Get this! I had booked this hotel for 2 wks from now by mistake; and Dave and Jasmine at rhe front desk were considerate and understanding ... Made it as least embarrassing and comfortable as possible, and we were from out of town. Thank you so much!

We were travelling from Winnipeg to Toronto and stayed overnight at the Holiday Inn Express Sault Ste Marie by IHG to rest before continuing our journey the next day. It was a pleasant stay, and the staff were very courteous. Before checking out, we enjoyed breakfast, which was excellent. Mary was especially kind, professional, and attentive, she checked in regularly with guests throughout breakfast and made the experience even better.

Rooms are good, kids enjoyed the pool. However the breakfast lady was rude, commenting “ do we base our stays here on getting breakfast “ , and talking about my family to other workers within the establishment, because of
This interaction with her it made my stay less enjoyable.
