“Clean updated property.....”

Recently spent 1 night at the Holiday Inn in Windsor. We had a winning Priceline bid and were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. Check in was easy, the lobby nice,and the rooms clean and updated.

“NO KIDS EAT FREE - NO POOL”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2012

-Pool and Hot tub whirlpool are waiting for parts - only 2 or 4 elements heating them so COLD! Tried to warm up in the sauna but...the Sauna is also not working! Big disappointment for kids NO POOL!
-"Kids eat free" is at the discretion of the hotel (according to customer service 1-800-621-0555) because it is a privately owned hotel but we didn't find out until AFTER we ate and this is AFTER I inquired at the front desk where to go to find the kids eat free, AND double-checked at the hostess station that we were at the right restaurant, Grill 55, AND asking the waitress what I needed to order for the kids to eat free! We waited 2 hours for food and then at bill time we were asked for a kids eat free coupon and only then were we told we didn't qualify - AFTER we already ate! (Regret I didn't go to the Hamptons across the street where a hot breakfast is included!)
-Our bathroom did not have a bathroom fan for our 4 guests and worse the toilet is so low with the bowl water very high so that the girls in our group would get wet hands trying to wipe and the boys complained their private parts would soak in the toilet water while trying to go! GROSS!
-One elevator was being used to move things so only 2 were working for most of weekend.
-Numerous calls to customer service only resulted in "I'm Sorry"...everyone is sorry I was "led to believe" that kids eat free! So don't be misled!

Thank you for your feedback. We take our guest comments very seriously and use these as a training opportunity or to provide positive feedback to our associates.

We apologize for the mechanical challenges that you experienced during your stay and the hotel has addressed and repaired said areas.

The brand standard at any Holiday Inn property dictates that kids eat free with a paying adult when paying regular rates. This offering does not apply to discounted "group bookings" unless the group/team has arranged this with the restaurant PRIOR to the group arrival.

Once again, thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for your comments and for choosing to stay at the Holiday Inn and Suites - Ambassador Bridge.

We are in the finishing stages of our major renovation, however we are constantly updating and refreshing all areas to keep our hotel looking great!

Like all hotels, our pricing is based on our occupancy levels, so there will always be fluctuations in our rates. Our upgraded Junior King Suites are lovely rooms and are always in very high demand!

Grill 55 has received "rave" reviews from our guests and they take a great deal of pride in their culinary creativity. The menu items change frequently in order to keep things updated and seasonal.

As you had mentioned, we are ideally located, very close to the Ambassador Bridge, the University of Windsor, St. Clair College and Hwy 401!

Once again, thank you for your comments and we look forward to having you stay with us in the future.

“Under new management: a few bumps along the way”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 10, 2012

This is a good quality hotel that provides some nice amenities, like a larger-than-average indoor pool, and a whirlpool (out of service when I visited, however).
On a crowded weekend with lots of families, one elevator was also out of service the whole time, making it a little difficult to come and go easily.
Reservations system was not running perfectly, although the hotel did have accurate information when I checked in. The toll-free res system showed this entire property fully booked, which was definitely not correct.
Onsite restaurant, Grill 55, needs to find its feet: the menu is not going to satisfy many room service customers, and the eat-in trade may find it overpriced, given the main entrees, which are basically elevated pub food.
The hotel's proximity to the Ambassador Bridge/Detroit is a plus, but the new management will have to complete their renovations and upgrades before they'll be able to maximize the hotel's potential.
A word on prices: they are all over the map at this location. Do not accept the first rate they offer, and insist on discounts if you are staying more than two nights. Always request a king corner suite if you like peace and quiet.

Room Tip: Request a king-corner suite if you want the quietest room.

Thank you for your comments and for choosing the Holiday Inn and Suites!

We are currently in the finishing stages of our 5 million dollar renovation, however we are continually updating our product to keep our hotel fresh. Like all hotels, our rates are based on our occupancy levels, so there will be fluctuation in our rates. We are competitively priced for our market and continually adjust when necessary, I'm glad that you enjoyed our upgraded Junior King Suites. This room type is always in very high demand!

I do apologize about the one elevator being inoperable. The elevator company was called immediately, however they had to order the part that was required, which caused a delay in getting it fixed.

Grill 55 has received many positive comments since opening and certainly take all of our guests comments into consideration. This restaurant takes great pride in their culinary creativitiy and frequently change the items on the menu to keep things fresh and new

As you mentioned, our location is ideal as we are located very close to the Ambassador Bridge, the University of Windsor, St. Clair College and Hwy 401!

Once again, thank you for your comments and we look forward to having you stay with us once again!

“Nice, clean, friendly - what more could you ask for???”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 27, 2012

We recently stayed at this hotel while attending a convention in the city, so the hotel was booked to the max, but the staff were friendly and accommodating even though I am sure they were run off their feet. Our room was great, King Suite. Nice to have the separated sitting area, and microwave/sink/fridge in room - very convenient with small children. Every day the maid service was wonderful - room always clean. Hotel is close to everything and it is nice to have a Tim Horton's so close. Just a few suggestions: More luggage carts, when it is booked to the max they are in high demand. Also, the free wifi, you had to log in every time you wanted to use it - most hotels I have been at the wifi, you just sign in once and you are connected for the remainder of your stay. We will definitely stay here again.
