Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Barrie by IHG

Large rooms, great parking, easy access and nearby restaurants.

I thought the breakfast was very well laid out the breakfast room was very clean and there was an employee wiping counters down and helping people and doing a fantastic job. That was some thing that I definitely noticed and for reasons like that, I will return to the Holiday Inn

I thought the room could’ve been a little bit cleaner, and the coffee maker should’ve been functional and the Kleenex container should’ve had a box of Kleenex in it And during winter months, I would put a floor mat in whichever rooms are being occupied so we could put our snowy wet boots onto a mat rather than a nice clean white floor that we walked into

Great location inside of town but quiet room and nice and clean

Quiet, comfortble bed,selection of pillows in room and good tv/wifi.

Only issue was that our room was not made up after first night.

Overall a good stay. Very quiet and clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Good area for access to food and entertainment. Breakfast is perfect. Front lobby’s ceiling is in great need of repair from water damage. Mattress was comfortable but could use replacing.

Everything was good. No issue's at all.

The location was great. Reception on arrival was not friendly and was rushed. It was not a great first impression. The pool area was small and there was not jacuzzi hot tub or sauna. This would have made it top notch. TVs need upgrading. There was only cable tv with few channels, no streaming, no Google Chromecast or screen sharing or options to purchase movies or sign into streaming apps. Basic washroom with no little luxurious like make-up remover wipes, q-tips, koosh or mouth wash. The toilet paper was too thin and not nice at all. Herbal tea options would have been nice instead of only orange pekoe. Porcelain mugs instead of throw away cups adds a more environmentally conscious touch. Even with only four floors the elevator was very slow. Breakfast could have used more options that were not meat related. Yogurt, granola and fruit, or steel cut oats with honey and cinnamon. Just a few ideas.

I was put in a room next to a kids hockey team. If other rooms are available I should have been upgraded if that is what it took to keep me away from hockey in the hall ways!!
