“Night and Day :)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

Expedia and Super 8 had a miscommunication which left us without a room even though it was paid form confirmed with numbers and shown on credit card statements (The night portion). Holiday Express (which is the day portion of this review to be written shortly), and they accommodated us with cordiality and flexibility. The staff at the Holiday Inn were pleasant and kind enough to offer us a very nice room. They were keen to assist us after being so mistreated at the super 8 down the street. I recommend this hotel to people who like to be treated nicely.

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

We were recently in Barrie for a hockey tournament and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. The custormer service was superior. The staff was courteous and friendly. The rooms were clean. The hot breakfast was perfect for our players and parents. In the evening, the staff put of signs requesting that guests be quiet in the hallways. By 10 pm all was quiet. Great weekend. We'll definately staff at the Holiday Inn Express again. Thanks!

“Pretty nIce new place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

I was in Barrie to visit family and decided to stay at this Holiday Inn and was pretty happy. I thought the "Express" was a different type of Holiday Inn, but it turned out to be really fresh and clean and very quiet. So quiet I did not hear anything even though there was some wedding party of some type of group staying, I would recommend it and found the beds prefect for sleeping. (Sometimes hotels can differ from each other, but this one has really good beds). When I asked for directions around Barrie the staff were very helpful and even found me some brochures and map to help. Maybe it was a routine kind of things, but way better service.. And the breakfast was excellent too.
