Don’t ask to use the bathroom if you have an emergency. Went to 3 different places nearby who did not have a bathroom and I was referred to go to another place down the street. I have rewards here and I have stayed at holiday inn plenty of times and I have been to other locations where they are more than willing to direct you to the bathroom in the lobby. Not here. I’m not sure what happened to human decency and customer service/care but I received none here.

They eliminated coffee pots in the rooms. There is lots of coffee in the lobby, but who wants to get dressed before having their morning coffee?

I went to IHG for a field hockey tournament. I was happy with the room, the staff were very friendly and the hotel was comfortable. Although when trying to use the gym there were 2 broken treadmills and the water cooler in the gym did not work either.

If your company pays for your room, DO NOT give them a personal credit card to cover extra charges. You may regret it.
