Pros- the room I had was a king bed room, clean, bathroom was spacious and clean. Staff is average.

But that is where it stops.

Location is not convenient as it was hard to turn into the first couple of tries. Also it is away from everything- mall, arenas, college all places I had to be for seminars.

Could not access the Wi-Fi good thing for IPhones, mine was able to pick up another signal.

Continental breakfast....was horrible! Dirty tables, out of milk, muffins, pancake machine out. I went to the desk and let her know. I went to my room and returned 10 mins later. Nothing changed. Someone had made pancakes and the belt had stopped. The server asked if those were anybody's and suggested I take them as they were just made. I don't think so. One of them had been there about 3mins.

I know that they had hockey teams inhouse, they should have had a 2nd server or stayed up on the breakfast.

This was a turn off for me. I decided to head for Smittys. Which was much better.

But I should not have had to go out for breakfast at all especially paying an average of $149. And $179 per night!

So, needless to say, will not return

This Holiday Inn is as pleasant as all the others I've stayed at. I stay here for work every 3 months or so and I've never had any complaints. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The beds are comfy and they have everything I need. The only negative would be that they don't have a restaurant in the hotel, but there's a couple just a short walk away so I wouldn't let that deter anyone from staying here. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Hotel is newer, very clean. The rooms are nicely appointed with flatscreen tv's. Staff was friendly and front desk even left pool open for an hour extra as several people were still enjoying the facility. Included breakfast was far above average. Convenient location with many restaurants nearby. Will try here first when in town again.

Everytime I travel to Grande Prairie on work, I stay at this hotel. It is a very short drive to the downtown core, close to the exiting highway to drive back south and close to some really dynamic shopping and restaurants.

The City of Grande Prairie, in my mind, is a city of good service and unique flavor. The hotel is the epitome of good service. I have never stayed there and not had access to the same room, a good warm breakfast and such attentive front desk staff.

It is clean, quiet, comfortable and has all the amenities of the larger scale hotel. There is an excercise room, hot continental breakfast area with a free Edmonton Journal, close access to Mike's (a reasonably priced eatery with unique, hearty and delicious selections), free wi-fi or plug in computer access, and free parking with plug ins for winter travel.

I would recommend making reservations because there are a lot of regulars who use this hotel and although I have never had an issue with getting a room at the last minute, the folks who work in oil and gas or forestry are often there and can take up a lot of the rooms.

Make sure that when you have booked this hotel you have booked the Holiday Inn Express, not just the Holiday Inn. There are often travellers finding that they are in the wrong hotel because they booked at one and not the other hotel. Just be aware. The front desk staff have the other hotel on speed dial, just in case such a mistake is made.

Highly recommend this hotel.
