Nothing to review, they called at the last moment and cancelled my booking for some stupid reason. I think they overbooked, but obviously no way to prove it. When asked if they'd help in booking me another place because I was already on my way and that is what good hospitality practice dictates, they said they cannot and that's that. It's abhorrent and they should go out of business.

Overall, we enjoyed our visit as it was great for a family with kids. The pool area is amazing and the server at breakfast was great. The bar was not open which was a bummer and the front desk staff were unhelpful.

Unfair and money grabbing treatment

This is a review about this hotel's cancellation policy and their complete unwillingness to refund for a portion of multi day reservation what is supposed to be a customer's right. Please note, I am a member of IHG and hotels.com for over 15 years, and Holiday Inns have been a preferred choice of stay, I never cancel reservations but as there is always a first time, it happened last week. My group of guests incurred some travel issues on Canada-US border and we could not continue on our trip to Boston. I understood immediately that my first night of reservation is non-applicable for a refund, but as our reservation was a two-nights stay, I requested for a refund for a second night, on which I got a resolute no as an answer, without further explanation, even after multiple requests. I am not yet sure of my next steps in this, but I wanted to inform future customers about this and in hope someone from upper IHG management would see this and a treatment for a long term IHG and hotels.com customer. I travel and stay a lot in hotels while travelling, and I will seriously consider my future reservations with IHG group.
