Review
for
Holiday
Inn
as
an
event
venue
Short
version:
Expect
the
staff
to
make
a
lot
of
mistakes
and
to
get
a
lot
of
things
wrong
on
the
day
of
the
activity.
Communication
is
their
weakest
point
and
that
translates
to
poor
service.
It
is
cheap,
but
that
inexpensive
quality
comes
at
the
cost
of
not
getting
what
you
wanted.
In
the
end,
I
don’t
think
a
good
price
is
worth
getting
sub-par
service.
I
am
writing
this
review
as
the
brother
in
law
of
a
bride
who
had
her
reception
at
the
Holiday
Inn
here.
I
originally
wrote
a
3
page
review
and
pasted
it
here
only
to
realize
that
Google
doesn’t
accept
reviews
that
long.
So
I’ll
be
more
brief:
Pros:
The
rooms
were
nice
looking
and
modern.
The
general
hotel
looked
good.
Cons:
The
original
person
we
had
to
help
organize
was
rude
and
insisted
that
we
not
contact
her
when
she
made
mistakes
in
planning
things.
Once
that
original
person
was
removed,
the
manager
was
more
helpful
but
that
still
led
to
a
lot
of
issues
with
communication:
not
being
clear,
being
overly
sympathetic
to
soothe
us
(good
cop),
etc.
There
were
numerous
mistakes
during
the
actual
event:
timings
were
off,
champagne
was
at
first
refused
then
delivered
late,
the
signature
drink
which
was
agreed
upon
ahead
of
time
was
not
prepared
and
they
didn’t
have
the
ingredients
for
it,
the
bartender
was
absent
for
a
large
portion
of
the
night,
flies
got
into
the
sweets
in
the
room,
the
wrong
meals
were
given
to
the
guests,
etc.
Conclusion:
Would
I
choose
Holiday
Inn
for
an
event
like
this
again?
Maybe.
Would
it
be
this
one?
No.
The
communication
issues
and
the
execution
was
so
fumbled
that
if
I
had
not
spent
the
entire
night
chasing
after
people
correcting
their
errors,
the
event
would
have
been
horrible.
That
being
said
I
can’t
say
that
other
Holiday
Inns
are
as
bad
at
this
as
they
were,
so
I
can’t
give
a
generalized
judgment
like
that.
I
can
say
this:
the
offers
they
are
now
giving
in
this
Holiday
Inn
are
considerably
worse
than
the
one
I
chose.
With
that
new
offer
and
the
service
they
give,
that
would
be
a
hard
pass.
