aren't redundant towels in the bathroom or something?
