We've stayed here often over the past couple of years and were always pleased with the consistency of the hotel and the value for price. When we pulled in the parking lot was pretty empty, which was surprising, and the sign announced it was now a Comfort Inn (I booked it in May as a Holiday Inn Express through their... more

Stayed there with my wife while on business in the area. As a Priority Club member, we stay at Holiday Inn Express hotels quite often since the standards are consistent and they provide good value. I thought that I had really hit the jackpot when I booked a room at the AAA rate of $ 71.96. What a disappointment! It... more

I have stayed at this hotel for years and have never had a problem besides it was aging and the hotel itself was beginning to show debilitation. The grounds have gone down the toilet in the last year, the pool area was redone however, looks worse now than it did 2 years ago, the beds are not comfortable. Since I... more

Just to be fair, I stated in what was considered the "off" season. When I check in the man at the front dsk asked if I would like a room upstairs or down and luckly I thought to ask if there was an elevator.....there was not. When I drove into Houghton Lake that night it had been snowing and the... more

September, 2008. When we pulled in the parking lot was empty--that should have been a clue! Although the rooms were adequate and the desk clerk friendly, the next morning there was the most pathetic excuse for breakfast that I have ever seen at a Holiday Inn Express. No fruit, No Cinnamon Rolls, No breakfast sausage! Only a few stale pieces... more

I was a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but the location of this hotel was ideal for me, so I booked it anyway. Glad I did. I had a very positive expereince and got exactly what I expected from a HI Express- clean and comfortable and a good value. Not that every hotel shouldn't strive for superior... more

This hotel was a great value for the money for our stay the last weekend in September. There were few other guests staying there so we had the pool area mostly to ourselves which helped to make it a very relaxing weekend. I can understand that If you want to stay in a top-notch hotel this isn't it but if... more

I could not say we were happy about the stay. The carpet was stained and the bath room was not very clean. We felt they were under-staffed. One old lady was serving in the breakfest room. There were only one coffee container, no hot water for tea, no eggs, no oatmeal, no yogurt which are common items you see from... more

We stayed at the Houghton Lake Holiday Inn Express on the weekend of the Bud Bash. Everything in town was booked and this was not our first choice. The people on the desk were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. There was a nice comforter on the bed and 2 pillows (1 soft and 1 firm).... more
