Didn’t like the fact that the indigo hotel and Holiday Inn were connected. Valet couldn’t take our car due to only working for the indigo hotel! The only front desk that was being use was on the Indigo hotel. We had to check in on their side then what felt like a maez

The parking was $50/night. If I would have known this ahead of time, I wouldn’t have booked here. Also, the coffee machine at breakfast has an option for hot water only but it dispenses watered down coffee instead.

The room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast is excellent. Check in is now only available through the contiguous Indigo Hotel - not a problem when it is fine, but would be inconvenient to have to walk around the block in rainy weather.

Something was coming out of the water in the shower. My son didn't realize it until he was done taking a shower. Not sure if it's because of construction but the maze we had to walk through to get to our rooms because check-in is at another part of the connected hotel is funny at best but inconvenient.

Traveled with family
Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The check in process was extremely inconvenient. I also observed plenty of other guests being irritated by having to 1) get through the hotel doors AND THEN having to follow signs and then walk a long distance to get to another hotel’s check in desk entirely (from Holiday Inn Express all the way to Hotel Indigo) AND then all the way back to the guest elevators to get to the room. This was a negative first impression and very tiring for people who just wanted to settle in a rest. Also, house keeping asked us to leave the room so they could clean it. This was all challenging for two adults who are disabled. Also they had no water available in the Holiday Inn lobby except for the first day of our 3 day stay. Many other people were also confused and justifiably annoyed with all of these inconveniences.
