Worst experience at a Hotel I never stayed at

Well I went in to ask about ethernet, I was told I couldnt use it in the lobby but needed to get a room. Which I was told I couldnt they were full. I then told desk clerk I was able to book it on hotels.com , he scarffed snarffed and snarled - was so rude to me. I went to the room and NO ETHERNET - I came out immediately almost in tears saying I had to leave there is no ethernet. Desk clerk was EVEN RUDER refusing to refund me do to a communication error. I called to complain and they called again on monday Aug 4th to only get denied the refund so rudely.

Hotel was fine, we really like Holiday Inns. Cleanliness was ok, little dirty or lacked that fresh feeling. Only 2 sets of towels, yes it was 2 ppl, but an extra would have been nice. The overall cleanliness of basics…bed, trash etc was great.

Almost 5 stars

I would give 5 stars but the bathroom was unsatisfactory. The bathroom fan did not work, the lighting was very poor, the water backed up when showering and the grout and tub appeared dirty. Customer.service 5 stars. The staff was excellent. Overall appearance good. Kids loved the pool and hot tub.

Location perfect for why we were in town but the room was not cleaned appropriately When you find cob webs, dust peeling paint and hair on the counters and in the shower it makes you wonder how well it was really cleaned!!😳
