Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Fort Dodge by IHG
8/10 Good
"Property was decent, beds were great. We were given keys a check in to a room that was already occupied. This was the only concern I had. It was taken care of but still concerning."
"We stayed on April 18th overnight. The check in was super fast, friendly, and smooth. We arrived early but instead of waiting for the room assigned to us, the clerk quickly found a room that was ready and checked us in. The room smelled clean and looked very clean :). The only issue we had was our room faced the pool on the first floor, and they must have been hosting a kids party because the pool area was packed with kids and was super loud. Fortunately, I had brought ear plugs, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to fall asleep until the pool closed.
The continental breakfast was typical, but it would have been nice to offer lactose free options, such as oat/almond milk for the coffee/tea. It did have a 'make your own pancakes' as well, but with all the children there, it had a big line up so I skipped it.
For the price we paid, it was well worth the stay! The beds were super comfortable as well as the pillows. It was exactly what we needed after driving 13 hours from Toronto!
Overall, I would recommend this place, just be mindful to ask for a room NOT right beside the pool area if you are a light sleeper. "
"I ended up in a Kingbed suite that was built in the 70’s. It had a triangular jet tub in the living room with big mirrors on the walls above the tub. It had a fold out couch that the cousins were totally filthy with grease and a chair the same condition. I would not even sit on them. I sat on the desk chair. The bathroom and bed were good. Breakfast was a joke. The only thing they had was a waffle maker. Plastic knives and plastic spork. The entire interior had a bad smell. Very bad overall!"
