Holiday Inn review

Best location in Markham, close to hwy 404. Free parking, plenty of parking lots.

 

Front desk staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. I was looking for water fountain to refill my water bottle. The gentleman at the front desk helped me to refill my bottle from the fountain at his office. The front desk staff greeted us and made us felt like home every time we passed by the front desk.

 

We used the swimming pool twice during our 4 day stay. The pool was not supervised as noted. We brought life jacket and water gun for our 5 year old. We loved the pool. The lighting was a bit dim in the evening. The lighting was ok in the morning, thanks to the daylight from the windows.

 

The WiFi internet was free, but it was slow. I only checked emails and used Google Maps to check for directions, it took a while for web pages to load. It was like 10x slower compared to our stay in the Quality Inn in Mississauga after our stay in Holiday Inn.

 

The house keeping is a bit late everyday. Our room was not serviced when we returned after 3pm. We didn't have much choice but requested to skip the service so that we could rest in our room on our last night.

 

On our last day, the house keeping lady knocked our door waking us up at 8:25am to check when we are leaving. I opened the door with my PJ and my eyes half closed. I guess she wanted to arrange her schedule to service the room.

 

In general, we enjoyed our stay in this hotel.
