Skip IHOP while in the road, no accountability
I was traveling and had a bad experience at IHOP (was not seated in an empty restaurant, and after 1/2 hours left since the manager was too busy doing takeout to seat customers). After complaining, and having IHOP corporate involved, I got a coupon code for a free meal (after I returned to my home about 1000 miles away). After returning I went to my local IHOP and tried to use the coupon. They did not accept it an said it was only good at the other restaurant (1000 miles away). Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on IHOP. My advice to the world, skip IHOP and go to Denny's or Cracker Barrel while traveling.
