Terrible hotel, do not stay here

The hotel was very dirty. The staff were not friendly and everyone seemed like they had better things to do. There is not parking. There is not breakfast, even though I paid extra for these things when booking. The "bar" did not have wine or tonic water. The valet was in-your-face, but would only park you car... you have to get it in the morning.

The stay was ok. I had an unruly neighbor but once i reported it to the front desk, it was addressed immediately. I really appreciated it! The hotel has a-lot of wear and tear that should be addressed.

DONT STAY HERE

This was the worst experience of my life. I got stuck in the elevator on like the 4th day and when I arrived the elevator was down but they assured us it was fixed. They charged me an extra $537 and the manager was very rude when questioned about it and could not explain it. The desk clerks were rude with the exception of one and because i was livid about getting stuck in the elevator and the other things leading up to that point a desk clerk asked me to leave but would not let me go up to my room to collect my belongings so the police were called and they treated me like a common criminal. There were others patrons saying the same things I was and they all said this was nothing like other Hotel Indigo’s they had stayed in.

Terrible decision to stay here!

The room was not clean, what looked like sticky ketchup on the floor by the entry door, appeared not to have been mopped, hair left in the shower, room phone didn’t work when I needed to call the front desk and to top it off NO HEAT on a night that was 20* outside and had a room full of windows! It was freezing in the room!! I made 3 trips downstairs to complain to the front desk to please get it working, but she seemed too busy on the ph with earbud in her ear to care and told me no maintenance available on the weekends. I asked for it to be fixed by next morning and to speak to the manager, which neither happened before I checked out on Sunday morning. I’ve stayed at this location numerous times over the years, but it’s beyond terrible now and I WILL NOT EVER stay here again!

Good, but no cigar.

I had only three problems with IGH, otherwise everything else was fine. First, I couldn't get the temperature in the room to stay above 71 degrees, and it was 28 degrees outside for 3 of the 5 nights. So, with the 6 huge windows in the room, it constantly felt cold at night. Secondly, while there was a coffee maker in the room, there was no regular coffee and no coffee cups - even though the towels were changed every day. Finally, the hand soap dispenser and the body lotion dispenser went empty on the 3rd day and were not refilled by day 5. Little things, but they make a big difference to the stay

This property probably needs better management. We arrived to a room that was not fully cleaned. The linens were piled in a chair. The front desk employee, Lexie, was doing her best to find us a fully cleaned room, but we were not the only customers that were disappointed. Despite paying an extra $10 for our son, there were only two towels. The shower leaked which caused water to pool on the floor. Despite being on the top floor, the street noise was awful. Cars raced up and down the street all night. I do not recommend this property.
