Holiday Inn Express & Suites Petoskey

This was my second year spending a 7-night stay here. The views from the Valley View side, the back of the hotel, are amazing with forested rolling hills. I hear no street noise at all staying in a Valley View room, even though the hotel is on a major highway. In addition to all the amenities listed on the site, there are other things to appreciate about the rooms in this hotel: ceiling fans, excellent lighting, disposable liners in the wastebaskets, Dove soap, shampoo and conditioner, free Showtime channels on TV, a lighted magnifying mirror in the bathroom. I love the fridge, microwave and Keurig coffeemaker in each room. Cookies appear in the lobby each afternoon and bottled water is always available. If I could change two things, it would be new flooring and mattresses. The plusses far outweigh those two negatives. I've already booked my reservation for next year! The hardworking staff will do everything in their power to make your stay comfortable, and the manager, Marjorie, genuinely cares and worked a small miracle to solve an out-of-the-ordinary problem during my stay.

Staff at check in was friendly, engaging and helpful. I appreciate the available washer and dryer since we were at the end of our trip. Be sure to have quarters ready. I had to purchase quarters at the front desk but it wasn’t a problem at all. The pool area was spacious and looked clean even though we didn’t partake. Enjoyed having a ceiling fan in our room. Request a room in the back of the building for a view of the valley. Bottled water and fruit are available throughout the day for travelers. Cookies were available in the evening but we wanted to get ice cream at Kilwin’s. Breakfast options are plentiful from sausage, eggs, warm cinnamon rolls to yogurt and cold cereal. We appreciate the details here!

Amazing room and hotel. Our huge room had a fireplace and jacuzzi in addition to a balcony, large bathroom, bed, sofa, full-size refrigerator, and microwave, Free bottled water was readily available. Breakfast was full of varied offerings and surely enough to suit the picky eater. Very nice hotel. Staff super friendly. A limousine is available to take/retrieve guests to/from downtown.

The only thing disappointing was the balcony lights. Too bright for sitting out on in the evening.

Very beautiful

They have a complimentary limo that will bring you around town. Amazing
