Exceptional service provided by Mac at the front desk
Pros:

I have stayed here for many many years. And atleast 2 to 3 times a year. I have always been very happy with the service, the rooms in the location. But my visit this time from May 29 through June 5 I dealt with Mac at the front desk. I have to say he was excellent with his helpfulness, knowledge, and friendliness. I had to call the day before I came with Questions. He answered all my questions for me, I did not act like I was a bother or interruption, but he was doing at the time. When I came to check in today. He again went above and beyond to help me with my room and any additional questions I had. I worked for an insurance company for 20+ years, and Customer Service nowadays it’s not like it was 20 years ago. People are not kind or polite or helpful. Mac was all of those things so I really appreciate his knowledge and help he gave me to make my check in process go smoothly and easy.

So so hotel became amazing with one staff's service
Pros:

Rooms were clean, but very rude staff and inconvenient location. However we had su h lovely time with Mac at front desk, the stars here are just for him. I can only give 4 as other hotel service was far from perfect. Someone needs to ensure to keep Mac there for good comments

Pleasant and clean with a great breakfast and freshly ground coffee
Pros:

Rooms were clean and fresh. The breakfast was excellent. Cheese and ham omelette was very good. Large coffee machine freshly grinds and then brews your cup of coffee at the push of a button.

Cons:

The owners are a bit scary. He was rude to me upon my arrival and getting my reservation sorted out as I added an extra day (and they couldn’t find it as I had booked on booking.com) and then she was also rude to other customers on the phone. It’s definitely a staging hotel for the cruise port and they are very busy but the owners need some customer service training.

Mac at the front desk went out of his way to help with his excellent customer service. He provided us water, keep our bags stored until room was available ( we arrived early from cruise , and gave us information on what to do while we waited. He promptly called to tell us when the room was ready.
Every employee needs to be like

Excellent staff- extremely clean
Pros:

Work has me on the road 3/4 weeks per month, and I always stay IHG. This was the cleanest holiday inn I have stayed in. Mac at the front desk was exceptional. He upgraded me to a suite, gave me dinner recommendations, was extremely friendly and helpful, and even set aside laundry detergent and softener for me for when I got back from dinner. He even cut my airline tags from my bag for me. Way above and beyond. Great service, great stay, and very convenient to FLL.
