- DSDanny SmithJan 6, 20264.0Me and the wife go there sometimes just to get away from the house. I travel a lot so I stay in them things pretty regularly, but that one is super nice specially for the price and people are awesome. Couldn’t ask for a better group of people. If you’re in this area, you need to try that place out it’s it’s nice.
- MHMary Lou HeadDec 15, 20255.0Made our trip to Pell City better! Will remember the Ladies forever. Thank you
- JCjim canterDec 7, 20255.0So there are other hotels that charge a few more dollars , but we have found them to be lacking in so many ways. This holiday inn express in Pell city Alabama was exceptional. Clean and fresh.. Cheaper than others. When traveling through Alabama , I will definitely be staying here again.
- GHGreg HancheyNov 19, 20255.0Words cannot express how grateful I am for Ms. Wendy and her staff! They were the best of the best during, and long before our stay. I'll not elaborate, but despite the obstacles and shortcomings on our behalf, Ms. Wendy went above and beyond to accommodate our small group. It was evident that she truly cares about her customers and her staff. We stayed 2 nights, November 14-15, 2025 and everything was great. All staff members were very cordial and helpful. If I'm ever back in the area and need accommodations, I know exactly, without hesitation, where I'll be booking!
- SSSteven St. SauverOct 1, 20251.0No signs about parking trucks. If you are of the working class, don't stay here. Parking lot pretty empty, my truck and another co workers trucks parked for 2 hours before the idiot at the front desk called and threatened to tow. I could have seen this if there was a parking crisis, BUT THE WHOLE BACK AND SIDE LOT WERE EMPTY! No signs posted, nothing, and it doesn't make sense to park at Cracker Barrel or Walmart WHEN THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPEN SPACES! Rooms are okay, but if you want to chill out after a 14 hour work day and watch a little TV it ain't happening here, the direct tv service is as bad as the hotel staff. Update: came out the next morning and NO ONE PARKED WHERE I WAS, and someone in a truck/trailer taking up more spaces than I was is parked on the lot so definitely NO NEED TO BOTHER ME ON MY OFF TIME IF THE "POLICY" that's NOT POSTED ISN'T ENFORCED EQUALLY! ***Response from hotel is B.S. on the way out finally saw a sign on a pole that can't be seen after dark, but doesn't have a "policy" plus there was a truck parked next to it. Stop lying, the lot was not full and the staff was not respectfull when demanding we move, my co-worker was as equally disrespected, we have stayed at hundreds of IHG properties where parking is a real issue, had the hotel been full we would have asked where to park and if there was an issue it shouldn't have taken 2 hours for the demanding threat of a tow, which good luck towing this. Had I wanted to be unprofessional I would have dropped my outriggers, lifted the truck off the ground and good luck towing that. A professional would respond to this complaint buy maybe updating their signage, not blaming the customer for their staff not paying attention and waiting 2 hours to threaten them. Apparently the reviews on this property about management are 100% accurate and only 1 star at best!
