And I didn't even have any service issues, I'm just talking about the quality of the hotel.
I stayed only once at a Indigo Hotel, which was Dallas Indigo.
I felt exactly the same.
The check-in in the evening was horrible (but check-out was nice)
The room (no upgrade despite rooms available) was very small, quite noisy (the door is too thin) and I hated the design (Ikea kindergarten)
The "view" was the wall 4 meters from the window
There was a terrible smell of paint in the room and the corridor (when I asked to change, the answer was: no!)
Yes, Indigo is just Holiday Inn with a (vulgar) lipstick
