We stayed in Concord HI-express We stayed in Concord, NC. We booked through an online booking agent. We did not know that there was any construction going on during our stay. I had to work online, this was an issue. When I spoke to the manager she was very flippant and said I could check out and book else where. No empathy what so ever. I would have thought she could have given me another place to work where it would be quieter and private. The breakfast was like going to your local school cafeteria. The food was not such that if you needed to not eat non dairy that it left you very little options. Making just plain eggs with an option of cheese and veggies, heating the food to a higher temperature, and replacing the old style coffee makers with the style that you can brew your own cup and add your own flavoring would be nicer. We went to breakfast and came back to our room to find in that short time period there were bugs on our beds, they were quick to have us switch our room. But there was NO monetary relief for our inconvenience. I would have thought either a refund or a certificate for future stays would have been nice. I am not sure where the bugs came from but it may have been due to the hole in the outside wall in the room. The toilet ran on its own and the fan in the bathroom was extremely loud as was the a/c unit. This made it hard to talk or sleep in the room(s). The young girl that worked the evening shift was very nice and did what she could do to help us, which was limited because the manager was not accommodating what so ever. I have booked before with HI-express and never had this lousy of an experience.

Good breakfast Had a good welcome from Karen. The breakfasts at this hotel are consistently good.

Wedding rip off… This company is only getting one star because I can't give. Booked wedding reception and gave guests code for "discounted" room so they could stay over and also have a friendlycatch up the next day as we would be busy on the night. Can't think why the prices are over £200,with the exception of the week before most are less than £100. Have now given details of another hotel that is only a 5 minute taxi ride away that beats their price by over £100. If you want to have a good wedding and enjoy time with loved ones I would give this place a wide berth I have about 15 guests that are currently changing plans and staying elsewhere. Feel like this company are sabotaging our wedding with their actions

AVOID! DO NOT STAY HERE AS YOU WILL NOT SLEEP If you expect to sleep don’t stay here! The staff are amazing however the management simply don’t care! Was here for medical tourism - kept awake all night with noise of traffic, wild dogs barking, elevator machinery, doors banging, large noisy tour groups, paper thin walls so you can hear other guests. We have recordings from every night of our stay from inside the room with window and balcony door closed! Raised with staff who offered 2 alternative rooms on lower floors nearer the noise! Offered upgrade to top floor for €150 per night which we of course declined! Noise was unbearable on night 7/14 that staff issued ear plugs!!! Told by IHG Customer Care that the General Manager would contact us within 48 hours - still waitiing! Have requested a refund for the nights we haven’t used and been told No as they offered room on a higher floor - no they didn’t! Also they stated that they had already given us a sea view room on the 9th floor when we booked a city view room like we should be thankful! Maybe the room we booked would have been quieter? We have now moved to another hotel at an additional cost - Do they think we would have done this if they had actually made a suitable alternative? Also they dispute when we complained - regardless of when we complained we paid for a hotel and expect to be able to sleep - pretty basic!!!

Hang your heads in shame As a present to my son I arranged a trip to Munich to watch Bayern play. Having bought tickets for the game, flights and accommodation in a suite at the holiday inn unfortunately the flights from Manchester were cancelled. Game tickets were refunded, flights refunded however the holiday inn took a payment in full although I cancelled 5 days prior to arriving. After going round the houses with IHG and receiving no callbacks as promised I was told I had booked an advanced rate. I use hotels all the time UK and abroad for business this was not shown on the option. Decision was final with no offer of credit or alternative nights. Holiday inn for a chain your size you should be ashamed. Thanking me for being an IHG member on every call however this is just words with no thoughts to your members. Never will I be using you again and will be posting across my social media.
