Probably the most friendly staff I have encountered in my travels including the high priced, fancy resorts in the Caribbean. The workers at the Holiday Inn Alpena seemed to go out of their way to say hello and offer any help finding a local restaurant or a cup of coffee before hours. Hotel rooms and common areas are clean and... More

This hotel was clean, I will give it that. It was in need of a facelift, and the water in the shower would change from hot to cold so something to watch out for. The thing that got me with this hotel was the fact that we needed several pens for a meeting I was in town for. The hotel... More

We got a room that was pool side and our sliding doors walked you right onto the pool area, with pool tables, mini putt putt and hot tub. There were tables too to lounge near our room so we could visit and keep up with the kids. There was nothing "special" about the room, but it was accommodating. No breakfast... More

I stayed for business. The hotel is comfortable and clean, however is in need of renovations. The staff is very friendly and room was always cleaned well. I never ate in the hotel, but would recommend eating at the Courtyard - gotta try the garlic bread. Overall this was a decent hotel for a small town.

I am disabled and wanted to stay here with my wife and two young girls. I pay cash for all my transactions because I am severely disabled and collect disability. We like to get away occasionally, letting the kids have some pool fun. They charged me top dollar for a room with wallpaper peeling, stains on the ceiling, and big... More

We enjoyed this hotel. It is a typical Holidome with the pool, hottub and play area. The location is good and the rooms were clean. This isn't a 5 star hotel but great for a family out for some fun! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I always ask ahead of time for extra pillows and rarely get them,... More

THe bathroon has good lighting and hot water. They have flat screen TVs. The bed was good and confortable. No signs of any bugs. Need more outlets... More

This hotel was just average, sort of outdated, toilet did not flush well, you had to hold the handle down for a minute or so. The air conditioner/heater sounded like it was going to throw a rod.. Reasonable eating establishments on site, open courtyard (under roof) for the swimming pool. Again if you pay $25.00 more you get a $4.00... More

When there is an indoor pool the hallways and rooms tend to smell musty and the chlorine is noticeable. The staff was very accommodating but the little sign in the room reminding me not to steal the towels made me wonder if this is really the kind of place I want to stay...?
