Holiday Inn Express & Suites Barrie

The location worked well and the staff were welcoming and accommodating. Spacious room with good temperature control. The hot tub was pleasant.

The pool was much smaller than the picture suggested and the water was too cold. The pool shower is located right at the entry steps and runs across the decking one has to cross to get to the hot tub. Consequently that deck area was extremely wet and slippery. Regular mopping or even leaving a damp mop for customers to use would have been very helpful. While the hot tub was enjoyable, the timer was stuck on. In the room, the bathroom configuration was very tight and somewhat claustrophobic feeling. Lastly, the breakfast area is very small and when packed with children and their parents in town for a baseball tournament, was very noisy and hard to navigate. The food was adequate except that the bacon was paper thin and had a very off putting taste.

Bed was great, good location to stay, we will book again in the future.

Breakfast was just warm, oatmeal dry. But otherwise fine.

The room was clean

Staff wasn’t accommodating for an early check in request. Made us late to a wedding.
