When we check-in on Friday our first impression was good. The lobby looked nice and was decorated well. The buildings themselves looked new. But unfortunately new was not the case. This place had obviously been renovated in the last couple of years. It didn’t really show until you got in the rooms. The tub had been covered up with one of those plastic surrounds, top and bottom. There was about 2 inches of the old white tiles peeking over the top of the plastic and the tub creaked and gave way slightly while standing in it. Another big giveaway was the room carpet. they either had not replaced it or had with the cheapest stuff they could find as it stained, showing wear and starting to come up in the corners. I guess another clue was the “vintage” TV.
You are now rightly asking yourself, “Why does he stay in Holiday Inns if every time the experience s*cks?” The reason is I am a Priority Club member and I get points towards a free night every time I stay. How lame is that?
