We drove back to Truro from Halifax because we found a better deal at a Holiday Inn there. This was our first time staying at just a Holiday Inn (not a Holiday Inn Express). The biggest difference we could find was the standard hotel doesn't include breakfast, so my husband definitely had an Express preference. read more

Please note this hotel is now called the Inn on Prince and is no longer the Holiday Inn. Hotel is what you would call a "no frills" with the best price in town. Lots of people stay here due to temporary work, which is completely fine. In fact, I had one of the best sleep on my East Coast trip. Just lower the standards a lot and don't expect glitz. Even so, the cleaning was not done to even pre-covid standards as there was hair on the ottoman. read more

I believe this Holiday Inn needs a little TLC. Checking in, the lobby seems updated, clean and well kept. Then you will notice only one elevator. And it's a very slow moving elevator. I think believe every time we used it we had a 10 minute wait. Even the cleaning staff had sighs of frustration. The room was clean but very stuffy. We had to run the air conditioner colder than I prefer to get the mustiness out while we were at dinner. The beds were ok but could also use some updating. Being in N.S. I would've thought putting a thick comforter would have been standard. Not the case here. A sheet and thin blanket made for a chilly night stay. It was also odd the sink and vanity area was the first thing you see when entering the room. I was glad to see this was updated and clean. The bathroom however was very small and cramped. It surely wasn't the normal Holiday Inn room I've stayed in. There is a restaurant on site but I would recommend leaving the hotel if you have time. Luckily we were just passing through for one night. I don't have to worry about staying here again. read more

This hotel was comically bad. The stay started with robotic staff, who repeated the same exact speal when I asked about different accommodations and the booking of my room. The front desk clerk barely made eye contact with me, and demanded that I paid for my entire stay before checking in! When I asked why, as I have never had to do this at previous Holiday Inns, they were unable to provide a reason or explain. Simply restating word for word "your reservation type requires payment up front"... Yes, they did have my credit card on file, yet still required full payment up front... My next concern, before even leaving the Lobby, was the archaic elevator. One single elevator in the building which was very cramped and extremely slow. Often you would also have to wait several rounds of passengers before being able to fit in it! We checked out very early to avoid the rush in the morning because of this elevator. Still not at our room yet, the hallways of our floor were incredibly narrow! We used a cart for our many bags, and could barely pass a person beside the cart in the hallway. The decor in the hall was extremely dated, a 70s brown color that only made the hallway feel even smaller. Exiting the elevator into the hallway with your luggage was a trick! Especially with several people at the elevator doors, with their bags, waiting for their chance to ride the dinosaur. Once we made it into our room, we see that the bathroom is unbelievably small. A closet essentially. So small that the sink is actually located in the entrance, and not the bathroom itself. Makes for a weird set up. The tub had small rust marks on the bottom, and often the mechanism to switch from shower to tub, would stick halfway. My next concern was that we found pieces of red liquorice and other bits on the floor and in the carpet, presumably from a previous guest, and I started having my doubts about the cleanliness of the room. Last but not least, I was super disappointed with my sleep. Usually the best part of a hotel is the fluffy, cloud like sleep due to big, comfortable beds with plush thick white comforters! That's usually my ultimate reasoning for shelling out +$135 a night... this one was far from ideal. There was no comforter. At all. There was a sheet, and then a somewhat thicker sheet. Even in a chilly place like Truro, Nova Scotia in the fall, they didn't have real blankets. It was cold, despite fiddling with the air system. The bed was adequately soft, but very noisy, and also very small for a queen. I highly suspect it was a double... but at least we could huddle for warmth under our sad thin sheet... Almost forgot to mention that the free wifi was useless and struggled to provide simple web browsing let alone any movie streaming or gaming. I used my phone's data connection the entire stay, but had to be careful where I was in the hotel room to even achieve a phone signal. I was always wavering on 1 bar of service. Cherry on top of our stay. I would absolutely pass on the opportunity to stay here again. Very overpriced for the location, (lack of) quality and hospitality. Huge waste of money and a damper on our trip. I am shocked that Holiday Inn would have their name on a location so poor. read more

Fantastic place. Staff is friendly. Prices are good. Games room was disappointing. But Everything else was pretty fantastic and clean.

Good for an overnight stay. Nice front desk staff. Very busy when we got there. Very noisy, so very kid friendly, or so it appeared Rooms were adequate and seemed clean. Bathrooms were TINY. Sink outside of bathroom. Recommend having breakfast in town, very cute places. read more

While visiting NS on August 30th, we stopped at the Holiday Inn in Truro for the night. The first thing we noticed was the hair on the bathroom floor and in the tub. We took a towel from the rack and wiped those up. The bed were clean and comfortable.....in the morning when we opened the blinds, we saw how filthy the room was. There was two inches of dust on every piece of furniture in the room. We wrote `dust me`on the fridge, microwave and TV stand. When we checked out, we told the girl and the desk and she apologized and even got us a free breakfast...........the staff is extremely nice, even the chef came to our table to make sure everything was OK. We always stay at a Holiday Inn whenever we travel and this was the first time we were not happy with the room. We received an e-mail from the hotel the next day to check out how our stay was and we wrote a review, which they refused to print.........they said we had mentioned the competition..........which we did not do. We re-wrote another review and it was also refused............Looks like if you could not say everything was perfect, we should not write anything at all!.....Guess we cannot write how thing are really like, we have to sugar coat it in order to get it printed. read more
