Holiday Inn Hotels in McKinney

First, the good points. Extremely nice people working here and the place was clean. It was quiet during our stay. There were some disappointing points as well. (1) When we arrived for a scheduled two night stay, the room airconditioner was set at 82 degrees. I understand saving electricity and set my own home thermostat higher when no one will be home, but we did arrive at our expected time and the thermostat should have been adjusted down. The room was too hot to stay in and took over an hour to cool to a tolerable 77 degrees.( Probably I should have just opened the room fridge and allow it to cool the room. After all, the pint of milk and water bottles I put in there were frozen solid the next morning.) (2) We were given two bath towels for three people for three nights. We expected more to be delivered the next day, but no housekeeping was done at all. No more towels, no coffee pods, no emptying of trash. When I asked, I was told there was no housekeeping on the weekends. Would have been nice to know that before we had booked. They did keep some more threadbare towels I was able to pick up myself at the front desk. (3) The bed linens were comfortable enough for the two queen beds, but very skimpy for the couch fold out bed. One pillow, a bottom sheet, no top sheet and a very thin cover. I was glad I had brought our granddaughter's favorite blanket. (4) As I said, no coffee pods were brought for the in room coffee for the second day. Agreed, this is never going to be a decent cup of coffee, but the caffeine helps you wake up. I was allowed to get myself coffee downstairs at the breakfast buffet area. We didnt eat at the breakfast buffet since it was $8.00 per person and I was already not impressed with the other offerings at the hotel. Hate to say this, but the buffet coffee was not too good either. I saw only one urn, so those who wanted decaf seemed to be out of luck. Splenda and sugar were offered along with a couple of kinds of coffee whitener. If you wanted half and half you were--once again--out of luck. There were several other irritations--broken this and missing that but it's not worth detailing every little thing. All in all, I was pretty disappointed in our stay at Holiday Inn & Suites McKinney-North Allen. A once great franchise has slipped considerably.
