Holiday Inn Most excellent

Conveniently located, superbly priced and wonderfully staffed. Full breakfast, and full dinner. Did I mention free beer on tap? Save your company money and personal aggravation of driving in Northern Va. Absolutely wonderfully staffed, pleasant, well appointed, and scores very high on Trip Advisor for a reason(s). Did I mention free beer?

Holiday Inn Excellence at it's best! Holiday Inn Yorkdale

I have had the opportunity to deal with this hotel for the planning of a 4 day conference and I cannot say enough. Kristen Ip has showed so much professionalism and dedication. She gets back to me right away and has made me feel that she has gone over and above to assist in the planning of this event. My team has had the opportunity to have one of our weekend meetings at this hotel and the welcome, the service, the food, the comfortable beds were outstanding. Thank-you Kristen and the team at Holiday Inn Toronto Yorkdale! I'm looking forward to our conference in the fall!

Holiday Inn Holiday Inn discriminates against kids or blacks

My son goes to college in Florida and twice he has had problems at Holiday Inn during a hurricane. The first time was 2018 when I booked him a room for a hurricane and after a couple of nights, the day the hurricane was hitting the area, he was told he needed to check out. It wasn't because the room was booked it was just because Holiday inn said so. When I called corporate they said the hotel had plenty of rooms so my son misunderstood. Thank God I was able to get him out of the area.
Then, since I am stupid I made the mistake this year and booked him a room at another Holiday in Orlando. I paid extra so the reservation could be changed as the hurricane path changed. He went to check-in and was told he can not because he is 20 years old. I spoke on the phone to the person at the desk who said I should have asked the reservation line person if it's against the rules for his stay due to his age. I let the person at the desk know that I told the reservation person that he is a kid in school and running from the hurricane. She said good luck but not in this hotel and to top it off she let me know the hotel will charge me for the reservation. As I was booking him another hotel he called and let me know they let him check in because a good samaritan checked in for him but he had to pay cash for the room (luckily I had $500 in the account the room). So someone else's name was on the room but my cash was good enough (of course it had to come from the hotel ATM for a $10 surcharge) for him to stay in the room.
That makes twice I screwed up and the last time I ever use a Holiday Inn.

Greetings. I have an issue with Holiday Inn and I’m hoping someone can help me. On Thursday, February 29, 2024 my family was traveling through Decatur, Texas. We stopped at Holiday Inn Express and Suites @ 1051 N Highway 287. We rented 2 rooms for the evening. On our way to the elevator, we saw a professional washer and dryer for clothes in the hallway...

Holiday Inn Cleaning products

I recently checked into a Holiday Inn Express, and was very disappointed when I walked in the room and it totally REEKED of highly scented chemical cleaning products.

Many many people, myself included, are extremely sensitive/allergic to the chemicals used to scent the cleaning products. There are much better options for cleaning products and they are just as effective at cleaning.

I understand that many people equate fragrance with “freshness”, but the chemicals used to create these fragrances are highly toxic.

I hope you will look into this and remedy this very serious problem.

Thank you,

Sincerely, G.

Desired outcome: Use better, unscented, cleaning products

Is Holiday Inn legit?

Our verdict: Complaints Board's thorough examination reveals Holiday Inn as a legitimate entity with notable strengths. Despite a 15% resolution rate on customer complaints, which invites a closer look, Holiday Inn stands out for its commitment to quality and security. Clients considering Holiday Inn should delve into its customer service record to gauge compatibility with their expectations.

Holiday Inn earns 91% level of Trustworthiness

Perfect Trust Endorsement: Holiday Inn achives 91% ligitmacy per Complaints Board. Highly recommended, yet always stay vigilant.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Holiday Inn. The company provides a physical address, 3 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 5 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Holiday Inn has received 2 positive reviews on our site. This is a good sign and indicates a safe and reliable experience for customers who choose to work with the company.

The age of Holiday Inn's domain suggests that they have had sufficient time to establish a reputation as a reliable source of information and services. This can provide reassurance to potential customers seeking quality products or services.

Ihg.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

We looked up Holiday Inn and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Holiday Inn has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 15% of 279 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • There was some difficulty in evaluating or examining the information or data present on the ihg.com. This could be due to technical issues, limited access, or website may be temporarily down for maintenance or experiencing technical difficulties.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Holiday Inn. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Holiday Inn Bill

My husband and I got approval to buy a car at 7:00 p.m. on 2-10-2024. We live in Eden, Georgia, so it was a bit over a six-hour drive. We arrived at the Holiday Inn Express at approximately 1:20 a.m. on 2-11-2024.

As I was checking us out on 2-11-2024 at 10:00 a.m., the receptionist told me "Shame you didn't check in on Sunday, it would've been half price because it's a slow day". I told her we did check in on Sunday after 1:00 a.m., she said, "Oh, I meant around 7:00 in the morning.

We were charged $279.00 plus taxes = 315.27. I've stayed in some nice hotels, but this was the most expensive, over 300$ a night.

My point being if we arrived on Sunday and left on Sunday then shouldn't we have been charged half price?

Upon checking my receipt, we were checked in on 2-10-24, we were not even there until 2-11-24.

The confirmation # is [protected] and folio # 108546.

Claimed loss: $150.00

Desired outcome: $150.00

Holiday Inn False advertisement and very disappointing and unsafe stay for this price.

The accommodations at this hotel were extremely disappointing, with the smallest room I've ever encountered. The bathroom door was so cramped that it wouldn't even open properly, and the toilet was inconveniently positioned, making it difficult to navigate. Our attempts to take a shower were thwarted by the appalling state of the facilities, which were in dire need of cleanliness.

It was disheartening to realize that for the same cost. The staff was exceptional friendliness.

Claimed loss: This was absolutely the worse Holiday Inn I've ever stayed at.

Desired outcome: Not only did I pay $463.76 before arriving. I had to pay an additional $95 upon check in. Regrettably, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone, as there are undoubtedly better options available in the vicinity.

On 5 October 2023, I mistakenly made a booking for Holiday inn Rochester New York, instead of Holiday Inn Rochester Kent UK. I phoned IHG worldwide reservations office and they told me that the reservation had been cancelled, but I had to phone priceline. When I phoned Priceline, I had to give my reservation number which they said they had no record of. I could not speak to a person, this was all automated. Every time I phone them the same thing happens. I have now received my credit card statement and find that I have been charged. Please help

Holiday Inn Employee complaint

All of the front desk clerk, front desk manger, and hotel manager are friends and constantly gossip about housekeepers with the breakfast attendants. It is very uncomfortable work environment. Constant lying and gossiping my management. They share personal information of guests and employees, shared my medical document with other employee. Hotel manager makes everything difficult for me but easy for others. Steals tips and belittles everyone that's not in their group. We are adults and they do not act as such. It's ridiculous and unprofessional. Fort Payne Alabama Holiday Inn is express. There is much more ridiculous things happening to but I'm so tired of the harassment.

Desired outcome: Front desk and management be held responsible and terminated.

Holiday Inn Elevator service out since May

It started in May we stayed for 2 days at the Holiday Inn at 21 Schuyler Blvd in Fishkill New York the problem was that the Elevator would not work for about 10-15 minuets which we accepted But we liked the hotel and the service people where great We needed an overnight stay on Sunday Sept 3rd so we made reservations again at the same hotel only to find that the elevator was now not working at all. We were booked on the 4th floor my partner is 80 years old and has trouble walking up the stairs The person at the desk was able to change it to a room on the second floor but he still had trouble walking up the stairs why is it taking so long to fix an elevator I feel that nobody cares I don't know if I will go back to that hotel when I will need a room even though I really liked the hotel.

There are a lot of other hotels in the area.
