Hotel not as advertised. Hotel not up to Hilton or Hampton standards; I guess Holiday Inn has much lower standards. Mold, damp, cigarette smell, musky, humidifiers running in room, unsafe electrical set and cable management in room, broken items in room, old artifacts (ie wall thermostats that looked like they had burned up) still in room, tub water running and enamel worn off and shipped off, dark parking lot, bar music heard from 5th floor at 10:30 pm, rude staff, unclean bed sheets/bed spread, expired elevator certificates, the outside is completely off putting like a mental institute or old government office building, elevator light for floor indicator broken on both, completely outdated - no USB ports even, curtains that are brown and don’t close, and the absolute worse vibes of being unsafe ever - pretty sure there are cameras in the room, just not around for the safety of the guests. This was the worse hotel I’ve stayed in recent memory and that includes hotels in Baltimore, DC, NYC, and small no-name towns. The advertisement photos are misleading and I was not able to get my money back though we did not stay, I should have looked at other reviews and realized the documented struggle with same. The feeling of being watched was so strong that even after I swept the hotel room with my phone, I’m pretty sure there were cameras. Absolutely not. This hotel should probably be condemned or at least visited by the health department and the fired department for safety; the detector in the room looked outdated (over 10 years old) and the sprinkler looked to have been dislodged at some point. There was a single old outlet ***** with a humidifier, microwave, coffee pot, and refrigerator plugged into it. There were cords strung across the floor. It was disturbing to see blatant violations that I would not expect a hotel brand to own alongside the general neglect and staff conduct/poor attitude, condescension and laughter when asked if there’s a non-expired certificate of safety for their janky elevator.
