We have stayed here several times in the past. The place is definitely showing neglect and lack of upkeep. With quiet hours not starting until midnight and a noisy neighboring room, sleep was difficult and not restful. The beds are comfortable. The beer tap was not working and the breakfast is expensive.

The booking was done to streamline a gift for my child. The instructions on my booking were ignored even after I spoke to the front desk person. This is the third time this has happened to me and my family. We were then triple charged for the room. Once at booking. Once at check in. Again at checkout. Had to contact IGH directly. I plan events for multiple organizations. Will NEVER book here. Ridiculous!
