"Ok. I'm blind, I lost my photo I'd, so."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Ok, I'm blind. I lost my photo I'd on the way, so was not able to stay in my pre booked room. I scrambled, with no help from staff, to find another lodging arrangemen. The still charged me $556,30. Although I never even saw a room. Never again with holiday inn. Thought this was the hospitality business? Not at this company.
