"Well other than waiting for over an hour to check in, which should have been a king size bed, I ended up with two queen-sized beds. The room was literally on top of the laundry room so anytime the laundry room was in use, I could hear and feel the washers and dryers. Couldn't get the TV to properly connect so no TV for three days. The pool definitely needed cleaning cause there was dirt and grime on the edges of the pool and the water was cloudy."
"I had booked the hotel a few hour prior to cancelling, I had an emergency and had to cancel , the lady at the front told me that she would cancel the reservation but I still had to contact Expedia. When I called Expedia , the hotel denied the cancellation and I got charged for the full stay. I am very disappointed."
"The property was very clean, lots of choices for food and the casino. There was only 1 person checking in which seemed crazy for the size hotel. Some of the male staff who were monitoring the elevators didn’t earn any stars for their personality or efforts. The room was large and roomy with an awesome bathroom and huge window to look out. Wished there was a microwave in the room. There was a safe and mini fridge. No door hangers so we couldn’t leave a do not disturb hanger on the door. The mattress was puffy like it was goose down and one side leaned so it felt like I was rolling out of bed all night and going uphill to get to the middle. Ample parking and close to all the attractions."
Holiday Inn Express Grand Island - Niagara Falls by IHG
6/10 Okay
"The hotel is in a nice, quiet location with short drives to get to the major attractions. However, the hotel could use some updates. It was hard to catch someone at the front desk outside of morning hours. There was an ice machine not working, a coffee machine not working, pancake machine at breakfast not working. Nothing too major but annoying when you’re counting on using those things. The employees I interacted with were friendly and helpful."
