“Price gouging for RAGBRAI”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

How disappointing. We are long-time riders of RAGBRAI and choose to stay in local motels along the way. We have NEVER encountered what was quoted to us at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites, Sheldon Iowa. I was quoted $249.95 for a standard room for the Saturday night before this year's RAGBRAI begins. I decided to compare room prices for the Saturday evening AFTER RAGBRAI. H'mmm....$109.00 for a standard room. The front desk informed me this was a "corporate" decision. We have stayed in other Holiday Inn Express motels during our years on RAGBRAI and never encountered this type of price gouging. RAGBRAI is a family friendly, tourism boost to the state of Iowa for an entire week each year during July. Too bad this new Holiday Inn Express has chosen not to support the tourism being brought into the state.

Room Tip: Book somewhere else.

“WOW! Nice stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed here while I was visiting friends. It was a great place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They made me feel right at home. They have a large great lap pool which was nice for our group. The rooms were big and beautiful. Comfy beds. The breakfast was great too. They even have a pancake machine. YUM! I would recommend it for anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Room Tip: Ask for a room near the door if you are a smoker

“The best in the country”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I've stayed in many of the hotels in this chain, and without a question, this is the nicest, cleanest, and friendliest I've ever stayed at. I truly didn't want to leave. The bedrooms are large and spacious with beautiful furnishings, including a bed that is extremely comfortable. My room had a microwave and a refrigerator, and the vending machines near the lobby are stocked with all sorts of microwaveable foods. The front desk staff is truly delightful to work with. They allowed me a late check-out, even though their housekeeping staff was finished and waiting on my room. If I'm ever within 100 miles of here again, there's no question that I'll be staying right back at this property. These people deserve some kind of special award!

“Nice quite stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

Needed to have a room near Hartley, IA and was happy we were able to find the Holiday Inn Express in Sheldon, clean and comfortable. Not very good with dinner recommendation!

Room Tip: Always ask for the top floor.

“Gracious and flexible”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2010

person found this review helpful

We stopped at this hotel after a harrowing ride during a blizzard in which we had to turn back from our destination. The manager was so gracious and accommodating to our frazzled nerves. The beds were fantastically comfortable. The hot breakfast was wonderful. I cannot say enough nice things about this hotel and its staff.
