“Clean, friendly, and helpfull”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

My wife and I arrived after being dissappointed with another local hotel. At check in we were greeted by Deborah, she us her undevided attention through the check in process, informed us of places to eat, and directions to our destination. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We also noticed the housekeeping staff was very curtious and professional as we passed them in the hallway. At our check out we had asked for help finding a hotel along our route. Deborah once again didn't just tell us of a suggestion, she brought us over to the lobby computer and looked several places along our route. Very nice experience, would stay again.

“Would come here again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013 via mobile

Stayed here with a wedding party, and though there were tons of people, the staff did wonderfully. The rooms were very clean, the service was more than friendly and accomodating, the pool is a nice size and very warm, and the complimentary breakfast was very good. Props and kudos for dealing with all of us crazy wedding guests!

“The best customer service out of every hotel I have ever stayed in.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

When i check in around 4pm, I wasen't expecting the receptionist (Tori) to engage in conversation with me or even ask how I was doing with a positive attitude. There was at least 12 people checking in including myself. Most of the people that was checking in were absoultly rude to her for no reason. I was standing in line observing her, and she kept a positive attitude the whole entire time, and was still smiling! When it was my turn to be check in, she asked me how I was doing and I responded not very good, she asked me what was wrong and if there was any possible way she could make my stay better. I replyed with one request joking to her to remove the construction from this area, then said no you'r doing a fantastic job already. During my stay she remainded the nicest receptionist I've ever had. I had lots of request for her to bring me extra towels, blankets, silverware, and even a cot for my kids and she met my requests with excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this Holiday inn before any other Holiday inn around.

We appreciate your comments. I could not effectively run a hotel with out a great supporting staff. Having the right people working with you makes all the difference. When people enjoy what they do it is reflected in the work that is done. We are very fortunate to have the staff we have. Without their support I could not continue to create a hotel guest love!

“Mr. Lamalfa is nothing more than a thief.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

We stayed at this hotel on November 9th, 2012. My husband and I were charged for TWO rooms! Torey the front desk clerk did not check us in under our reservation. She made a SECOND reservation unbeknownst to us. They charged us as a no show for OUR reservation. Deborah the manager said that it wasn't within her authority to refund the charges and she would have to speak with Mr. Lamalfa. She called back to inform me that he refused to refund the charges. When I asked WHY, she said that "two reservations were made." No further explanation was given and they were ALL aware that the mistake was made by one of Mr. Lamalfa's employees. In fact, I spoke to Torey again on November 12th who said that she made a mistake and those charges were going to be taken out of her paycheck. I am not sure how I was supposed to respond to that statement? I would HIGHLY reccommend that you search out another hotel before this one. I would be VERY wary when the owner of a company refuses to refund money that should RIGHTFULLY be refunded. He is just plain DISHONEST!!!

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay. Constructive criticism is always welcome, it helps the staff and management move forward in creating great hotels guest love. Guest refunds are reviewed by management and ownership, when warranted a guest refund is issued promptly. No shows are a way a hotel recoups the loss of a night’s revenue that would have been other wise rented to another guest. At check in our agents ask if you are checking in, being that we are attached to a 60,000.00 sq. ft. convention center some guest are attending a venue at our conference center and simply need direction to the event at the conference center. By using a guest's last name or confirmation number it would have easily pulled up a confirmed reservation. When these are not provided, the proper procedure would be to walk a guest into a reservation. Our cancellation policy is very liberal, we understand that life happens and changes need to be made at the last minute, so we give guests up until 6 PM the day of arrival to cancel their reservations without penalty. It is unfortunate that you have chosen to make false statements regarding the staff and management of this hotel. Something we cannot change I am afraid for the damage is done. I did speak with IHG at the onset of your request, and they had agreed prior to your recent posting to refund your No Show charge. Many hotels hire college students to cover the front desk positions, it helps them establish work history, work ethics and social interaction. Unfortunately at times, not all experiences are positive and we try to prepare our staff that there will be times when any action taken by the hotel will be viewed less than satisfactory. We sincerely hope that you will continue to consider other IHG properties in our area when making your accommodations in the future.
