We recently were in Saginaw for a long weekend of family activities. The holiday in express is a little bit older and probably could use a little bit of updating. The rooms are big and very very clean it’s centrally located the morning breakfast was hot and plentiful. And of course the cost was right where it should be for the area in the hotel. All in all a very good value

Ok, first off the Title....We stayed at this Holiday Inn for a funeral and stayed a total of 4 nights. The actual motel overall was nice and well equipped. HOWEVER!!!!, we stayed poolside and were so excited to jump in hot tub and pool....much to our surprise, the hot tub was AWEFUL! I really considered buying some bullion, noodles, carrots and chicken to make soup it was soooo HOT!
Ive stayed at several resorts, motels and such and have never come across a hot tub that actually burned you as you sat in it. When we asked front desk if they could lower it just a tad (along with several other guests) we were told nobody had a key for it. Much to our dismay they really didnt care too much about it. Normally the hot tub seems to be in the higher 90's to 110 max. I actually recorded it at 139 degrees via a thermometer I bought at store.Now Im not a pool guy, but 139 is way too hot!
Anyways, housekeeping staff, front desk and other employees were very friendly and helpful, except with hot tub, and I would stay here again, hopefully for different circumstances and hopefully a normal hot tub
Good Morning, I am sorry to hear that you were not here for a more enjoyable occasion and we send our condolences to you and your family.
Apologies that the hot tub was not a comfortable temperature for you over the course of your stay. We certainly do monitor the pool area and water conditions on a daily basis and have not heard of any malfunctions. We do keep the hot tub normally around 100 degrees but will make sure our engineering department is aware of your concerns.
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the rest of your stay with our staff and we certainly do hope to see you again in the future!
We stayed here because it was far more affordable than Frankenmuth, but still conveniently located. I’m so glad we did. It was a nice escape from the tourist crazy area. It was nice and clean, with ample well-lit parking. They were also nice enough to assign us a pool-facing room, which was great, and I can imagine would be super awesome for a family with kids. If we were in the area we’d stay again.
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you again in the future for your Saginaw travel needs!
Friend and I just spent holiday weekend. We wanted someplace to scrapbook. Booked a suite and had loads of room. We set up 2 six foot tables. It was great. Nice to go down to pool/hot tub to get the kinks out. All the employees here are very nice and always willing to do what it takes to make your stay wonderful. It was quiet. The breakfast was bountiful. The beds and pillows are super nice. My friend said best sleep she’s ever had at a hotel.
Thank you so much for sharing how great your weekend was at our hotel. We certainly hope to be your host hotel the next time that you have travel needs in Saginaw!
Spire Ambassador member. Hotel was clean, convenient to restaurants, and the Highway along with Saginaw Valley State. Would not stay for more than a day or two though. Front desk was fast and friendly. The hotel is a little tough to find as it is pushed off the road and entered by a service road. Very easy to miss. There's a Tony's restaurant close by for breakfast/dinner and a couple other sit down restaurants. Room was large but in need of renovation. Beds were very hard by my standards and uncomfortable. Coffee was typical IHG coffee which is very weak and of poor taste. Also only had one creamer pack which was a bit annoying.

Definitely a great place to stay. The pool area was very clean and well taken care of. The suite we were in was very clean and spacious. But the best part of the visit was the staff. They were so friendly and helpful. We brought a bottle of wine with us and forgot our corkscrew, we went to the front desk and they had one that we could use and even helped us open it! I was very impressed that they went above and beyond to make our stay a great experience.
