Dear Holiday Inn Phonenix,
Your hotel is crap. The experience was terrible. We stayed in your hotel downtown to be closer to a conference in lieu of our home which was 30 minutes away. Bad choice.
It was early April so the outside temperature was still cool. But the room was hot. I set the AC to a crisp 69 degrees and expected permafrost on my sheets in short order. Instead I had the sweats until about 3AM at which point the AC kicked in.
The walls are terribly thin. Luckily the AC unit, although barely functioning, sounded like a WW1 biplane driven by my grandfather's buddy earl. While it was quiet I heard the voices of my neighbors, during full-blast I wasn't able to hear my girlfriend speak in full voice. Again, not a conducive sleep environment.
Lastly, checkout was scheduled at 10AM. So why was it that my the cleaning staff knocked on my door at 8:30, 9 and 9:30 to enter? Let people sleep!!!!
Thanks for the room. You should have paid us to stay there.
