Mediocre at best

Bed was very comfortable but room was tired and the carpet was filthy. Front desk offered twice to add my stay to my points account but nothing is showing. This property is mediocre and not the typical standard of other IHG properties where I have stayed.

We wait 20 mins for the shuttle even tho i asked 3 times where it was with no response. I will never stay there again
