Holiday Inn Express & Suites Richmond

Let me preface with this first and foremost. I'm Deaf, meaning I'm disabled in ears, not physically disabled. Ok, now that is out of the way. Last month, i was checking on travelocity, for the hotel that is close to the college nearby. One of the two hotels was much nearest. I decided to pick this hotel, and I also went with a suite, because they had a kitchenette included, which is what I was looking forward to cook and make some food for my collogues. Do *Note* this, i went with a suite that doesn't have a wheelchair access to it, because i would rather leave the suite with wheelchair access to others. paid it in advance. Fast forward to just few days ago. Arrived at hotel, gave my name, gave my ID / card. They gave me a room key, which is located on third floor. Went there... only to discover that they gave me a suite with *Wheelchair access*. The *only* wheelchair-access suite on floor. I became very self-conscious about this. Let me make it clear; they did stellar job with wheelchair access in the suite. It was amazing, and i'm proud of that, i would give it 5 out of 5 stars for this. However i am giving it 2-3 stars because of **No Kitchenette**. I was extremely disheartened by this. I brought a lot of ingredients to waste for this. They even had a broken desk. On the last day of checking out, i didn't have a cooler. So i rushed out, to get one and then come back to find out they threw half of my food out without warning. It was upsetting.

Run down dirty property. Went to Home 2 a block away after checking into this bad Holiday in. We will pursue a refund.

Enjoyed our stay here. The beds were super comfortable, breakfast was delicious and the staff was very welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.
