Negative Reviews
negative:
Soundproofing not sufficient.
Guests mention that the soundproofing at this hotel is not good at all. They could constantly hear their neighbors, doors slamming in the hallways and traffic from the street. The room walls are too thin and are in need of better soundproofing so guests can get a good night's rest.
negative:
No free breakfast service.
Guests state that they were disappointed that there isn't a free breakfast service at this property. They mention that it is really inconvenient and that most Holiday Inn hotels offer some sort of continental breakfast bar so that guests can energize themselves in the morning with a muffin, fruit or coffee.
negative:
Extra charges.
Guests mention that they were very disappointed that there were all these hidden charges such as for food, microwaves and minifridges. They believe it all should be included in the price of the room stay.
