Holiday Inn Hotel and Resorts Chain

Pros: generally clean, convenient, and quiet
Cons: overpriced restaurants, especially given the food

I work in the oil business (or as it's called by some, the 'Awl Bidness'), and I travel. A lot. All of this means that I spend an inordinate amount of time in the North American oil capital; Houston, Texas. Now the Bayou City can be a fascinating town to...

Pros: Clean and modern
Cons: Atrium echos

On my last trip to Monterrey I stayed at the Holiday Inn Parque Fundidora. I've stayed at this place before, but it's been almost two years. It's still a very nice, comfortable, modern hotel with tons of amenities and a fairly convenient location....

Pros: Free Shampoo & Toothpaste! Read on...There's More!
Cons: Water pressure in the shower

I have vacationed in Biloxi, MS. several times during the adult years of my life. I always try to stay at Holiday Inn for the simple reason, it's a name I know and trust. I do not stay at the casino hotels. I am not a lucky person, and cannot afford to...

Pros: GREAT last-minute weekend rates
Cons: Web site prone to failures

Every now and then a deal comes along that's just too good to pass up...like the Holideals rates offerred by Holiday Inn.

As you can probably tell from my various travel reviews, I am -- without doubt -- the World's Cheapest...

Pros: Low rates, downtown location
Cons: Older hotel, inconvenient to tourist sites

Earlier this year, I spent a long weekend bumming around in New Orleans, taking advantage of some super fares that came up on Continental's COOL deals web site. We got super cheap airfare, a super cheap rental car, and super cheap rates at the Holiday...

Pros: Lovely views and friendly people
Cons: substandard food and expensive rates

Two years ago...I hope that this is not considered stale, I went to Honolulu, Hawaii.

Though my stay was a brief one (3 days), I still will always remember it. Arrival at the airport was memorable, greeted with leis...

Pros: Great pool for the kids.
Cons: Needs maintenance and better service

Some people said it felt like a mini vacation while others thought it was a disaster. I guess in retrospect the one thing you can say about our weeks stay at the Worcester Mass Holiday Inn was it was not dull. Please take note that I did not say it was...

Pros: Visually appealing, located one block off of highway
Cons: Poor room maintenance, arguementative desk clerks

In July, my fiance and I went to a wedding for a close friend in Naperville, IL. The Holiday Inn Select is where they were to have their wedding reception, so that is where we stayed. We were there for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

...

Pros: Large clean room, pool, tasty food
Cons: Staff below par, security, maid service, tad bit expensive

Overview

While doing some work for a company in NY I had to travel down to North Carolina a few times. On one of my trips I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Raleigh, North Carolina. This was my only visit to a Holiday Inn. I have struggled...

Pros: It keeps the kids busy!
Cons: Humidity

The memories I have of Holiday Inn are so personal. I can remember going there every year as a child. My parents would pack up the car and the 6 kids and we would drive for 30 minutes to Golden, Colorado.

When we arrived, we would...

Pros: A comfortable, family-friendly place for us to relax.
Cons: None...except that we had to check out and go home!

We just spent the weekend at the Holiday Inn in Itasca, Illinois. And it was fabulous! We didn't spend the entire weekend at the hotel...we had a the Chicago Showdown Hockey Tournament at The Edge Ice Arenas in Bensenville; but in between games, we...

Pros: Any old port in a storm.
Cons: Poor security, lousy night staff, looting from rooms

It may have been the unusual circumstances. A recent power outage in our area had forced us from our home in search of a warm safe place to sleep, preferably with running water. Our home is supplied water by an electric pump on a well, so with...

Pros: Clean, cheap rooms - within walking distance of downtown and a BART station
Cons: Dirty area

We have been taught to hear brand names and make assumptions based on that name. I hear, "McDonald's," and I think, "cheap, greasy and disgusting." I hear, "The Four Seasons," and I think, "grand and elegant." When I hear the name, "Holiday Inn," I...

Pros: Clean rooms, friendly staff, family atmosphere
Cons: Changing the door combination without notification

Last weekend, my son and I (Dad had to work) drove to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area for a family event. Because we had a number of people coming in from out of town, and because my asthma gets REALLY bad at my parent’s house (indoor cats and dog), we...

Pros: Does cater to business travelers.
Cons: Limited pricey menu.

Holiday Inn Select

Stamford, CT

My husband and I attended an investment seminar at this hotel last Saturday, and decided to stay over night, and leave the following Sunday.

This hotel, which is located...
