General Manager is a fruitcake
No, I do not recommend this property.
I've stayed at this hotel many times.
The hotel is excellent and looks brand new.
Breakfast was great, as always.
The hotel is excellent and looks brand new.
Breakfast was great, as always.
I checked in for a 3 night stay and the wi-fi did not work in my room. I went down to inform the desk clerk and he told me that there was nothing he could do but I was welcome to use the meeting room right next to the breakfast area and the Wi-Fi worked great there. He also told me that I would have to speak to the General Manager the next morning.
I worked until about 10 PM that evening and went up to my room to go to bed. I was behind on my work so I went back down to the meeting room and about 5 AM. The daytime desk clerk came over and told me that the meeting room was not yet open. I explained that the Wi-Fi was not working in my room and asked what time the General Manager was coming in. She told me about 9:30 or 10 AM.
I got to a point where I didn't need Wi-Fi so I went back up to my room to do my work.
I ate breakfast at about 7:30 AM, great breakfast and I tipped the breakfast person as I always do.
I wnet down to the lobby and asked if the General Manager was in yet. She pointed to a man on the phone walking around the lobby laughging and talking to the person on the phone. He finally ended his call about 20 minutes later and then came over to me and asked what I wanted. I told him that the Wi'Fi was not working in my room and I would like for it to get fixed. He told me that I was free to check out and go somewhere else. I told him that since I had made a reservation for 3 nights, Holiday Inn would charge me for the full value . He siad that no, that wouldn't happen. He then went on a long explanation as to how he had upgraded his laptop so that he could see the Wi-Fis from all the businesses around the hotel. I responded with yes, I see those Wi-Fis as well but since I don't have their passwords they don't help. He then got mad and stated that I was disrespecting him. I asked how I had disrespected him? I had not yelled or called him any names. At that point, his nostrils flared and his eyes got big and he told me that I had 10 minutes to get out of his hotel. I went back to my room, packed up, and left a tip for the housekeeper as I always do. Then went down to check out and got a bill for double what it should have been. I protested and the daytime desk clerk stated that is what the General Manager told me to do.
Needless to say,. I will never darken his door again. But I fail to understand asking that the Wi-Fi work in my room qualifies as being disrespectful.
In summary, the General Manager has no clue for the value of a customer so I will stay elsewhere when I am in the area.

You may not realize it at first but this is a first class hotel. They have everything you need for just about any function you would be doing at a hotel.
They have great rooms, a workout center, all kinds of meeting rooms, a ballroom, a bar, and a restaurant.
But what really sets them apart if their staff. Everyone happily tries their best to do whatever you requested. Front desk staff, restaurant staff, and housekeeping are all first rate.
Highly recommend this hotel.

Great hotel
Yes, I recommend this property.
I highly recommend this hotel.
The staff is great, especially the front desk staff. And I love the new showerheads and the privileged parking for high frequency customers (I stay in a lot of Holiday Inn Express locations).
However, nobody could figure out how to operate the TVs. They have a Spectrum streaming system that listed CBS as 11-6 8. However, going through the channels, it only goes 11-1, 11-2, and 11-3. No way to get to 11-6. As a result, I missed my two favorite shows on TV on Friday evening; S.W.A.T. and Blue Bloods. The Front Desk clerk tried but she was unable to get the TV on CBS. She did finally find a room at that did not have a streaming TV at 9:15 PM. However, by that time, I had missed SWAT and had missed the first part of Blue Bloods so I didn't take her up on her offer of switching rooms. Somebody at the hotel should know how to operate the TVs.
Breakfast was excellent and everything else was nice.
Fix the TV issue.
