My car got broken into and the management/front desk personnel were very impolite and not willing to do anything to help the horrible situation that we had to undergo during our stay there. We picked this hotel assuming it was safe, and because I’ve had good experience with so many other Holiday Inns around the country. The management was very rude, and said ‘What’s your argument? This is not our problem!’. I’m a priority member for years, and by far this is the worst Holiday Inn experience ever. Our car was parked right in front of the main entrance and there was a security camera right above the car. But the Police told us the camera did not record anything (Hotel didn’t put tape in the security Camera). The thieves got away with electronics and other valuables in the car and it was a huge loss for us to fix the car and replace what was stolen. I was so upset to get a call at 7am only to find out that my car got broken into. I UNDERSTAND that it’s out of the hotel’s control to know when thieves brake into cars, but they were not TRUTHFUL enough to let the guests know that the security camera’s in front DON’T work. They did nothing to warn the guests. Everyone was under the impression that they worked and cars were under surveillance. To top that management argued with us when we were facing such a bad situation on their property, in front of their main entrance!! There were NO refunds, NO apologies, NO nothing from the hotel to better the situation. We were not the only ones; there were other cars that got broken into as well. And they didn’t do anything for anyone; one of those people was a platinum member. We left the hotel with a broken window, all our electronics and other valuables stolen, ruined vacation, and such a disappointment with the hotel management. I will never stay in this hotel again!!!
