Not sure what to start with but as a Hyatt Employee, I'm so glad that I don't work for this hotel and this company! This is my first time staying at the Holiday Inn Express and it'll be the last time!! When I got to the hotel on 3/2 to check in, I noticed 5-6 families on their phones complaining that their reservations got canceled without any notice and were told sorry that nothing could be done. I went ahead to check in and they can't find my reservation either. At this point, I'm very confused!!! The lady working the front desk didn't know what was going on and no Manager was able to assist her. She made a few phone calls to her Manager and no one was able to give her any guidance until one of the customers called the corporate office and they were able to find ways how to accommodate some families. It took us 2 hours to finally get the rooms we needed, and we were late to our daughter's game! On the morning of 3/3, we got down at 6:45 am to grab a quick breakfast before we headed to the Volleyball tournament and got the surprising news that NO Breakfast was available. The excuse was that the Breakfast attendant didn't show up!!! I work in the F&B department at a hotel, and this is beyond unacceptable!! Not sure what kind of Management you have at this property, but clearly no communication and no leadership. I felt very bad for the lady working the afternoon shift on 3/2 but she was put in a very uncomfortable position with no Management to back her up.

Friendly front desk staff. Very comfortable bed. Lot of options for breakfast. We were next to the dining area and could hear the loud squeal of the chairs moving in our room. Would appreciate maybe putting some felt on the bottom of the chairs for easier gliding and noise reduction. The staff assigned to the breakfast area was very unfriendly in manner and disposition. She didn’t respond to any hellos, and would get in the way of guests without any communication. Otherwise, very nice stay, would recommend this place for future visits.

Upon check-in, we were given a room where the door was ajar and bed was unmade. A little disturbing since check-in was past midnight. The next room the key did not open the door, however the friendly desk clerk make sure the next key did operate. After check out my card (which was supposedly only for a $20 temporary hold) was charged four times. With a charge of $105.97 processed through. This room had been prepaid using Orbitz. I am now in the process of getting the money refunded through my credit card company and having to deal with the lengthy process of submitting records, receipts, and multiple phone calls. ALWAYS INSIST ON RECEIPT UPON CHEK-OUT!

Great ! Clean

Everything was good except the bed. The king size mattress must have been from the 80’s and was hard as a rock. I could barely walk the next day when I got out of the bed. I never complain about anywhere I sleep but that was the WORST bed I have ever slept in. Hopefully it was isolated to just that one room.

Nice clean like new room

There was a power outage from 1300 to 2145, on 4/7/2023. No access to rooms, it was cold and raining. We were not offered a credit or anything else.

I hope this message finds you well. I want to start by extending our sincerest apologies for the inconveniences you encountered during your recent stay at our hotel. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we take it very seriously.I'm truly sorry to hear about the issues you faced upon check-in, especially the condition of the room you were initially assigned. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and I understand how it must have been unsettling, especially given the late hour.Regarding the billing concerns, I apologize for any confusion and inconvenience caused by the multiple charges. I would like to clarify that for reservations made through third-party websites such as Orbitz, the billing and receipts typically come directly from the booking platform. This process can sometimes lead to confusion, and I understand your frustration.In cases like this, we recommend contacting the booking platform directly for assistance with billing inquiries and obtaining receipts. They can provide you with the necessary documentation and address any billing discrepancies. However, we do understand the importance of providing a smooth and trouble-free experience for our guests, and we will use your feedback to improve our processes and communication in this regard.Again, I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as you work to resolve the issue with your credit card company. If there are any further details or assistance you require, please feel free to reach out to our front desk, and we will do our best to assist you.Thank you for choosing our hotel, and we hope that you might consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more seamless and enjoyable stay in the future.
