Beyond incompetent and rude staff - they messed up the reservation, meaning my family had to wait over 30 minutes late at night for a reservation I had made weeks before. The staff did not apologize once and were extremely curt with us about their own mistake, having the audacity to very rudely ask if we had touched anything in the wrong room they had given us before they would schedule us in a room they rush-cleaned. I have never had this terrible of an experience at an IHG before and was extremely disappointed. Will not come here again and would not recommend anyone else come here. Would give negative stars if possible.
