Holiday Inn Compliment - Holiday Inn Express & Suites Montrose CO - Lodging

Lodging - Compliment
Review by Alain on 2011-09-10
MONTROSE, COLORADO -- We stayed at this Holiday Inn August 31/September 1, 2011 in one of their mini-suites and found the whole experience to be excellent. When I first called them they didn't have a regular room with a queen or king bed so they gave us an upgrade to a mini-suite for the same price since I was a member of their Priority Club (they probably would have done it without the Club membership, I suspect). The price was $135, not including taxes and this was a bit less than I had expected. The hotel was clean; the staff was very friendly and helpful; they had ample parking and the room was well equipped with a large desk, couch and comfortable bed. We arrived early, but they had no problem checking us in without a wait. They also gave us a voucher for a free drink at the bar for that evening and let us know that there would be a barbeque for the guests that night. The barbeque had hamburgers, bratwurst, chicken breasts, potato salad, cup cakes, a chocolate devilsfood cake, chips, sauerkraut, a variety of sodas (pop), and a few other things I can't remember because I was sort of busy pigging out (the food was fresh and quite delicious). The staff waited on the guests and continually kept the area clean. All the guests were extremely pleased (particularly since the bartender was not only very sociable, but she also made really strong drinks!) The whole atmosphere of this hotel was one of cheerfulness, contentment and general good feelings. The hotel is covenient to Gunnison National Park (about 25 minutes away--well worth seeing, by the way!) and Telluride Ski Area (around an hour depending on conditions and whether you pay attention to the speed limit or not). A very fun experience! We really enjoyed our stay and will most probably visit again!

When I was traveling 24/7 I used Holiday Inn a lot. I could count on them to be clean and seldom overpriced. I had a loyalty card with them but decided to drop it when I realized they used your SSN as the account ID. They probably don't do that anymore but I seldom travel for biz anymore. I let the young bucks fight the airports and rental car agencies now.

Nice review!

Your right, OT, they no longer use a Social Security number for an ID anymore. I try not to fight airport & other crowds anymore. We just arrive very early and read in the cattle pen until the flight is boarded!
