Keith

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checked into a room that had no air conditioning and was handed a fan from the front desk and said sorry. this is the best we can do. Room was 78 plus degrees entire stay. Door would not secure so we had to trust that the clasp would prevent entry. Pool was indoors but was absolutely freezing. Requested refund for the room and IHG points were offered and said sorry this all we can do. Would never stay at another IHG facility.

They ran out of toilet paper in the whole hotel according to the front desk clerk. When I asked what I should do when I was denied rolls at 9:30 at night, the response was, “it would probably be easiest if you went to the grocery store and bought more.”
