Basic hotel. The lounge and dining area are one and the same. Breakfast was nothing to shout about. The room was comfortable but pretty standard fare. Incredibly, they didn't have a lift to the 2nd floor. That wouldn't have bothered me much ordinarily, except this time, I was travelling with a broken foot. In this day and age, surely, that... More

My husband had some work to do in Dyden so I tagged along. I booked the HIE due to their reputation. I wasn't disappointed.The staff were all very friendly. Check in was 3pm. We were quite early, 12:00, but our room had been cleaned so we were able to check in then. The location was great (on the main highway).... More

I have been through Dryden many times this is first time at the Holiday Inn. When I tried to make a reservation I phoned directly to the hotel. They did not answer the phone nor did a answering machine cut in. I made a reservation through the 800 number. The room is clean but very cramped. There is one chair... More

Nice and clean (the interior decorator should seek other employment though - yellowish walls and cielings !!) The staff are to be commended especialy the housekeepers and the breakfast lady. And I mean breakfast - no stale donut and coffee in this pl;ace - full on breakfest. More

What a great place to stay! We stopped on our way through Northern Ontario, and didn't have any reservations. We had also stopped in and checked the price of the Best Western down the road. The Holiday Inn was cheaper, and included breakfast, which made it an even better deal. Upon check in, which was at 7:30 in the evening,... More

Stayed here for one night using Priority Points. Check in was quick and efficient - we even checked in a little early and our room was ready - nice. Beds were extremely comfortable. Breakfast was also good - omlettes, sausages, pancakes, cereal, porridge, toast, muffins, yogurts, coffee & juices. Didn't use the pool or whirlpool, but they also appeared nice... More

As others have noted, there are not too many newer chain hotels at this quality level in small-town Northern Ontario and it's a welcome sight after a long day on the road. Expect to pay a premium for this luxury, though! Internet worked great for me, I even got a strong signal from the parking lot. Breakfast was excellent, with... More

We booked our stay on points. The front desk clerk was very friendly, and gave us free water because we are Priority Club members. This is nothing special: anyone can join. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, but I could not believe how worn out our mattress was, particularly for such a new looking hotel. A hard ridge around... More

My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Dryden when he had to go there for his job. We stayed one night. The property is only three or four years old, I think, and the decor is quite modern compared to most hotels/motels that I've seen. There was a granite (I think it was granite) vanity in... More
