(Updated to respond to the hotels response) I didn't really agree. I just didn't want to argue. They did refund my night and gave a whooping 5000 points. Hahaha the pictures show how filthy they are. I'm even considering calling the health department. Look at other people's comments as well. IHG should take away the franchise rights from the owner of the hotel. The owner should consider leaving the hotel industry completley. People who run a business that disgusting, should be fined out of existence by the health department.
(Original)Absolutely disgusting hotel! Avoid at all costs!!! It looks newer from the photos but it most definitely is not. See the photos and videos I posted. The worst stay I have experienced in over a decade. I stay over 200 nights per year in hotels. 4 of 4 washers are broken. 3 of 4 dryers are broken. All of them are absolutely filthy. The room amhad crud in the corners. There are boogers fling all over the walls that look like they have been fmthere for a long time. Tons of wall damage. The room smelled like cigarette smoke. Stains near the ceiling in the bedroom that looks like it is from cigarette amoke. The refrigerator smelled funny. They put a small microwave on the table instead of replacing the regular one. The bad is painful to sleep on. It seems to be very old and dips like a swimming pool in the middle. Stains on the furniture. The living room TV had a broken HDMI cable. I had to use the one from the bedroom on the living room TV. Dead bugs in the bottom of the ceiling lamps. Ok... My rant is over. Please avoid this place!
