We are extremely disappointed with how a serious sanitation issue was handled during our stay, especially on Christmas.
A young child in our room became sick and vomited on the floor. We cleaned what we could and contacted the front desk three times before anyone answered. When someone finally came to the room, they arrived with only towels and a small linen bag and stated they “don’t clean that” and did not have any disinfectant or biohazard cleaner.
When asked how the hotel would normally clean a room if a guest was not present, the employee became dismissive, said she would call management, threw her hands in the air, and walked away.
While I briefly left to purchase proper cleaning supplies myself, I decided to leave a video chat up on my IPad because her attitude worried me leaving my belongings unattended in the room. While I was away I observed the staff member enter the room and wipe the affected area with a dry bath towel, which is completely unacceptable and unsanitary. Only after I returned and repeatedly asking did she return with some type of spray cleaner.
The room still smells like vomit, and at no point were we offered a room change ; even though the hotel appeared mostly empty. We no longer feel comfortable staying here and will be finding another hotel for the remainder of our holiday.
This situation was stressful, unsanitary, and handled with a lack of professionalism and care. I would not recommend staying here based on this experience.

This seems to be a well-run hotel. It’s clean, the staff are friendly and helpful and there are some nice touches - good coffee available 24/7, the breakfast seems well presented, pool and hot tub are ok and there is a Walmart and a target right by it. Only downside was the gym is very small.

Pool was broken during our two night stay. Toilet paper holder was broken. AC did not properly adjust temperature. Very low water pressure and no hot breakfast due to covid. IHG can do better.
