The hotel pictures look fine but once inside you will find a run-down hotel in need of major renovation. I am allergic to black mold and as soon as I walked into our room I knew we could not stay there. New hotels nearby for a few dollars more a night. The only plus for this hotel is the manager (Kathy) and her staff who were kind, professional, and helpful.More

Avoid this hotel- it was dirty, run down, and beat up. We switched rooms twice- the first smelled of smoke. The second had problems with the air conditioning. After the second we left and went to the Marriott. I saw the bad reviews but was hopeful since it was IHG but again I was wrong. Second time a Holiday Inn has been so bad I left.

I received Horrible Customer service at this hotel last week, including the front desk staff swearing at my wife and I. Can a GM please post their email address so I can discuss this further? I have tried to research this and have found a GM named Brad Forsyth, but no way to contact him.

First off the rooms are disgusting, if you need towels you have to go get them yourself. AC didn’t work when we checked in and we were told no maintenance guys were around. Bathrooms look like something out of bates motel . Avoid at all costs!
Hi G8749NAseanw,

Though brilliant stays are what we promise, I'm worried that you had otherwise. I am sorry to learn about the issues encountered during your recent stay with us, particularly with our room and bathroom cleanliness, our staff's lapses, the limited towels, and the defective AC. IHG Hotels & Resorts sincerely cares about your experience, and I appreciate your taking the time to let us know. I have shared your comments with hotel management, who responded with genuine concern for the impact this had on your stay. I know they appreciate you sharing your experience and am confident they will take steps so this doesn’t happen again. ave sent you a private message to obtain additional details regarding your stay.
I hope you will give us a chance of staying with us again to show you that your unsatisfactory stay was an exception.

First of all the staff is great. The room is fine and the location is what we needed.
We show up at 1:30 PM and no check in. No one is allowed to check in until 3. What? I can see that as normal check in time but I know there were rooms ready. Makes no sense. Asked for late checkout as we were going to cut it close to getting back. Nope! Nada. It’s because of an event at the Speedway. Well that’s why we want late checkout. Only wanted a noon checkout. Wouldn’t budge. Again, makes no sense.
Pool sign says it closes at 11 but because of ‘Covid’ it close at 6pm. ??!! It’s an unmanned pool. What close early. Covid comes out at 6 PM but it’s OK before then?
And all these hotels that use to offer breakfast are milking Covid so they don’t have to give service. Every restaurant around here is open and I can go sit down, inside and eat. No issues. But this breakfast is not open. No reason and using Covid is now an excuse, not a reason. They don’t have servers.
Great staff but I doubt I’ll be back. There are enough other hotels in the area. I remember how I’m treated and this place really doesn’t care about me as a customer.
Hi 519duaner.
Thank you for leaving us your review and for making us a part of your visit here in Florida City! We're grateful that you chose the Holiday Inn Express.
We're known in delivering guest satisfaction and serving travelers needs, 519duaner, but I'm sorry that you we felt we came in short in satisfying what you're looking for. I read that it'll be less likely that you'd consider us again because of the changes we have to temporarily implement. I understand your dismay with your declined request for early check-in and late check-out, the pool hours, and breakfast arrangements. Please know that most of these measures were put in place to help curb the possible spread of the pandemic and we're evaluating these depending on how the situation progresses.
On a lighter note, it's great that we've made you feel our warm hospitality and the room just what you needed it to be. Trust that this has been brought upon our management's attention and be discussed within all concerned staff. We may not have been our best on this trip but I'm positive to end this with a 5-stars if you only give us another chance. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay with us.
Kind regards,
Frank A.

Hotel did not serve breakfast. They made no attempt in advance to tell me there was no breakfast. Have stayed in numerous Holiday Inn express hotels during the pandemic but this is the only one with no breakfast
Room was next to outside door . Door open and close created noise issues. Was told that rooms with King Size beds were on the first floor so no way to avoid being next to the door. Perhaps a new door is needed.
Hi Patrick808613,
Thanks for your review and for staying with us. We aim to provide efficient and frictionless experiences for guests on the move. I am sorry to learn you were not informed about the breakfast and for any discomfort the noise issues caused you. I have alerted our management about this and am certain measures will be in place for improvements.
Again, thanks for your feedback. This may not be your greatest stay with us, but thanks for sharing your concerns. We value your input and would love a chance to make it up to you.
Sincerely,
Connie D
