Well, my review unfortunately will be short but hopefully serves as a stern warning to all others considering this hotel to avoid if possible. They are unable to honor confirmed room reservations. Last evening, I had a confirmed reservation for the Holiday Inn Express in Crestwood, for a flight the next morning out of Midway, which was booked directly through the hotel. Upon time of arrival that evening (~9:00 PM), no one was at the front desk and it took approximately ~10 minutes for a receptionist to show up for check in. At that time, I was informed that they would need to "check if a room was available" despite the aforementioned reservation. After waiting in the lobby for approximately 30 minutes, I was informed that my confirmed room was actually no longer available, and that my reservation would be cancelled. There was no offer to arrange alternative stays at a sister property, no offer to put me up in another hotel in the area, was literally told "really sorry for the inconvenience" and "good luck". I was subject to walk out , call an Uber, and try to find an alternative arrangement late at night which may have availability. However, the hotel was so kind enough to leave two follow up voicemails that night from the hotel, at 11:30 and 11:40 that evening, re-informing me that my room was indeed cancelled due to an overbooking, another "sorry for the inconvenience" and nothing else. No explanation was provided, or has been provided since this experience last evening. I cannot recommend stronger to avoid this hotel at all costs.
