A disappointing stay overall.
The front desk staff were polite and check-in was easy, which I appreciated. The location is convenient, and the lobby area looked clean and welcoming.
But the room itself didn’t meet expectations. The cleanliness could have been much better — the floor didn’t seem freshly vacuumed, and the bathroom had a few missed spots. The AC unit was also louder than normal, which made it hard to sleep. Breakfast was okay but not as fresh as I’ve had at other IHG properties.

Booked a couple nights in this hotel for work only to find an ant infestation in the bed.
The hotel was fully booked and they were understandably not able to switch my room.
Unfortunately the only remedy they were willing to offer me was spraying the bed with insecticide... I left at midnight and booked another room elsewhere.
They refunded me but I lost money on booking a more expensive last min stay, which they were not willing to reimburse. I’d honestly avoid this place and go elsewhere if I were you!

The room was damp and smelled like mildew. We switched rooms which was nice…only that the new room was marginally better. Service was good. The whole place needs a gut and remodel. Room 323 has mold growing in the window pain.
