Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is poorly maintained. AC has been broken for weeks/months when you read through the comments. Advertised Hot Tub has no working heater and was colder than the pool. Manager Deron Lane and front desk staff “Victor” are rude,very unprofessional and liars. I checked in on a Thursday to the AC being broken and was told by a team member “open the window sun will go down soon” my room was 80 degrees. The following day i checked in on the status of repair and was told it was not fixed and no time frame. No alternative accommodation was offered to me. When I returned later in the day to a room at a temp of 79, a fan had been put by the bathroom sink but not turned on. The fan did nothing during the day to bring the temperature in the room to a comfortable level and at night it did minimal to change the temperature. With having to keep the window open for any sort of relief from the heat I had the joy of having ants in my room- on both the bed and chair- on Saturday. I reported this to the front desk and it took 3 times of asking for assistance before someone came and addressed it. When i mentioned that it was likely due to needing to have the window open the person laughed and said “yeah”. Upon my early departure from this property i reiterated my issues and was met with terrible response. When pointing out how long it took for help with ants the Deron said “well someone came didn’t they”. I have never been treated this way at a Holiday Inn and I have stayed at many.
