We had trouble at check in. The front desk [grant] was very un professional/not very helpful. And At the pool, my 12 yo daughter was bothered by a drunk/unwell person, called her dumb and also called my sister a child rapist for no reason. And when we reported it to the hotel attendant [Grant]he basically told us that we are lying and we should deal with it ourselves. So strange. My family travels a lot but we will not stay here at Holiday inn and express in Lancaster. OH.

Second time staying at this hotel. Lovely stay. My only complaint is that there are an excessive number of parking spots for electric vehicles to charge. Both times staying these spots were mostly empty. We had to park in the back of the hotel, which wasn't the end of the world, but I think that there are far too many reserved spots for EV's that don't seem to be needed
