Matthew, Manhattan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked this hotel for a fun weekend with family. The pool room was 50° with the air conditioner running in the middle of winter. The breakfast was empty and everyone was upset. The TV in our room was broken. Staff was minimally helpful. Staff finally agreed to give us a refund. Did not actually give us refund. Stopped answering the phone when we called to see why they failed to keep their refund promise. Do not do business with this hotel.

Nothing good. The rooms I booked were not available because the card readers for the doors were broken. The check in staff couldn't figure out how to authorize the incidental deposit on my company credit card. Once the guys were finally in their rooms, the card reader broke again leaving one guy stranded in the hall and ultimately spending two hours with a maintenance man in his room until 11pm working on the door.

The staff was very nice. This property was clean but clearly older, dark, and shabby. Considering the exorbitant price per night, we expected a much nicer property. The worst problem was finding this hotel! Hotels.com has the wrong address posted for this Holiday Inn Express! We discovered this when we drove to the posted address only to be told we were at the wrong Holiday Inn Express! Hotels.com needs to post the correct address!

There was trash not cleaned up by housekeepers left from previous guests. The pull out bed was absolutely disgusting with bad stains, the third floor smelled of pee with a puppy pad in the hallway. The ice machines didn’t work, the pool was not cleaned very well and felt gritty.

The facility is old. We didn’t even stay. Check in and it was nasty. Our non smoking room very much smelled like smoke. The shower had mold all over it and the ceiling looked like it could fall in at any moment. The staff was terrible. Asked for more bedding and they wanted us to come get it….. But we checked out 15 minutes after we checked in and went somewhere else that was better.

Don't Just Don't

Where to begin. The room itself was fine, room was clean, the bed good and the pillows better than average. However, at about 8:am the fire alarm went off, and it kept going on and off for over 15 minutes. Person at the desk was on the phone and the housekeeping staff were jut going about their work. The breakfast area was HORRIBLE. The Cinnamon rolls were under a warming light, but were FROZEN. the tables and the floor was filthy. There were two guys in the kitchen area but made no attempt to clean anything. The property is full of weeds. On top of all of this, they charged $100 for incidental fees. We stayed at two other nice hotels over the weekend and they charged only $20. Never, Never Again.
