I had a difficult day of driving with many accidents, ambulances, police and fire trucks along the way. We arrived at the Holiday Inn Woodbridge just before 12:15am. Unfortunately, they had cancelled our reservation because we didn’t arrive before midnight. I asked the staff member if there was anything he could do for us and he said "No, unless you want to pay for another room". I explained our situation and he said to take it up with Expedia. I called Expedia and talked to an agent who offered to call the hotel. The hotel worker also told the Expedia agent that the only way to get a room would be to pay again. The Expedia agent said I would need to figure it out with the hotel and ended our call while i was attempting to ask him a question. I then called the Holiday Inn Customer service line. They told me that i would need to work it out with Expedia since that is where I booked. Interestingly, they called the hortel as well. He told them he tried calling us multiple times before cancelling the booking but we didn't answer. This was entirely dishonest. I had no missed calls. By this time it was past 1am and my daughter wasn't feeling well. I was so upset but I couldn't justify spending more of my money at this hotel so we drove down the road and checked in elsewhere. I registered a complaint with IHG customer service and they did respond with an apology and a refund a few days later.
The beds were horrible. My husband got cut on the medal pieces that are latched on to the best around the boxsprings.

The room was clean, no bag in trash cans. Staff was friendly. The pool area was a disappointer. The smell of chlorine was extremely strong to the point that it would burn your eyes after 5 minute of being in that area
Great place, staff very friendly. Higly recommended to a personal, family or business trip. Rooms are clean, breakfast included. Nice location close to the Route 9 and other places.
The sheets and shower still had hairs from previous customers. I understand that’s impossible to completely eliminate but it’s still unsanitary and disgusting to look at.

The room stunk like a dead animal and when I asked for a different room, they said that they did not have any available

This hotel is ok for a night but besides that i wouldn't recommend for longer stays. Housekeepers modtly speak spanish and cant understand english well so communication was terrible. They only have one elevator. The bed makes too much noise. Part of the bed kept scratching me when i got up.Could not play any apps like Netflix or hulu on tvs.
