Worst experience I've ever had in a hotel. Way over priced for what they offered. Bathroom had obvious water leaks in the roof, shower had cracked and chipped tiles with visible hard water buildup on the shelves and shower head. The shower head looked like it hadn't been changed for decades. Their were strange hairs all over the sink and shower walls. The toilet backed up on it's first use. Walls are thin and you can hear every noise your neighbors make. But, the worst aspect were the rock hard mattress on the bed. I woke up stiff and sore each morning and my son didn't sleep more than a couple of hours a night he was so uncomfortable. Now, two days after my stay, I was charged another $50. Apparently, there is an additional $22 a night "service fee". I don't know what services they offered to have the audacity to charge extra for but this stay not only ensures I will never book another night at this location but I will be swearing off staying at any Holiday Inn property ever again

Went for the day for AEW Worlds End. I was looking for something safe and affordable since I had a day off that day. I got one of the last rooms there and it turned out to a master suite for one which was a pleasant surprise. I loved my room and it looked so nice. I enjoyed every bit of my experience and I will sure be a repeat customer next time I travel. The staff was amazing and the hotel looks phenomenal. 10,000/10 would recommend 🙌

First I will point out that the staff is very nice and attentive. I was always greeted with a smile and that made the overall experience much better. Now the first room we received was not cleaned properly at all. The side table had crumbs of food on it, the smell of mildew hit you in the face as you walked in. The smell was coming from the bathroom, the best way to describe the smell is that of a public restroom very off putting. There were hairs on the hand towel. We did put up with it for the night as it was late and we had a long flight. In the morning I spoke with the assistant manager Alex and he was able to get us into another room that same day within a couple of hours. This was much appreciated and he threw in free breakfast for everyone in our party for the remainder of the stay. Alex handled everything so politely and apologetically. The new room smelled perfect and was really clean. Now the beds that's another issue, they are very firm so we woke up with back pain several times. The bed was so uncomfortable that it kept us up at night. The sheets made us sweat and were not that soft. The towels were scratchy and thin. Overall would I stay here again? I'm on the fence only because as I said the staff was very nice. The breakfast was pretty decent and service was great. Recommendation to management is maybe investing in mattress toppers, better sheets, and towels. Definitely cleanliness of the rooms needs to be better inspected prior to guests arriving.
