This is NOT holiday Inn
It did not meet my expectation on a Holiday Inn though the overall experience was not too bad. It started with an impatient phone call when I confirm my arrival time. Some of them are unwilling to explain anything even for a second time. But some agents are really nice. Compared to those hotels below $100, the room is definitely cleaner. However it is still a bit old. The air conditioner begin to make a very loud noise like electric drill 5am in the morning. The hair dryer has a smell of burned rust. And the room’s car key is very easy to degauss. If on the same budget for my next trip, I’ll probably NOT choose it again.

4/10 Fair

Noisy buzz sound outside front window
I paid extra to be in a larger room and there was loud noise outside the room during the evening. At first, we thought it was the heater but was able to eliminate that when we turn it off. I called the front desk told them about it, he said they he had no idea what the problem was. I asked if they could send someone up. After waiting about an hour, they sent someone up and he determined it was the light outside our window. Noise was very loud! The gentleman that came up to check it out said he would tell the front desk to move us to another room. Waiting & waiting for phone call from front desk to get back to me, no communication! I had to call after about 45 minutes, finally we were able to switch rooms at about 9:30-10:00 pm (in our pajamas) in the cold (Tahoe). Had to make several trips to carry skis, boots , luggage to new room on lower floor after I had to walk back to get new key. It was quite an inconvenience. When I asked the night front desk employee, how do we get compensation for the inconvenience, his answer was "Not Me" I think we deserve some kind of rebate / compensation. At least the difference between a standard room & the upgraded larger room. Also, Holiday Inn Express advertises a hot tub. This is the 2nd time in a row that hot tube wasn't unavailable. Thank you.

Good location, clean warm rooms, friendly staff
Excellent location, friendly staff and clean warm rooms. Breakfast is fine and there is sufficient parking. You see the odd bear from time to time. I'm guessing a bear pushed over the trash in the parking lot with the snow covering its tracks ......

The housekeeping was wonderful. Trying to get a hold of a manager to discuss a cancellation and rebooking dispute was worthless. no return calls or return emails. won['t stay there again.

Sold on the name holiday inn. Sorry i did
Check in was flawless. The room wasn't. Dirty jetta tub with no instruction on how to use. Fire place did not work. Tried calling front desk and found out phone was unplugged. Plugged the phone in and it would dial but couldn't hear anybody n out of nowhere a person sayin he was the handy man n that the front desk could hear me but i couldnt hear them. Had to leave the so called maintenance tech in our room and when we return we noticed that the fire place was still not working and no note from the maintenence tech was anywhere to be found. Also noticed $20 missing from night stand.

Pool and spa closed 😞
We chose this hotel because of the pool and spa and also breakfast. The pool and spa were closed for the season and I didn’t see that on the website. That being one of the reasons this particular place was our choice was disappointing!
