The hotel is basically a construction zone from 7am-6pm
The hotel staff are all very nice, helpful and pleasant.
But the hotel is undergoing complete renovation, with constant noise of large trucks and forklifts loading and unloading large pieces of rubble, as well as furniture, carpet rolls, and other equipment, which end up strewn all over the parking lot. Other constant noise comes from sledgehammers and electric saws, and there is a lot of hammering and drilling. The trucks and equipment constantly block the parking lot, so getting your car in or out of the lot is often difficult. The construction workers try to accommodate the guests, but why should guests even have to deal with this major level of noise and inconvenience?
We didn't know about the major level of noise or construction when we booked on the Staybridge website, and the noise and inconvenience increased significantly on our final day.
That Holiday Inn is charging full or only slightly discounted rates during this construction is unbelievable (an AAA rate for a week night is $147.99!!). The hotel staff do the best they can for their guests under these circumstances, so I don't blame them, but I do blame their corporation. I asked for a discount for the last day due to the fact that all the water in the hotel was turned off from 10am-1pm with only 2 hours' notice (!!). I got a slight discount, but not enough to make me want to stay at another Holiday Inn property in the future.
