Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “i also really just didn't expect the rooms to be so dirty every time. i get mistakes but that many rooms is crazy.” 1
- “id also just like to reiterate i did ask for clean sheets in the first 3 rooms which the manager refused to give us until the 5th room. i wouldn't have gone to 6 rooms to begin with had we just been given clean sheets.” 1
- “Reply Share capn-crunch419 • 7mo ago yeah my boyfriend & i just are talking about making the switch to another brand. we had issues with an IHG overcharging our card back in december and that took almost 2 months to resolve and even then our bank resolved it not IHG.” 1
- “Comfortable beds and clean linens for a pleasant stay” 3
- “At this point, we want to talk to the manager. He has not come to help the front desk employee or help us resolve the issue. Instead, he tells us that "we clearly have no intentions on being happy here".” 1

- “Good breakfast with plenty of options including cinnamon rolls” 3
- “If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs to block out noise from passing planes during the day” 3
