  I stayed at the Holiday Inn on March 2nd -3rd 2025 and I paid $40 a day to park my car in their parking garage. I told them that I had my bikes locked and attached to my car. I was told that they would be safe because they had onsite security as well as 24 hours surveillance. I parked my car on around 5 PM when I came back out March 3 at 7 AM and the bikerack and all of my bikes were missing. I filed a police report and I filed a report that day with the Holiday Inn. Two weeks later and many runaround phone calls, I threatened to have a lawyer get involved and miraculously ****** ****** from ******** Insurance sent me an email and followed up with my claim.(Claim # 4A2503DTXP5-0001 - Direct line **************.****** Bless *. ****** DIRECT ************ |FAX ************ ************************************************************** ******************************* *********** told me that she had not received the police report or the information that I filed with Holiday Inn and had only been notified of my claim the day before. (That would have been 2 weeks after the incident was filed with the police and the holiday inn) so on that day, I sent all if it to her. A.week later, she followed back up and told me that because the security was done by a third-party company they were not responsible and they were awaiting information from the Holiday Inn in regards to the name and number of that security company. Its been two or three weeks since then and I still have not heard back. Ive called and asked for the supervisor-**** ******** from the Holiday Inn to please let me know if he has in fact sent the security information over to Sedgwick or not but nobody is returning my phone calls. Its now been a month and a half since the incident with very minimal contact from the people who are supposed to be handling my claim. I stayed specifically at that Holiday Inn because they assured me that they had 24 hour security and on site surveillance. I need help settling this.

  In Oct 2024, I visited **************** in ******** I was told ( *****) if I do a 90 minute timeshare sales pitch, I could get a free 7 night stay AT ******************* No blackout dates. Must use within 12 months. I could not make the tour work with our schedule. So I came back March 2025 and asked if the deal still stands. ****** said YES! I said great Ill do it.I paid $75, which was returned to me after 150 min tour ( not 90). I was given $40 in food vouchers for doing the tour the next day (vs the day I asked for). And then I was given a voucher for 7 nights which did not give me Orange Lake for free (or at all!) and it had all kinds of blackout dates for what it did offer. 100% not what I was told I would get. I spoke to *************** Their bosses, **** * ******** I was shown the book that says I should get Orange Lake yet no one giving it to me. I wrote a review on Trip Advisor. The hotel manager asked me to reach out, yet left no contact info. I spoke to reception at the hotel, which gave me an email to write. I finally ended up with ******, Director of **************** Said hed follow up daily until resolved. Didnt happen. He passed me off to ***** worst employee. Rude, dismissive, all around unkind and unhelpful. Its been 2+ weeks. No resolution. Ive spoken with 7 people and today they gave me another number to call and see what they can do.I did my part. I went on a 90 min tour for 150 min. Give me what I was promised.

  I had searched for Holiday Inn Express online and when I found on ****** and got the website of the hotel it sent me to. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************** the language on this website led me to believe that I was booking directly with this hotel. We decided ultimately that we did not want this reservation anymore and we cancelled this booking within their booking window. We received confirmation for one but did not receive a confirmation for the second reservation. Come to when the bank statement comes there are two charged from the Holiday Inn, one from the hotel and one from *******. These combined costs also ended up being more than the amount that was on the receipt.

  I traveled to ***********, ** for a personal trip with my family. I booked my stay at Holiday Inn ******************************************, **********************************************************************************. My confirmation was ********, check-in: Mar. 14, 2025, check-out: Mar. 15, 2025.Upon arrival at the hotel late that night, there was a strong smoke smell throughout the building. The front desk clerk said that a homeless encampment outside the building started a campfire, and the smoke entered through the laundry chute and infiltrated the entire location across multiple floors. The front desk clerk said that the fire department had been called, and that the building was safe. Unfortunately, three-of-four in my party are allergic to smoke. This completely ruined our trip. We had to buy medicine for sinus issues throughout our trip, and it interrupted our nightly rest. - 3/19/2025: I contacted ***'s **************** about the incident. I spoke with a representative named ****** in Guest Relations. He opened case # ***********. He said that the general manager from the property would contact me in 48 hours about my complaint. - 3/21/2025: I had not heard from the facility by 4:06p ET, so I called Guest Relations at *** corporate. I spoke with ******, and then with ******. They reassured me that someone would reach out on 3/21/2025. No one did.- 4/2/2025: At 10:10a ET, I called the corporate *********************** I spoke with ***. He stated that the general manager would contact me about my issue. - 4/7/2025: I contacted Guest Relations at the corporate office. I spoke with *****, and she contacted the facility and left a message for the manager to get back with me. All other representatives in Guest Relations had also tried to contact the facility to reach the **, but the ** was out at the time or they were busy with a guest. I am requesting a refund of the *** points that I used to purchase the room, in full. This stay and subsequent service was unacceptable.

  While staying at your hotel at *********************************** , ************** , ******** *****. I checked in March 26th 2025 and checked out March 28th 2025. When i checked in I parked my car in the handicap parking space near the end of the building. While I was asleep my message light was triggered on my phone I decided I would call down to the desk in the morning as I had only gotten up to use the restroom. When i awoke i called down and was told that the light was turned on in error. Being a former night auditor for a Hotel I know that this was most likely not the case as I have knowledge of this type of phone system. That morning I relized that my car had been backed into and whoever did this fled the scene (Hit and run) I asked the ** to play back the footage and see who hit the car so that I could report this to their insurance. I was refused this request on 2 occasions. 1 at the hotel and the other when i called in again to request it thru your customer services phone # that only sent my request back to the ** to get the response "That camera does not show that area" The camera being used is a wide angle camera that in fact would have seen who did the damages (Also former security guard) so i am aware of this camera system and its abilities. There are valet parkers there at the hotel that could have caused the damages and either not reported it or since the light was triggered in the late night hours for the phone. reported and then it was removed to keep someone from getting into trouble. Either way this was not handled properly and has left me with damages that will be well over $2k to repair. Not only that the response from the ** was "You park at your own risk" in a very condescending tone. I am asking that your company fix my car due to this issue as i do not drive a ******. please feel free to call me. If not available please leave a message.

  We made a reservation for my girlfriend's elderly father, aged 81, to stay at a hotel across the street. We paid $396 for the reservation. He cannot walk well, so having the booking right across the street is the only reasonable accommodation for him as he cannot walk or take the subway well. The day of check in, April 2, 2025, the hotel calls to inform us that they are overbooked and they want to move him to a hotel which is a 30 minute walk or 20 minute drive away. When I went to speak to the hotel manager, Guy ***********, he informed he that he would not provide a room in the hotel we had booked. He told me that, despite taking a reservation for the hotel, the hotel had been booked for 5 days. Despite apparently knowing of this overbooking he or his general manager, ****** ******, could not bother to inform us of this until hours before check in. I informed Mr. *********** and Mr. ****** of my father-in-law's disability, and we specifically reserved a mobility-accessible room, but they refused to accommodate him.

  Despite writing to this corporation many times, they continue to violate my privacy by including sensitive personal information in email communications. There is no option to opt out of these communications.

  I checked in to this hotel on 3/18 and checked out around 4:10 am on 3/24 and received my paper receipt to file an expense report with my company ***. I had to leave my suitcase due to being over weight capacity for my flight. I got a phone call and voicemail the following day asking about the suitcase and if I wished to extend my stay or check out. I didnt answer until I saw my card get 2 more charges which led me to go on the *** app and check out for the second time despite already having done so. I called to dispute this and couldnt get a manager on the phone. I eventually got the managers email and they wouldnt respond to the multiple emails I sent. So I made a case on the *** app to dispute this and when they finally got back to me they said the manager already spoke to me claiming that leaving the suitcase is grounds to charge me for more nights. That isnt even their policy and it was a flat out lie. IHG sided with the hotel just off that alone and ignored all of my receipts and screenshots of unanswered emails and phone calls. Now I have $292.39 dollars of my money taken without my knowledge or permission. Im disputing this charge on 3/31 when my bank is open. I just want my money back I could care less if something happens to these people I cannot believe this is even happening.

  We are here in Atlanta Georgia for the big south volleyball tournament and were forced to book hotel through the *** (stay to play). We were booked with this hotel and arrived Thursday. Friday morning, everyone woke up to no hot water for showers. Its now day two of tournament and STILL no hot water with entire youth volleyball teams playing several games each day. Hotel has told us nothing and wont respond to calls, corporate said someone should be working on it but nobody is here working on anything. Front desk said it was an inconvenience to which I responded, No. LOUD hallways are inconvenient, hot water is literally a hotel service. They have water and power just arent doing anything to fix this and we have hundreds of players here unable to shower without risking hypothermia. This is wrong on so many levels. We are forced by the tournament to stay here. This place is an absolute dump. No communication from management or corporate about status. This cannot be legal, these kids need showers. Help!!

  This is a formal complaint against IHG ******************************** (Holiday Inn Express) regarding miscommunication, and the refusal to resolve a billing issue I encountered during my international trip. Prior to my departure from ******* to *************** on March 22, 2025, I reserved and fully prepaid two separate stays at a Holiday Inn Express in ****** through ***. I specifically requested a room for 3 adults and pd accordingly.When I arrived at the hotel, I was told the room was for 2 adults and 1 child aged *****. This was never disclosed to me at the time of booking. The hotel staff then refused to honor my reservation and forced me to pay for another room, costing me over $400 more. I requested to speak with a manager, and I was told that the person I was speaking to was the manager. She was extremely rude, advising me to call *** directly. When I requested assistance in contacting ***, she simply gave me the Wi-Fi code and directed me to handle it myself. I immediately contacted ***, who assured me they would investigate and respond within 48 hours. They failed to follow up, forcing me to call back multiple times. Each time I called, I was transferred to a new agent, requiring me to re-explain the situation repeatedly. While the agents were apologetic, they claimed that the issue was the hotels responsibility and that *** could not process a refund. Conversely, the hotel insisted it was **** responsibility. This finger-pointing and lack of accountability not only ruined my vacation experience but left me financially burdened by an additional cost I should not have had to pay. The reservation agent or system should have been aware of the occupancy policy for the hotel before processing my reservation.I am requesting a full refund of the additional charges (over $400) for the extra room I was forced to book due to misinformation and poor customer service by both IHG and the ********************** Express hotel. *** should have given my money back from rhe initial booking.
