Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently: "Basic"
Overall score3.0/ 5
I was told there was a shuttle to the airport, but there is not a shuttle. Then the breakfast that was promised is not longer served. Rooms are clean but a little tired.

"Bad"
Overall score1.0/ 5
Holiday Inn Grand Blanc Gateway 1st Room Assigned: Was raining outside….. Window on the inside was leaking very badly 2nd Room Assigned: Window sills had dead bugs in the corners. 3rd Room Assigned: Wondered why the clock on the bed stand did not work. Looked behind the night stand and found a large amount of dog food (who knows how long it had been there). One of the beds had not been supported correctly… could have cut my legs getting in.. I think this says it all…. we will not be back….

Overall score3.0/ 5
The hotel was average. It's under construction so the items lying around were understandable. My only real issue was the construction going on in the room next to me all afternoon. I was working nights and came in to sleep around 3:30pm and there were power tools in the room next to me the entire time.

Instructor giving the class for the week called in sick I needed to rebook my room for the following week and they wouldn't reimburse me my money for the week that he was off sick. So I will book my rooms someplace else I asked for a reimbursement I was told no I apologize for the short notice but I cannot prevent somebody from being sick you guys have a wonderful day.

Overall score2.0/ 5
Hotel is a nice modern looking building. However, your rooms need a extreme amount of work. I had to change rooms because the first room I was given smelled like dirty feet. Carpets in both rooms were filthy and smelled. No refrigerator, no microwave and no safe in the rooms. Carpets in the hallways are also in bad shape, tile looks dirty and in bad shape. If I cannot confirm the rooms have been redone and upgraded, I will never stay there again. The pictures on the website do not match the room in true life. I am an IHG member and would not be able to recommend this hotel to anyone. I cannot find anything nice to say other than my first sentence of this review. Please fix this hotel. Needs a lot of work.

We enjoyed our stay. The only problem was that we couldn't seem to pick up many channels when viewing television. I also failed to have my IHG Rewards points added. The rooms were in my mother's name, but can I still get rewards points? She's not a member. Please advise. Thank you.

Overall score4.0/ 5
This is an older Holiday Inn which is fine except it needs more power outlets. I had to unplug one thing to plug in another. Older hotels often invest in power bars on the desks in the room to eliminate this issue.

Overall score2.0/ 5
I was placed in a room with a radiator style wall heating unit. I stayed too nights and it was terrible. Very difficult to adjust the heating unit either too hot or too cold and the system was noisy with blowing out either very hot or very cold air. I did not get much sleep at all up and down all night trying to fix the problem. I did not mention this to guest services as Katy had a very rude tone of voice when I asked her about logging in to their WiFi network upon our first day of arrival. The radiator style heating unit was my biggest problem, I haven't seen anything like that since 1988 horrible experience.
