Great hotel

This is a great hotel in a great location. Staff was very friendly which is always a big plus. The room was clean and in great condition. Bathroom was a nice size. We also enjoyed the pool and the hot tub.

Great place to stay!

Fantastic location, very clean rooms and property. The bed was comfy and the pool/hot tub area was great. Buffet breakfast had a variety of hot and cold food, as well as drinks. We will definitely stay here again! *Side note…we learned that Lakeside beach, (which is walking distance) is a gated, private beach that charges $30 per adult for a day pass. They were sold out that day so we had to bike a little farther to find a public beach.

It was a great place to stay very satisfied

It was a great place to stay very close to the gondola two person. Hot tub was just what we needed after a long day on the slopes.
Justin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Communication with staff was a bit of a mess and there was a lot of trash around the complex. They also left bags of dirty linens outside where guests had to walk by them. The room itself was clean and great.
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location of the hotel.
Ernesto, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not worth the money.

Pros: walkable to everything. Basic but decent continental breakfast included. Free parking. Beds are cozy enough. Cons: small, cramped and very outdated rooms. A lot of obvious neglect, both in the rooms and the property itself. Broken hair dryer in room. Broken hot tub. Holiday inn isn’t a bougie chain but it just dropped quite a few notches from this property.

I won’t say much, except that we are a repeat customer for many years. Perfect location with family and kids to hang out in evenings. Newly opened Target at walking distance is good. Just hoping they open up indoor pool and spa soon. Limited breakfast options, typical of most chain hotels nowadays.

I booked this hotel having stayed at alot of other Holiday inn expresses mostly for the pool and hot tub which were closed, other than that is was nothing more than a regular motel
Brian, 1-night trip

A great Holiday Inn with a nice breakfast layout! However, the prices were high, but that’s something the area suffers from on the weekends.
Kristen, 1-night trip

Front and support staff was great. Breakfast option was delicious. I would definitely come back and stay at the Holiday In Express again.

Richard, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible customer service! Guests beware!

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! Booked on line and paid in full thru hotels.com. When I gave my credit card for incidentals I was charged again full price for hotel when I checked out. I brought this to staffs attention who said this was "negative" charge. I was not! Working all week to get charges reversed. I have receipts for both charges. Keep getting run around from holiday inn... no manager available, I don't have code, I'll have to look into this..... excuse after excuse!!! No choice but to take this up further and report fraud to credit card company and report them to the Better Business Bureau. While hotels.com staff have tried to help, still no resolution after a week.
