Happy Trails

Our stay was in the middle of a snow storm. Heat went out in our room. They didn't fix heat nor did they reimburse us anything in the cost of our room for not having heat in it. People at front desk were very unprofessional and not friendly at all. Would never stay here again or never recommend it to anyone, not even in a snow storm.

Let me start by saying about half the hotel looked like it was being remodeled, so perhaps when it is completed it will be better. My husband has platinum status with Holiday Inn so we are suppose to always get an automatic upgade. That didn't happen because no upgraded rooms were available. Not a huge deal as I really just needed a place to sleep on the way to St. Louis. Walked into the room and the sink for the bathroom is right next to you when you walk in. Just an unexpected look to a hotel room. The real killer was the parking light that shined right into my window, and even with the light blocking curtain there was a glow into the room. Also, the doors to the armoire tv cabinet didn't stay open unless you pulled the tv out to prop them open. Breakfast was typical, but so crowded I couldn't stand to be there. If all you really want is a bed (and not necessarily a dark room), you'll be fine.

AC unit would not turn on. I called the front desk and spoke with a woman who was unhelpful and unknowledgeable about how the system should work. After she continued to argue about it with me, I finally gave up as it was 10 PM. She clearly had no intentions to make things right. So much for hospitality. I got sleep in a hot room with the widow open and listen to the highway all night. I will never stay at this hotel again. Rude staff, very slow internet, and the entire 2nd floor smells like a nursing home.
