“Consistently great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Several times we have stayed at the Holiday inn express in Medicine Hat. We have three children and have found the hotel to be very accommodating to us as a family.

Key points for us is the cleanliness of the entire facility, especially the rooms. Secondly the breakfast is enjoyable and a perfect setup for us. We have not always used the waterslide and pool, but the times we have it is a lot of fun (but a little cold)

Our last trip was December 17th and the staff was very accommodating with setup of two real cribs, provided by the hotel. This was a nice surprise as most hotels only have the "pack and play's".

For the area it’s probably on the higher end of $, but for consistently providing a nice stay we have not looked elsewhere.

“Perfect for "Just Passing Thru."”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

In keeping with their HI Express reputation, the property was perfect for an overnighter. Close to shopping, restaurants and Trans Canada Highway #1. Only thing that peeved us off was the pool was closed a wee bit early for my liking. One does like to have a hot tub after a day on the road.

Room Tip: All rooms are OK. Highway noise is minimal on the Highway side.

“Comfortable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

I stayed one night in the hotel. It follows the HI Express usual good standards except when I lifted the clock radio up it (and the table it was on) had quite a lot of sticky substance on it, plus the cord was frayed with the wire showing. Needless to say I unplugged it.

Room Tip: If you plug in the address to your GPS, you end up at a Days Inn about 2 blocks away.

“An good business hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I've not had a problem with any of the rooms that I've had over the past few years. Everything has been clean and functioning. The Holiday Inn Express breakfast is good with me. I find the staff friendly and helpful. The excerise room is basic and is what you would expect in a small hotel. I do agree that this location does charge much more than the other Holiday Inn Express hotels that I use in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“Disgusting Rooms!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My family and I checked onto one of your Junior Suites on the weekend (2 queen beds, 2 TV’s). When we entered our room there was tinsel on the floor and dust on the furniture leading us to wonder if the room had been cleaned. Upon further inspection we found hair on the pillows, a dried substance on the glass tray in the bathroom, but most disgusting of all a dried urine puddle in front of the toilet!!! The toilet paper was also not folded nicely like when you normally enter a cleaned room. We went do to the front desk and they moved us to a new suite, this one minus one TV, which my children were not impressed by. At least upon entering this room you could smell that the sheets were at least clean. Figuring this room looked decently clean enough my family and I went to the pool. Once back in our room I went to run a bath for my son only to find I had to clean the tub before I could use it! The bottom of the tub had dried mud/dirt puddles on it as well as the tub ledge. My husband had gone to the vending machine to get some pop and went to place it in the fridge only to notice there was dirt in there as well. Again I was thoroughly disgusted but by this time it was 10 pm and my kids were not in the mood for another room change! The next morning I awoke and went to make coffee only to find that filter basket had been slapped on top from the last use and there were dried spots of coffee and grounds on top! Seriously, when you’re paying $180+ a night for lodging you expect it to be clean!!!! I was even further disgusted and offended the next morning when I checked out and told the front desk about our room when they figured they had done us some great service by knocking a whopping $20 off my bill!!!! Seriously!!!! I shouldn’t have even paid half of what it was worth, I’ve seen cleaner rooms at much cheaper hotels!! Trust me when I say that I will never stay at your hotel again! Not only was it the grossest experience I have ever had but the most HEALTH concerning one!!!

The condition of the room(s) that you occupied certainly was not to our standard. The individuals have been dealt with that provided this poor level of cleanliness. We were able to respond to your concerns directly the following day. We hope you will try us again.
