Worst Hotel ever

I stayed with my family at Holiday Inn Harrisburg on the night of August 17, and it was the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had. * First, we were given Room 328, which had a strong mold smell. * After complaining, we were moved to Room 125. In the middle of the night, we felt something crawling on us and discovered ants all over the bed. * When I reported this to the front desk, the staff brushed it off as if it was normal and not a big deal. * Finally, we were moved to Room 105, but again found ants on the floor and table. We are a family of four, including two kids, and this was not only extremely uncomfortable but also unacceptable. I never expected this from a Holiday Inn property. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Definitely would not recommend this hotel.

The check-in staff was very slow and dry completely uninterested with giving basic customer service. The room was poorly designed. You have to force the bathroom door shut because the toilet is in the way. Ants, gnats were everywhere. Very limited seating for breakfast, had to take my food back to my room. For checkout you drop your room keys in a box, no person to check you out, give you a receipt, nothing. Not somewhere I would stay again.
