Never AGAIN !!
I booked this hotel based on being Pet Friendly per my search request which showed this Hotel on Hotels.com site. I read the Holiday Inn policies on this site Before booking my room. Under Pet Policy it states Pet fee is $50.00 Check out time listed on Hotels.com states 12 noon When reviewing Hotel information and policies, a potential guest Expects information presented is going to be exactly same upon Arrival. That was NOT the situation we experienced. Not to mention the Hotel is located in an unsafe area of town. Issue #1) Upon arrival, Guest Services clerk claimed there were No available rooms for pets because the 4 rooms allotted were already occupied. She claimed she would need to call mgr to get override/permission for us to stay there. I had a reservation already Issue #2) I was charged $75.00 for pet fee vs $50.00 and was told they don't have control over "misinformation" shown on Hotels.com site. Clerk refused to honor price shown in writing on this site. Issue#3) Check out at Front Desk shows 11:00 am vs 12 noon as written on Hotels.com site Issue #4) Drug addicts loitering on property at night asking guest for Cash for food. Scared US to Death to get out of vehicle to enter hotel. I offered food i had brought back from my family's house, but homeless addict didn't want the food and kept insisting on cash. He finally walked away after my husband made it clear several times we didn't have cash available. I advised night mgr at front desk how scared we were!!
