Money Spent Well
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/8/06
I just got back from a weekend away at the Holiday Inn Mid-Town located in the heart of downtown Montreal and I had a great time. Before booking a room at the Holiday Inn I read some reviews about the hotel itself to get a better understanding of where I was staying, but the reviews only made me more nervous than anything. When reading some of the reviews you would assume that the hotel was the worst hotel in Montreal, in reality it is an amazing place for the money you spend. The hotel was beautiful, the check in/out was very fast, the elevators were prompt, the rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, the hotel staff was very friendly and the location was perfect. A lot of people simply like to complain about small things, which lead me to believe that they are the same type of people that pay for a 'Holiday Inn' and expect the 'Ritz Carleton'. I am the type of person that reads reviews before doing anything because I like to know what awaits me, but in this case I wish I hadn't. The bad reviews about this hotel are simply statements written by people whose expectations are much too high and all I can say to them is, 'next time pay $350.00 a night and save your useless complaining for something else'; to everyone else, the Holiday Inn is a great place to stay for the money you're paying. I can't wait to go back next year.
