bartender on duty 11/19 6pm was not customer focused and the bar was low or out of typical on hand brands. Automatic check out on 11/20 was not working leading to a few people standing at the unstaffed front desk for 15 minutes while other staff members walking around ignored us. I grabbed a walkie talkie off desk and asked for help. Attendant who responded was obviously inconvenienced and offered no apology. Went into restaurant same day at 8am and was walked from table to table 4 times before seated. proceeded to buffet and there were no eggs, no potatoes. Told a staff member and they did refill them. My first and last time ever to a Holiday Inn.

Needs an all-around refresh
This property is showing its age. The bed was fairly uncomfortable, both the bathroom sink and toilet had leaks, and it appears that the hallway carpeting is vacuumed only intermittently (since the crumbs that were there when I checked in were still there days later). I would have alerted hotel staff to the bathroom leaks (which were minor), but the service I received there was so poor on Day 1 that I avoided the front desk completely for the rest of my stay.

My kids loved the property. They loved the pool and the room. We don’t get to go away often. I work in healthcare and don’t get much time off. The staff was nice and friendly to my kids. Great location to Boston and easy to get to. We will definitely be back when we can.

Both mornings I was awakened at 6am with an unwanted wake up call. I contacted the desk to ask them to discontinue any wake up calls and was told by Sean that the problem was fixed. However the very next morning I was awakened again by the intrusive call. This hotel has a very convenient shuttle service with very nice and courteous drivers. Wait staff in the restaurant were very pleasant and attentive. This is a good place to stay…just watch out for wake up calls!
