They could care less action would be

There was a vent in the room that came straight up from the pool area so you could hear everybody chatting and playing by the pool when it came time to wake up in the morning and you let the water run for 20-30 minutes and it still never got even warm. Parking is $37 for one day and there’s not really street parking available only a few spots nearby. The staff really didn’t seem to care when you asked them questions we’re trying to get hot water.

This hotel downgraded my room even though I booked and paid for it weeks prior to my stay- they said they glad several bookings in the few days prior to our stay so they had to downgrade my room. No offer of a refund. Very poor business tactics. I feel it was because I booked through Expedia which I will not do again and will not book at holiday inn again as well
