Nice staff, good parking, comfy clean rooms. Never been let down and we stay
here a lot. Ricky's restaurant right next door for great breakfasts. Very
convenient hotel location right across from McDonalds and the huge movie
theatre, great shops, and restaurants.

I'm not the type to write a review on a suburban chain hotel but this one merits
that distinction. This is a new hotel in a fairly new area and they had a lot
more amenities than I'm used to from a typical HIE. The room was slightly above
average, with nice bathroom shelving and complimentary robes/slippers. I liked
the breakfast area being segregated from the lobby a bit, makes you feel a bit
more at home. I must say the breakfast left much to be desired which is probably
the only issue I saw.
Okay, back to the amenities. Their lower level had entire locker rooms, with a
large pool, hot tub, sauna, and even a steam room! They also had Priority Club
parking near the door which was a nice touch. I think it's these types of things
that I consider special, which gets the "Excellent" rating from me!

You kind of know what to expect from a Holiday Inn. Very consistent service,
price and room comfort. We stayed there with a group of our kids in a hockey
tournament and were overall pleased over than the fact that they ran out of food
for our breakfast. They probably should have known how many people would be
staying there and probably should have ordered enough food. Room was clean.
Service was OK. Person at the front desk was a little "uppity" at times. Kids
enjoyed the pool.

Stay here all the time. Major beef with IHG hotel group has been lack of
wireless Internet ( a hard connection is useless for pda's and iPad's)
They have upgraded which is great and reception is good although bandwidth is
slow slow slow.
Hotel is clean and near a variety of restaurants.
Check in was done by a very polite young man and he welcomed me as a priority
club member, gave me a bag of goodies, told me that he had selected the room so
I would have good wifi reception.
Downside:
The bag of goodies contained a note asking me to vote for them and score them as
exceptional since nothing less is a fail. Talk about strong arm tactics!
I get to the room and yes it has great reception but is immediately next to the
vending machines and ice room. The noise from the ice machine was so loud I
thought they were doing laundry in there. Went back down to reception, luggage
and all and after much deliberation was given a room so I would not have to deal
with the noise of the machines. Only thing was I was now on the back of the
building which backs on to Highway 1. Truck engines, night long traffic etc. I
stayed in the room since I could not be bothered to change again.
The winning stroke was when I woke again at five a.m. And my bill was under the
door - great - except for another request that I should complete before checking
out looking for an excellent score!
Why not just tie me up in the basement to make sure I say what you want me to
say H Inn?!
I did not complete the thing and left without saying a word about it or
commenting that the new seating area for the included breakfast is now
disjointed and hard to move around with the new layout.
The rooms are spotless and location is near the highway ramps.

Spent 3 nights at this hotel in October.
Room was comfortable, tv was fine. wireless worked well night 1 - night 2 there
was an issue, and I was a bit disconcerted that I had to phone a tech myself to
get it sorted - but at least it was resolved after about 20 minutes down time.
Breakfast was fine, except that most mornings I had to be up and on the road
before the restaurant opened. Thank good for the driver through Starbucks round
the corner that opened at 5.am! I would happily stay again - but warning - avoid
the restaurant next door - there are many very close by, and it was dire -
'generic' pop portrayed as 'coke' "that's funny, lots of other people have said
that" - unable to make a latte because "i tried that once for a customer and got
into trouble"

I arrived at 10pm on a Saturday night and they had a free Globe & Mail for me.
That surprise is in addition to clean, spacious, modern rooms and a great free
breakfast in the morning. Fantastic value.
They have figured me out completely.

The reception staff very very nice and personable. The room was spotless, and
the complimentary breakfast was really good. I would definitely stay there
again.

Fantastic hotel. Very clean and great service. When you arrive as a priority
club member you get a bag with a cold water, granola bar and chips! Have never
had this at any other Holiday Inns before!
If you are staying for a while, or a night, this is a great hotel. |
