I will never again stay at an IHG or AVID Hotel. Ever. The place LOOKS nice. But looks are deceiving. I was told I booked a 2 queen bed room. They weren't even close to queen size. Definitely FULL SIZE, not queen. They're not comfortable either. Then the floors and ceilings are paper thin and we couldn't sleep for the people walking around upstairs all night. The rooms are tiny. I highly suggest staying somewhere else that doesn't have an IHG logo on the front.
