I recently had the pleasure of staying at Holiday inn express and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine warmth and impeccable service. The luxurious accommodations, delicious dining options, and prime location made my stay truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Good value for the money. Breakfast was delicious. Very comfortable. Would definitely recommend

Heartfelt thanks to marie and his team for making our family vacation such a memorable experience. Everything was planned just the way it was mentioned in the itinerary. They took care of all our special needs with a smile. Ensured that cake and decoration was arranged on house boat for my daughter's birthday. Home stay with marie and his family was the best part of the trip - home cooked food, very comfortable stay! It is most recommended. Thanks again for a great trip and wonderful memories.

Employee Britney Young is a racist who is condoned my this company, they are aware of her actions and speech towards people of color including harsh slurs and highly disrespectful rhetoric, she claims they have seen and have knowledge of the incident and will not take action even though she advertises she works for them and has made it clear her employment will not be terminated

This hotel is by far the best hotel I've been to great front desk staff amazing breakfast staff and rooms are spotless great hotel highly recommend

Very nice hotel and decent staff.
When I checked in, I noticed that the staff warned everyone to take valuables out of their cars as there had been break ins. I figured that I didn't have much to worry about since I was parked very near the lobby door. Once the sun went down I saw why they had a problem as they had absolutely no lighting their parking lot making all the cars an easy target for theives no matter where you park.

Please put in some parking lot lighting in.

Also as is usually the case at Holiday Inn Express, breakfast was not so good as most everything was over cooked. The eggs were brown.

Our stay in this hotel was just amazing, Our room was spacious and clean, the front desk staff and cleaning ladies were fantastic and the breakfast spread was just amazing with many options to choose. The breakfast worth every penny. I stayed twice at this amazing hotel and both times I was super happy with the experience my family and I had.
Definitely staying here again and again. Well done
28 November 2022 5:42
Rooms where clean and the staff were friendly
and helpful.
The breakfast was very good.

This hotel was lovely. It’s modern, clean, and welcoming. Very nice hotel and would stay again should I have the misfortune of ending up in Sault Ste Marie again.
29 September 2022 7:43
We’ve stayed here on two occasions and both times were blown away by the staff. Really amazing service from all departments.
14 September 2022 12:11
On a cross-country trip, had to stay 3 nights instead of one due to car trouble. But, DANIELLE took great care of us, kept us in the same room at the same rate, and reassured us staying longer if necessary would not be a problem!
Cannot explain how much we appreciated that one less thing to worry about!
Thank you!
03 September 2022 22:47
Was very impressed with the comfort and cleanliness of this hotel. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area.
16 August 2022 13:55
Our stay at the Holiday In Sault Ste Marie was good. Check in was seamless, rooms were clean and our stay was enjoyable.
14 August 2022 2:37
First time in a Holiday inn in a long time.stayed for the week and it was a pleasant stay.rooms were nice, clean, and comforrable.had no issues with the internet at all.front desk staff went out of her way to help me.had to sign some papers and she printed everything out for me.all in all a good experience.
07 August 2022 2:29
Wonderful place to stay, great staff, great pool hot tub, wonderful breakfast, great location. Great parking, wheel chair accessibility, didn't wanna leave. Enjoy it for sure
31 July 2022 16:45
Nice hotel with nice rooms. The location is close to the waterfront so you can take a nice evening walk and come back quickly. They offer complemetary toiletries when you forget them. Slept well during the night
07 June 2022 0:59
This was an great hotel who treated us beyond amazing, we had an issue at a prior stay and they were so fast to make things right! They certainly go above and beyond for their visitors! The hotel is located right near so many amenities. Decent parking. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Definitely going to be my go to hotel!
24 February 2022 5:55
Good hotel everything was fine
Except the breakfast wasn’t that good because of Covid they provided grab and go standard items
28 January 2022 18:16
All in all good place good location close to the waterfront and shopping mall and casino is just down the street
02 December 2021 18:46
Was fine, the fire alarm made this high pitch dog whistling sound that was just audible enough to annoy me so had to throw a shirt over it. Other than that it was great.
01 December 2021 6:02
The hotel was clean and service was good, my issue is the parking lot is extremely dark and not well lit at night. If I am paying for parking I expect some decent lighting at the very least.
30 November 2021 17:33
Great service hotel despite its 2 star rating. Rooms are clean and include everything you need. Breakfast is deliciuos and well organized. Indoor pool is spacious and has an outdoor area to enjoy the warm weather,
29 November 2021 0:27
Reasonable rooms; I prefer suites and they only seem to have two of the particular type I like.

2 stars for the UNaccommodation of NOT offering a "day rate". Let me explain:

Called front desk and mentioned that I have a late evening flight and wanted to know if there was some kind of day rate/fee I can pay after a certain hour - I'm being told they do not offer them this time of year (when would you offer them then?) and that a full room rate would be charged (for the suite, 188$ PLUS taxes - I've already spent over 800$ including incidentals for just 3 days.no thank you).

"Okay, I guess I'll take your latest checkout of 1 pm"

So now I'll be roaming around town for an additional 5 hours before my flight, possibly with my luggage in hand great!

If I knew about them NOT offering an hourly rate or a "day rate" i would've chose the 5 am flight, but instead went for the 6 pm as it just seemed reasonable. Like I know the management of this hotel KNOWS the frequency of these flights and that there's only three departing daily.
28 October 2021 9:07
Clean, nice bathroom, comfy bed and nice breakfast to start your day. Helpful staff. Pool looked good but didn't try it out.
20 October 2021 8:40
We reached in Sault Ste Marie at 3am only to find that we messed up our reservation dates. I tried many hotels and they were all booked. I went to the Holiday Inn Express and they were completely booked too. But Sarah at the reception was extremely helpful and tried to find a workaround to get us the accommodation, while still following her protocol. I appreciate her empathy (she could see how tired we were after 11 hours drive, and we had 2 kids and elderly woman with us).

I cannot thank and appreciate Sarah enough for her dedication and the pleasantness she brings to her role - it’s getting more and more rare to see this kind of hospitality.

When I entered Holiday inn express that day, it was just another hotel to me. But after this wonderful experience, where ever I go - if I have an option to stay in Holiday inn, I will try to do so - my impression of the hotel is built upon the nice treatment I experienced.

The management/leaders of the hotel must be really proud to have Sarah on their team. Keep up the great work Sarah, you turned our holiday into a success by going out of your way to help us. Thank you again!

Parking is a nightmare here. If you can't find a spot on the property you have to park across the street in a mall parking lot. Not secure. Our room was on the first floor. The large room darkening curtains didn't close so getting dressed in the room was potentially and exhibition show. Our washroom only had half a roll of toilet paper. The room was small. The only chair was tiny and stained. We stayed here as it had breakfast and there were no eggs, no sausage, no bacon and wasn't worth the money we spent. I don't like to give reviews like this. It is not the fault of any of the staff we encountered. They were kind and courteous. This hotel really needs to adjust price and service levels. I will never stay here again on our trips north. I expect this will be addressed by hotel management.
08 October 2021 0:07
We stayed overnight. Overall great experience. Checks off all boxes:
Staff at reception were very helpful and friendly. Room was very clean. Wide selection of items at breakfast.

Will definitely consider HIE brand for future stays.
04 October 2021 5:01
Very poor experience with the Holiday inn, will not to be back.
Front desk staff was rude, and made us feel very awkward upon arrival and while checking out.
Rooms were tiny with minimal amenities.
Tv was not working, hot tub was Luke warm. Too top it all off 5$ for parking in a small street parking lot.
For 215$ A night you could find a better hotel anywhere else.
03 October 2021 7:10
Very nice, clean hotel. Rooms were well maintained- bedding was very clean and comfortable and staff were very friendly. The only thing that bugged me was that I was charged $5 for parking but the parking lot was very small and there were no available spots and I could not actually park in the hotel parking lot and had to park across the street. So I was charged to park in someone else's parking lot.
Another minor detail was that there were no plugs next to the beds to plug in your phone charger.but other than those minor issues, enjoyed our night!
01 October 2021 12:11
First time we have ever paid for parking at Holiday Inn Express, and we have stayed across Canada, US and Europe. Breakfast experience was terrible. Long line up, no milk, bread or eggs. Servers were friendly and showed great effort to keep up. Front desk clerk was condescending on check out. On the positive side, room was clean and comfortable. Stayed in 4 Holiday Inn Expresses this trip and this was the most expensive.
24 September 2021 5:15
It’s a Holiday Inn Express: predictable, clean, efficient, basic accommodation. The Station Mall is right across the street if you need to shop. The Delta Marriott a block away has a really good bar/dining room/patio right by the river. Queen Street a block the other way has some coffee shops, The Queens Tarts being notable.
21 September 2021 10:27
Rooms are fantastic, and the you can't beat the price. 3 floors, Pool, Hot tub, Sauna, Free Breakfast, Wheelchair accessible, front desk on site 24/7. A lot of third party booking sites say that it has free parking but it doesn't, It's $5/ a night. Right across from the mall downtown and right beside the GFL Memorial Gardens.walking distance to a lot of great food downtown and 5 minutes to the boardwalk.
17 September 2021 7:50
Very good place to stay. Clean, great staff, breakfast was decent and the ambiance was great. I recommend this Holiday Inn Express to anyone
11 September 2021 18:10
Emily at front desk is a darling she treated us so well and made us feel comfortable! The hotel is very clean, the breakfast is good too! A must stay while in town!
10 September 2021 13:55
WOULD GIVE 0!

My experience was absolutely TERRIBLE. A roach fell from the sky, and the sheets were dirtied by some yellowish substance (assuming it was pee). Very low maintenance, will not be staying another second here!
28 August 2021 21:09
Didn’t actually stay here as when we drove through EVERY SINGLE room in southwestern Ontario was booked but the amazing desk worker who was on at 1030 at night tried calling multiple other hotels to try and find a room for my family and I. Very impressed and on return trips across country if we are stopping in the Soo we will absolutely try to stay here. Very impressed with the service and we didn’t even stay here!
07 August 2021 10:05
Clean rooms and a comfy bed. Cant ask for much more. Good location many restaurants and breweries within walking distance. Courteous staff.
04 August 2021 12:59
The curtains were not blackout, didn’t get much sleep coz the morning sun was right in my face at 6: 30am. Here’s a picture of their gourmet breakfast, had to throw away the frozen sandwich coz even after heating it felt like rubber.
03 August 2021 22:37
As usual IHG is the best choice of hotels all over the world.
Friendly and helpful staff, excellent location in the town, clean hotel, strictly following the COVID-19 rules and procedures, clean room and bathroom, clean bedding sheets, very comfortable beds.
Little concern about the breakfast which wasn’t too good!
Overall I do recommend this hotel to other people.
16 July 2021 1:03
Mattress was so bad. Me and my husband had backache. Water was flowing on the bathroom floor, there was no boundary of the shower area. Room structure was really weird. It was expensive. Extra for paking was a surprise.
Hair dryer had hair before I used, I doubt if they cleaned it properly.
09 May 2021 4:47
A great hotel with friendly, professional, and courteous staff and clean rooms. Would recommend the holiday inn express SSM to anyone who is travelling to sault ste marie.
27 March 2021 21:18
Stayed for a night surprised by unexpectedly high quality room from budget price hotel. Great place to stay, nice front desk receptionist lady (night clerk).
Recommend!
09 March 2021 7:45
Pulled up, had a really good stay and appreciated the level of customer from the staff. Clean rooms and hotel. Doing their best given lockdowns have put a wealth of restrictions on most of the amenities. Right by the water and across from major shopping centre. When lockdowns end it will certainly be a hot spot. Recommend 10/10
12 February 2021 13:44
Super clean rooms and modern reno - nice job Holiday Inn! It's been a while since I stayed at a Holiday Inn. Big improvement from years past.
18 January 2021 6:56
Went here for travel, stayed two night. It's a three story building so can’t see many views. There is a one-way street near the hotel be careful when you driving at night. Very good holiday Inn, new, clean, fresh. Stuff are friendly, offer free mask in the lobby. Parking is outdoor in front of the gate. Very close to the St Mary River and a shopping mall nearby. Very close to downtown and the park. Breakfast is a food box, not that taste good. Will stay there again if I travel Set Marie again.
11 January 2021 7:02
The room was clean. The service was friendly. The breakfast to go bag was more substantial than some other hotels. It even had an Egg McMuffin that you could heat up in your microwave. They paid good attention to covid protocols. The $5 parking fee was an annoyance.
07 January 2021 15:10
Great experience with Grant at check in and he even made sure a spot for our Tesla was available before we arrived. Traveling long distance with 5 week old so he had closest room to entrance ready and waiting also.

Picked this hotel for the tesla chargers!
06 January 2021 10:07
Staff were so helpful. Place was very clean. The best nights sleep in a long time. Go ahead book a room and relax
29 December 2020 18:10
Room was perfect clean modern. Looks like new. Staff are very friendly. I definitely will be back.
24 December 2020 18:25
Rooms were nice and clean, friendly staff, not pet friendly though. Would still stay here again.
09 December 2020 3:18
They follow COVID guidelines well, which made us feel safe. Tesla charge stations led us to select them.
01 December 2020 13:59
Great location, across the street is Station Mall, the only mall in Sault. Old main street right behind with Thai, Chinese restaurant, a beer place and a coffee shop.

Comfy new clean room, nice mattress and decent pillows, great amenities with microwave. Breakfast not serving during covid but they gave us a takeaway breakfast bag which is very nice.

Rooms are not sound proof though so you can hear people talking, laughing in the corridor, hence the 4 star.

Overall, good location, nice clean room with good amenities, comfy stay and pleasant experience.
15 November 2020 4:29

Very clean and very friendly and accommodating staff. Room was spacious, definitely would stay here again while visiting Sault Ste Marie
02 November 2020 9:04
Awesome Place to Stay! Anytime and especially during these tough times. Staff, very friendly and helpful. Rooms kept clean and safe. Safety Precautions in place. Keep it up!
18 October 2020 21:52
It was a very clean hotel and staff were polite. The only problem we had is the pool. If you come here for the pool don't as it is so cold. The pool is not heated
29 April 2020 14:40
I stayed here with my wrestling team for 3 nights and the entire staff was very patient and nice to us all. They accommodated us for breakfast and started it earlier because we had and early tournament. They also had enough towels for us to shower everyday.
26 April 2020 9:48
Good size rooms very clean very polite staff breakfast is included I'll stay here again the next time I'm in Sault Ste Marie
10 April 2020 16:42
Staff were helpful. The breakfast was alright. It was a small hot breakfast which could be improved, but not completely horrible. The facility was clean and maintained well. I would stay there again.
20 December 2019 9:20
I like Holiday Inn. The rooms are nice. They have a coin laundary. The breakfast buffet has a great selection.
08 December 2019 8:34
My fav spot to stay at on a one night in town. Rooms are clean, the sauna is nice, and the breakfast is perfect. The area outside is under construction, but thats not a big deal
27 November 2019 13:47
Location is nice, staff are friendly and professional. The bed was ok, plenty of pillows to choose from. However there was a moldy/Mildew spot in my shower and the breakfast was just ok. I wish they would offer regular scrambled eggs instead of the cheese omelette because I can’t eat dairy.
13 November 2019 23:52
Stayed in a suite w 2 rooms only one small window that overlooked a roof air conditioner and a piece of plywood.was weird setup.
Hot tub jets dont work. Ice machine wasnt working.
Pop machines only take Canadian quarters and front desk doesnt have any quarters. I wasnt going to charge a bottle of pop.
23 October 2019 5:18
This is an older building that has not been kept up well. Amenities and general state of cleanliness was far below what I normally see at the HI Express chain.
08 October 2019 3:25
Enjoyed our stay. Right across from the station mall. Currently there is road construction right out front, but it just made access a little difficult. Looks like they should be done with that within a month or so.
