    Nothing seems to work. Between the elevator, doors, and staff, ironing board. Stay at the Best Western down the street and Thank me later. This hotel has gotten a minor room upgrade since the previous time I stayed, TV is nicer is about all though. Curtains still stained with holes, elevator doesn’t work, doors are exit only and morning and I stress Morning staff is incompetent. I was even told by a local to not stay here and I rolled the dice, Lesson learned b because I shortened my stay and had a great stay at the Best Western!

    Come here once a month or more. Every time is a new experience with something out of order or in need of service. Won't be long and nothing will be working.

    We have stayed at this holiday inn for years going to Canton. This past year their cleaning staff threw away some personal belongings that had been left behind. I called not even 2 hours after check out. (No 24 hour hold, at least?) Anyways, we worked out the issue and they sent me a 2 free night stay, good until this December. Great, right? Wrong. Now they no longer want to honor the gift card they sent me. I have made multiple phone calls and sat on the phone for hours (literally, one phone call 1.5 hours and the 2nd phone call 1 hour), left voicemails, have not received emails that were supposedly sent, and have been hung up on. 0/10. This review probably won’t affect them in anyway but does make me feel a bit better.
