We had trouble at check in. The front desk [grant] was very un professional/not very helpful. And At the pool, my 12 yo daughter was bothered by a drunk/unwell person, called her dumb and also called my sister a child rapist for no reason. And when we reported it to the hotel attendant [Grant]he basically told us that we are lying and we should deal with it ourselves. So strange. My family travels a lot but we will not stay here at Holiday inn and express in Lancaster. OH.
