A scam with no accountability
Pros:

Not really much

Cons:

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this Holiday Inn, and I would strongly advise others to be cautious to their scams.

Firstly, the room I received was not what I paid for. The images shown at the time of booking were significantly different from the actual room (photos attached), which is outright misleading.

As a result, I requested a refund or at least a partial refund. I contacted Bookingcom, who confirmed that any refund would require approval from the hotel manager. Following their advice, I spoke directly with the manager (Beth) when she came in.

Initially, the manager denied my request. But after I explained the discrepancy between the advertised room and what I received, she stated that she had approved the refund and advised me to wait for confirmation from Bookingcom.

However, when I contacted Bookingcom immediately afterwards, they informed me that the refund request had actually been declined. This directly contradicted what I had been told.

When I raised this with the manager, I was given inconsistent explanations, including claims that she did not have the authority to approve refunds, which contradicts what Bookingcom had clearly stated. I was repeatedly given conflicting information, with responsibility being shifted rather than addressed. The manager tried claiming that bookingcom is in charge of accepting refund requests, which is a completely illogical lie, as this is clearly something to be controlled by hotel management.

After further back-and-forth, Bookingcom confirmed that the refund had once again been declined (further confirming the hotel's authority to approve or decline refunds), and the only “resolution” offered was a complimentary upgrade on a future stay, which was not appropriate given the situation - as all they've done so far is scam me for a room and lie to my face rather than doing what's right.
