ADDITIONAL HOTEL REVIEWS

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area, an IHG Hotel Reviews Summary

  • Hotel review by Amanda

    Amanda

    Very Good

    Very good

    Pros: Location close to Hyvee Hall. Rooms were comfortable. Meals on premises were very helpful. Shuttle to Hyvee Hall was very convenient. Drivers Johnny and Mike were great.
    Cons: The girl at reception was very rude. (I think her name was Angie) She spoke so fast that she couldn't be understood over the phone. Hung up on us on 3 different occasions when 3 different persons in our company asked her to repeat what she said. We waited 45min for a shuttle and eventually walked from Hyvee Hall to the hotel. No big deal, but 2 persons had the flu and bad chests, worsened by the cold air. It was different when she was not on duty.

    Poor

    If you’re into sweat lodges,...

    Pros: Staff was friendly and inside was overall nice.
    Cons: The room was sweltering hot, AC wouldn’t turn on, let staff know, no one came to fix it so we ended up going home. We were local but were there for a party. Actually spoke to others whom got their room refunded but I guess my husband and I were the ugly step children because we got zero assistance.

    Pros: Clean room. Nice restaurant staff & food.
