My husband and I stayed here last Saturday on our way home from our St. Kitts honeymoon. We'd booked the hotel about a week before, after learning that USeless Airways had changed us to an overnight flight for our return without telling us. I'd booked a king but when we arrived, they checked us into a double, and said they were full (because of Hurricane Charley residents who lived along the coast were evacuated, and many went to Charlotte). I complained and said we'd booked in advance and it was the last night of our honeymoon, and they put us in a king. Shouldn't have had to worry about it.
The room was muggy, but we turned off the AC for a while and it settled down. I think they recently shampooned the burgundy carpets, because our socks got red on the bottom. Before we turned the AC back on, we heard the guy in the next room cough as if he was sitting on our bed, not his. We kept the fan on all night and didn't hear anything else.
We were exhausted from our trip and tried to order room service, only to find our menu was out-of-date. Ten minutes later we got the right one, then tried to order again, and were told it would be an hour because they were so busy! (About 200 USAir passengers missed connecting flights due to Customs delays) So we walked up to IHOP for a late dinner.
The Holiday Inn had a hopping nightclub where people dressed up but were kinda skanky (lamé dresses, bustiers!), and it's right next to two "gentlemen's" clubs. It's also huge and we had an insanely long walk with heavy luggage to our room, but the airport shuttle was nice.
In the end it was all fine but it's no better or worse than any other hotel, honestly. Nothing to write home about and not the place to go for a special night or anything.
