We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express for 5 days over the holidays, and had a very good stay. The room (King Suite on the 3rd Floor) was quiet and roomy, with a kitchenette. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and greeted us warmly upon arrival. The included breakfast was very good (not just a continental breakfast, but cooked items too including omelets, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and excellent hot cinnamon rolls!) The gym is a good size, with both cardio equipment and free weights. And the heated indoor pool is good for swimming laps (with adult hours 6am-8am). The only drawbacks we encountered were that the bed was really soft, too soft even. And we found that we had to reconnect our devices to the WiFi on a daily basis, which was a tad annoying. read more

Our adventure started by opening our door to a dirty, not yet cleaned room. Went back down to get another room but they only had a queen, despite us paying for a king suite. Didn't adjust the rate at all as they said they would, either. Absolutely not worth the $275/night we paid...Fyi, don't get room 233 if you want to get any sleep. The elevator roars so loud all night long that it shakes the bathroom and tub. Very disappointed in this stay. Back to only staying at Marriott. They know how to treat a customer. read more

We were looking for a place to stay everywhere in Port Angeles and found one place with a snobby guy at the counter so I was convinced that I could find a better place and I did! This hotel was very nice! The older man at the front was so friendly and approachably (exactly what an attendant should be). He talked with us while getting together the paperwork and let me know that he was there for whatever I may have needed. The beds were comfy and the rooms were nice and big, along with a big tub. The swimming pool opens at 6am for adults, which is great because we were still on Texas time and woke up everyday between 4 and 5am. The breakfast was good...the usual bisquits and gravy, pancakes, juices, bagels, muffins, fruit, etc...and it was all fresh. Very worth the extra 15 min drive!!! read more

Came for a family trip on Valentine's/President's day weekend. This hotel is very clean and well maintained. The staff are exceedingly nice & very quick to assist us with any needs or questions that we had. We stayed in the one-room suite. Our room had two queen beds, a pullout sofa, table, fridge, microwave and standard coffee maker. The beds were comfy and soft. Perhaps too soft for me as I prefer a firm mattress. There were plenty of down-type pillows on the bed. The bathroom was pretty much standard-issue, but very clean and functional. The free breakfast was good, our kiddos loved the pancake machine, my husband liked the biscuits & gravy and I enjoyed the oatmeal. There's a rooftop garden that looks like an awesome place to watch the sunset, or to just relax and take in the scenery. The pool was clean and warm, the jacuzzi pleasantly hot after a day of outdoor adventuring. We will return to this hotel the next time we are in the area. read more

No bedbugs! Yaaaay! On top of that I scored a bedroom with two queen beds for $98 after taxes per day. Turns out Sequim is a very popular place for tourist before they go into the Olympic National Park. I really like the fact that they have an indoor heated swimming pool as well as a hot tub. They even have a fitness center that is open for 24 hours a day. Inside the fitness center they have all sorts of equipment such as the elliptical, weights, exercise bike, Bosu ball, and more! On the 4th floor is the rooftop area which has a lot of chairs and tables set up however there is no fire pit so make sure to bring your thick coat in the winter. Is ideal to be on the rooftop for the sunrise and the sunset. The choice of lotion it is very small like from Bath and Body Works called white citrus which you would get lotion, soap, Shampoo, and conditioner. They also provide a packet with a sheet to cleanse your face or wipe off makeup which is really nice. What impressed me the most though is the fact they have a wide spread of breakfast items. You can get dollar size pancakes which comes in bunches of 10 from their machine, three types of oatmeal that are Quaker Oats brand such as the maple brown sugar, apple cinnamon even without any flavor. You can also get their cinnamon rolls, biscuits which were on the rubbery side, gravy which has pieces of pork sausage, pork sausage, turkey sausage, and cheese omelettes. In the fridge they have fat free milk, chocolate milk, 2% white milk, hard boiled eggs that has its shell off, Chobani strawberry and blueberry yogurt, cream cheese, and even butter, four types of cereal, apple and orange juice as well as an array of breads/pastries. Oh and also apples and bananas. I went on two rounds of eating breakfast. Breakfast is served from 630 to 9 am on Mon to Friday and 630 to 10 am on Saturday and Sunday. WiFi was fast enough to let me watch some you tube videos but would drop about once an hour. read more

I have a thing for shower pressure. It gives you a clean feeling...this Holiday Inn express passed that test! The pressure is awesome and you feel clean and fresh instead of some places where it comes out soft or having to wash your kids off a few times instead of one round lol. The pool area is awesome. You have huge windows for the sun to shine in keeping the pool area nice and heated. The staff is nice and breakfast was great! It's organized and clean. The only reason it's not 5 stars are the beds. It's not comfy and has that spring in your back feel. But other than that everything is great. read more

I was disappointed with the massive amount of stains on the rug in my room. It was disgusting. The room is old but the bed is comfy. No digital key, small tv, just a very basic room. read more

Im sorry but we're not able to rate as high this stay. The housekeeping service was very good, 5-stars. Super friendly and very helpful while doing a great job! Front desk was not so hospitable. I'm not sure why the anger or crappy hospitality but this may be our last time with more properties and cottages available in the area. No names here, but the dude at the front desk who checked us in this past weekend could work on showing gratitude for his job or some form of hospitality. Try saying "thank you ", "welcome in", "please enjoy your stay", "is there anything else i can do?" - something! Thanking guests for their stay and putting effort into engaging in, welcoming and assisting guests is what employees working in hospitality do. We've had more gracious service at most every other hotel, and certainly any other HIE we've stayed in. Oh, and you weren't truthful about our room. We learned on check out that there were King suits on the second and third floors. The "king suite" we had on the first floor was a dark dungeon. One guest chair. Cold, dark with 1 small picture in the room with 1 in the bathroom. The suite really is just a large room with a small table to eat, microwave and fridge. Nothing cozy about the cave. Suites on the higher floor that we stayed in earlier were brighter and more comfortable. 1 star for the front desk employee who probably shouldn't be guest-facing. read more

Be warned that you have to make a reservation for the pool... Which they fail to tell you on their website, when you make your reservation and when you're checking in. Not to mention it's not posted anywhere in the hotel. As one of the only hotels in the area with a pool, you'd think that's information they would provide you with. I paid $400 for two nights for a weekend getaway so my kids could enjoy the pool and we can't even go to the pool at all because there were no reservations available. Now I'm stuck in an over priced mediocre hotel room with bored kids. If you don't care about the pool you can go to 7 cedars and pay the same price for a WAY nicer hotel. If you do care about the pool go to Silverdale. This place is absolutely not worth it. Do better Holiday Inn. read more

Fantastic view of Mount Baker, great place to stop if you are going to Olympic National Park. When you visit this Holiday Inn Express you MUST go up to the 4th floor and check out the view of Mt Baker, simply beautiful! The room was very nice, we had to wait for the head of housekeeping to inspect our room before we could enter, yep the room was not 100% ready and up to her standards, of course I could have been upset because I had to wait twenty minutes... however, I appreciated the attention to detail and the quality that came with it. The entire complex is smoke free, very clean, nicely landscaped and very well maintained. read more

I am going to give the service at this hotel 5 big stars! Thanks to Shawn, an employee who truly cares, gives top notch service, acts like everyone is the most important person he's met today, and goes above and beyond to give excellent care. I have not experienced his level of customer service in a long time. From the phone conversation which was kind and informative, to him getting us a room on an impossibly busy night, Shawn elevated a regular experience into something special. I want to brag about Holiday Inn and my experience to all! Keep up the people first attitude and you'll be a success always! read more

Commentary; Very cozy and welcoming. The rooftop garden would probably be gorgeous in the summer. The service was great and I loved the breakfast. The elevators were pleasantly paced as well. Complaints; Room was very small and some machinery was loud during sleeping hours. read more

Stayed here only one night on a road trip. Kids had a good time in the pool which was clear and clean. Pool area clean as well. Check in quick. Room was comfortable and clean. Bed was more comfy than expected. Bonus breakfast included- this was actually a real breakfast. 2 types of eggs, 2 types of sausage plus all the carbs to go with. I would stay here again. read more

Almost perfect. Hubby and I spent two nights camping, so I know we smelled like campfire & weren't quite freshly scrubbed when we walked in. We were pleasantly surprised that the lady at the front desk was so polite and helpful. She registered us & spent at least another 15 min showing us maps & telling us about nice places to eat. She even recommended a spot to watch the sunset. Wonderful staff. The pool & hot tub area were clean and well-kept, & it was so nice that they're open until 10 pm. The room was great. At first it seemed very clean. Orderly & well-stocked. We even had a wonderful view of the sunrise the next morning. The 1st problem came when we crawled into bed. I separated the layers of sheets & comforter on the bed only to find a blood stain. It was obvious that the comforter had not been washed at all. I can tell the difference between a washed & an unwashed menstrual stain. Of course I wasn't going to sleep under someone else's bloodstained linens. Since I was concerned that none of the bed linens had been washed, I sent my husband downstairs to exchange them. The lady at the desk offered to make an adjustment by the morning, but the next morning an unadjusted bill was slipped under our door. We didn't feel like we should have to ask about the adjustment. That just seemed tacky. I suppose we could have made a big deal out of it, but we feel like the adjustment should have been made, as promised, without us having to ask. (Also... the wifi was pretty much nonexistent, so be prepared for that.) Overall it was a good experience. The room was wonderful and so was the staff. However, this hotel costs about $50/night more than others in the area. I'm sure we got more for the money even with the issues we had. But I hope they will consider what a huge deal it is to allow guests to sleep in unwashed linens. That's not something I should encounter in an expensive hotel like this. read more

My husband, kids and I stayed here 2 weekends ago and it was a wonderful stay! Great staff, super clean rooms and the pool was lovely. I definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area! Only about 30 min from Port Townsend and tons of fun stuff to do right in town. Nice hotel. read more

This was the first hotel stay I had since the pandemic hit. It's a very nice hotel and has everything you need. Very nice location. Great parking. Room was very spacious and very clean. The desk staff was very friendly. And for a minute there it looked like it was gonna be a perfect stay. The reason this isn't a five star review is the fact that the maintenance man was walking around the halls (including past me three times) with his mask down around his neck. He was in full view of management and they did nothing to admonish him to wear his mask. At that point I felt unsafe. I hope the hotel management begins to take C-19 seriously. I will not be likely to stay here again as long as this particular maintenance man is employed by the hotel and as long as they don't take the pandemic seriously. I've lost 13 friends and associates to C-19. It's real. And if businesses want to come back from this, especially travel related businesses, then there needs to be complete adherence to the governor's rules about mask wearing. read more

It was a dark night. I'd say it was about 10pm. We'd been driving for about 5 hours. We were hungry, we were tired. We couldn't see anything in the darkness. I just hear screams and a swerve of the car. "SASQUATCH they scream. I swear it was the Sasquatch!" We didn't actually stay in this musty hotel. We just needed to tell our tale. Now, we go to live with the Skookum in the rainforest of Washington! Okay okay for real... Now for the review. First of all the internet said the room would be $124.99. We get here just to be told it's actually $174. Obviously we had no other choice but to stay as we just almost hit a Sasquatch. Duh! We had to get off the road. We walk through the hallways basking in a disgusting musky smell. (Must have been the gym that's also located on floor 2). We get to the room and the pull out couch is not a queen size as we were told but actually a full bed. Holiday Inn only allows one extra comforter and will charge $15 for a second one. This was all kind of a downer. This place still deserved a 3 star review as it was nice on the outside. The inside is pretty clean and the continental breakfast is always average. My pancake was burnt coming out of the pancake maker and this Holiday Inn doesn't have the delicious packaged Gluten free muffins like all the other ones I've been too. THAT was a huge bummer. Instead we got dried out miniature muffins. I mean. Where was the granola for the yogurt?! Anywho, for real, now we are off to get all up in that Hoh. read more

We stayed here for one quick night for my fiancées business dinner & it was so great! The rooms were wonderful. Bed was very comfy and pillows AMAZING. John working the front desk that night was very nice & gave us awesome customer service! They are lucky to have such a GREAT employee (especially that late at night, with an alcohol induced bunch). read more

I have used this hotel on two occasion and each year it seems to get better. This year there is a great new restaurant right next door that opens super early and although the hotel has a free breakfast, this place has a very low priced breakfast as well. I come into town only for the NODMarathon and this hotel is literally around the corner from the start line. Some people actually run from the hotel to the start. The other poster already commented on the microwave and the beds and tv, but I do appreciate the little fridges as well. I always like to keep my water cold and any leftovers, etc. It's a nice feature that drives me crazy if a hotel doesn't have. My family is happy that they are actually allowed to sleep in for once on a race day. This hotel has all the amenities expected and their staff is ultra friendly. Another new item this year is the spa lotion (for purchase) and water (water is free and it's fantastic), but the aroma is a a lot better than most hotel lobbies and it's in a very convenient location to the town as well. I will come back next year too. read more

+ comfortable bed + friendly staff + automatic pancake making machine! The hotel hosts free pancake nights because it owns a machine that just spits out pancakes + gym and pool - breakfast could be better - no room service at night so you have to get extra toiletries / towels yourself - pricey read more

Worst hotel experience of my life. Review of Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites North Sequim Billing is deceptive. The pricing Says : Rate Plan. Had the length of the trip and the price - but hotel said it was the price per night not for the entire stay - even though I asked the hotel desk clerk if it was the price for the entire stay and the clerk said "yes + Taxes. - Anyway - The Billing is not clear, Management not only did not try to resolve the issue in any way they actually tried to scapegoat and flip the situation by accusing the customers integrity. 1) Manager needs to go to customer sensitivity training or needs to be let go or put them in a different role that they do not interact with the public. so 1) Clarify and ask for the total charge of you stay in writing - ** Don't let them send you a confirmation that has the word "Rate Plan" - Unless it says - Total Stay or Per night read more

One of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in. The staff was beyond exceptional. Very welcoming warm environment. The pool and hot tub are incredible. The location is perfect. I can't say enough good things about our stay. The convenient restaurant next-door was awesome. Would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to the area. read more

We used the Holiday Inn Express for our wedding block over the weekend of September 7-9th and the staff were absolutely wonderful. The rooms were great - about what you would expect for a Holiday Inn Express. The pool and hot tub are nice, and the breakfast is nice as well. My only issue is that they now require a catering contract with the restaurant across the parking lot and don't allow outside food to be brought in to the roof. Kind of a bummer since the roof is such a cool space. We totally would have been ok with it had we have known in advance, but this wasn't posted anywhere on their website. Perhaps a more updated website with additional information would serve them well. Otherwise a great stay with very helpful staff. read more

Nice hotel, very clean, friendly service. It seems to be a good value. You get the standard Holiday Inn Express kitchenette (including sink, microwave, and fridge) which is very useful for either re-heating leftovers from the night before, or for doing some simple microwave cooking. Comfy bed, nice TV. There is a deck on top of the hotel which has an OK view of the surrounding area -- I call it an 'OK view' because there isn't that much to actually see. At night it remains unlocked and you can go up there and do a little stargazing -- although the view is limited by the lights that are on the deck all through the night. I did get to see a lunar eclipse from that roof and it was certainly adequate to see that without any difficulty. I have also tried their pool; in the morning they open up for 'lap swimming' and only allow adults in the pool area. Great - the only problem was, at my last visit, the heater was broken. I swam about 30 lengths (this pool is not very big, I'd estimate about 10-15 yards max following the diagonal direction across) before deciding it simply wasn't going to get any warmer (and I wasn't going to suddenly tolerate the cold water) and calling it quits. It was a good way to wake up! However, it's definitely not a place where you can get in a proper lap swim routine. I like this hotel and I plan on returning in the future the next time we go exploring the Sequim/Port Angeles/Dungeness areas. This is a great "home base" to use if you're visiting any of those areas. read more

Stayed here for 2 nights during a visit to beautiful Sequim! Hotel looks very new, super clean, big room, comfy beds, great staff.....could not have asked for more! It is not the closest hotel to downtown Sequim, but still only like 5 minutes away. Would definitely stay here on our next stop in Sequim!! read more

We recently stayed here on vacation--we were tired from a long hike and wanted a nice place to relax. From the moment of check in the staff exceeded our expectation! Everyone was so kind, helpful and eager to please. The facility was clean and comfortable--they seemed to just go the extra mile with the details that matter! Also, the complimentary bfast was amazing! Would stay again in a heart beat! read more

We were on a two week road trip staying at a different hotel every night. We checked in on Sunday August 30th at about 3pm. The two ladies at the front deck could not have been more welcoming. They were professional and informative compared to all the hotels we stayed at this one stood out from the rest. Makes me want to only stay at holiday inns. Highly recommend. read more

The hotel is so coooooooool! The staff was friendly and responsive. The room was clean and large. read more

Stopped here for a night when we lost power on the other side of the peninsula. The conveniently-located Tesla supercharger sealed the deal. Front desk staff was efficient and friendly, and the room was quiet and comfortable. My reason for not giving this place a 5, is that the breakfast bar was a nightmare of sustainability. There were no coffee mugs, only styrofoam to go cups. The utensils were plastic, and no alternatives to dairy for coffee and oatmeal. For goodness sake, I got soy milk at a similar place in Anchorage! The people stocking the breakfast items were helpful, but there was only so much they could do with the supplies. read more

I my lady friend work here and they have a great restaurant name the Black Bear dinner. It a must go to. Holiday Inn Express is a mid-priced hotel chain within the InterContinental Hotels Group family of brands. As an "express" hotel, their focus is on offering limited services and a reasonable price. Standard amenities lean toward the convenient and practical which cater to business travelers and short-term stays. As of March 2015, there were over 2,300 Holiday Inn Express hotels worldwide.[1] The Holiday Inn Express concept was intended to target the "upper economy" market segment, offering limited service, low-price lodging. In 1991, the first Holiday Inn Express locations opened, with three hotels opening in the United States. Plans at the time called for 250 locations to be open by 1995.[1] In 1996, the brand's first European location opened in Scotland.[1] Marketing[edit] Starting in 1998, Holiday Inn Express started an ad campaign called "Stay Smart" ads that featured ordinary people achieving superior feats, such as averting a nuclear disaster or performing like rock stars. When questioned on whether or not they are professionals, they would attribute their skills to their stay there with the reply: "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express!" These ads have received positive reviews, and have been so successful they have crossed over into popular culture, having been featured in late night comedian jokes and political cartoons.[6] In Europe, the hotels were known as Express by Holiday Inn,[7] but this variation was phased out during the Holiday Inn Global Brand Relaunch which was announced in 2007.[citation needed] Properties[edit] Holiday Inn Express, Belmont, California Typical Holiday Inn Express hotels are built from corporate architectural prototypes, and tend to consist of 60-80 rooms, with a mix of suites and standard rooms in North America properties. Because the chain has been undergoing tremendous growth, the majority of Holiday Inn Express hotels are brand new or newly renovated.[8][9][10] Facilities[edit] Most hotels in North America offer a fitness center with various equipment such as treadmills, indoor swimming pool, and a hot tub.[citation needed] Most Holiday Inn Express hotels offer a business center with equipment such as computers, printers, and fax equipment. Additionally hotels in the United States offer free local calls and free in-room wireless Internet.[citation needed] Food and beverage[edit] Express Start Breakfast Bar at Holiday Inn Express, Kalamazoo, Michigan. On-site restaurants and lounges are not present in most U.S. properties, but many international locations offer food and beverage service.[citation needed] Holiday Inn Express North America locations offer the company's "Express Start" breakfast bar. The self-service buffet generally consists of common breakfast offerings, including cereal, a hot meat product, a hot egg product, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, bagels and muffins, fruit, yogurt, and the brand's exclusive cinnamon roll. Beverages consist of milk and juice, along with its own "Smart Roast" coffee. European locations offer a continental breakfast style buffet. read more

Stayed here twice, and this hotel is nice and clean, comfortable beds, nice indoor pool etc. Reason for only two stars: it is completely overpriced! Heard from the front desk that the average price is $280 a night (i'm guessing in summertime), we payed $240 with a non-refundable rate. For that price (and in Sequim!), there are quite a few things missing: from small touches like tissue, water bottles and better HD TV in the room to much nicer breakfast options or even a bar in the hotel. I realize this is a Holiday inn, bu if you're going to price it like an intercontinental!! Drop the price a 100 bucks and it is a 5 star review.... PS: The person at check in was ok, but not very nice, she seemed in a hurry to get rid of me, and just said "this is your key, all the info is on this little card"... read more

So, I'm looking at reviews by other guests and wondering what rooms they stayed in. Our room had a bed with a saggy, miserably uncomfortable mattress, stained carpets, stained bedding, stains on the bathroom walls, a dirty coffee maker and a filthy refrigerator. We asked for another room and were told that none were available. When we told someone at the front desk the next morning how disappointed we were, we were told that the carpets were due for a cleaning soon. Later we were offered a free night's stay at that location, but it wasn't worth the $150 we paid and we wouldn't stay there again for free, either. The free breakfast was okay, but we couldn't find a clean table in the dining area (and they weren't that busy.) We finally got napkins and water and cleaned our own table. The roof-top gardens are lovely. Maybe we should have slept up there... read more

We stayed for one night. Everything felt and smelled brand new. The beds were especially comfy. The breakfast was better than most free breakfasts and the setup was clean. The lobby had icy lemon water which is always nice. Something different was the roof patio. There was a decorated roof patio with potted plants, tables, chairs and string lights. This was the best chain hotel I have stayed at in a long time. read more

I have been staying at this hotel for the past year or so because I come up to Sequim every few months. There are so many great things to say about this hotel and it's employees, where do I start? First of all, it is clean and nice plus the beds and pillows are so comfortable! My room has everything I need when traveling up here too. The staff are so friendly! Ash has been a pleasure at the front desk as she is always here when I come back to my hotel in the evening. She (and others too) always greet you upon entering and leaving plus ask how you are doing and if you need anything. Ash has been a pleasure to talk to a bit on my way in each night. Also, I'd like to give a shout out to the ladies and gents in the breakfast area: Christine, Chloe and Jaime! They are so friendly and make you smile when you walk in - plus are so helpful with getting you whatever you need in the morning! They ask about how you are doing, and remember your name. I feel well cared for at this hotel which feels like a family run business. :) This hotel is always my go-to when I'm in Sequim! read more

Awesome hotel. The rooms are clean and come with a keurig! The pool is big and warm, hot tub has super strong jets and is rather large. And the complimentary breakfast had hot cinnamon rolls, white egg omelettes, sausage, bacon, muffins, pancakes, juices and flavored water, toast, bagels- everything! It was delicious! I was really surprised by how nice this hotel is- since we've had not so nice experiences at nearby hotels. I would strongly recommend! Oh- they also have huge mini fridges in the room, a 24 hr fitness room, and a laundry room on the first floor for your convenience. Such a nice experience. read more

This hotel will steal from you... I was accused of smoking in my room and charged an additional $200 after i complained that the bathroom was left dirty with curly hair and boogers found on the wall. Dont ever stay here....... read more

Excellent staff...Everyone i encountered in my 5 day stay was professional,pleasant and polite. The room, hotel , pool jacuzzi and workout area, laundry were all very clean. The breakfast was quick and easy.i really enjoyed the lemon water. I will stay here anytime I am in Sequim read more

You do not have many choices in Sequim for good hotels, so I guess they are about the best from what I hear from friends in the area. The rooms are clean and very well decorated with adequate space. Nice pool, small fitness center with only a few machines. Friendly and professional front desk staff. A nice touch to always have either cucumber or lemon water available in the lobby. The breakfast foods are adequate and if you prefer something more, there is a nice dinner right past the parking lot. The sitting area on the rooftop is great. The drawback are thin walls/doors. The windows are not good quality to fully block out sounds of the highway/road noises. With just one elevator, at times there could be long wait periods. For the price, one should expect a bit more but again, there are not many good choices in the area. read more

Nice hotel in Sequim with all the amenities, free internet, and free breakfast each morning. The staff was quite friendly as well. My main complaint was that the internet connection was not stable at all and we could not access it all weekend. read more

We had a great stay. Clean, nice staff, good breakfast. Owner of the hotel owns Black Bear Cafe next door and front deal gave us coupons.
