Holiday Inn

The room was clean and comfortable, and check-in was fine. My only complaint is one that I have with many hotels of this sort. I sleep much better in a darkened room. The parking lot was lit with floodlights--well, fine, I understand why--and although the sheer curtains were closed there was no way to close heavy curtains to block out the light. Why won't these hotel chains let me have a dark room?

I'm an IHG Elite customer, so let me start by saying, I prefer IHG hotels to other hotels. Not in this case. I'll also say that I already reviewed this stay via my IHG account, and the review was taken down, so traveler beware. I received an apology email from management yesterday, yet today I received a notification saying my review didn't post. Yeah ok. The biggest problem I had with this hotel is that all of them are non-smoking, yet the stench of WEED on my floor (4) was ridiculous from the moment I got there until the moment I left. And that was 3pm-ish so not a night party thing. The place needs to be upgraded (dark and dated), and the clientele is not what it used to be (I've stayed here a few times prior to this stay).

My wife and I stayed here for a night on our way to NY. Overall, we generally like Holiday Inns, but we will likely not be returning here. Pros: - convenient location (right by GW Bridge) - relatively clean rooms - designated quiet area rooms available Cons: - first front desk staff didn’t wear a mask at all, and didn’t seem to have on nearby (& didn’t enforce rules on guests who only had their mouths covered) - hallways and elevators often smelled strongly of weed - rooms are generally outdated & our stay would have been better if some things were renovated - in particular, the heater was REALLY LOUD and woke up my wife at least twice (while it was on auto)
