Very noisy with street noise and annoying car alarms late evening and early morning. Nice breakfast. Cleaning schedule only weekly was annoying and build up of garbage and lack of clean linen irritating. They said “upon request” but no one ever answered the phone at housekeeping. The one day they did, they still never came. Parking was easy.

Always a clean and welcoming stay. We don’t stay anywhere else but the Holiday Inn by IHG. It’s always clean, the staff is always lovely, and the breakfast is convenient and filling. This particular location was no different than the rest. It was quiet, comfortable, convenient, clean, and a relaxing stay. We stayed two days but we always want to stay even longer. Sometimes I think I could vacation just to stay in one of these hotels. We appreciate and love the Holiday Inn! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This place was horrible. Bathroom had leaks, refrigerator leaked all over the floor and then shut off. I paid for a balcony and there wasnt a balcony to be had, the bed was very squeaky, every time you moved a muscle my husband was wide awake, the door had a gap that bugs could get in. The shower door would not stay closed. The floor was sqishy. The only thing that worked well was the air conditioner. Breakfast was cold cereal and toast. Im not trusting expedia again.

We stayed here because mom was having brain surgery at the local Kaoser. The rooms were clean and quiet. The daily breakfast had many options and unlimited coffee throughout the day. Free parking! The staff was welcoming, helpful when we needed to prolong our stay, and thoughtful with handwritten notes. They are across from Harry's Hof Brau, which was a great place for dinner. Overall, we would definitely stay here again, just hope we don't have to.

Holiday Inn isn't my go to spot when it Redwood city; however, I'm not going to lie... I was surprised at how nice it was. The rooms were nice, I love that they use dove products for all your grooming needs. I didn't like the positioning of the shower head, i tried to adjust it, but it just didn't work for me. It could have just been user error. lol Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would stay again! I skipped on the breakfast only because I knew I was eating elsewhere.

Place seems a bit outdated. The leather couch in our room was tearing apart. Housekeeping put lotion in the soap dispenser. But front desk was able to give me a bar soap for that. The blinds were not opaque that if I close it during the day, I would not know it would be daytime. But when I opened them at night, the streetlight and other building lights would be very glaring as it is. next to a Wendy's and other stores. I chose this location because of the proximity to the tournament site.

The room itself was nice but the staff was not. I had one positive interaction with the staff at this location and the rest were all negative. There was also a promised full room cleaning after the third night and we never received a full room clean. The front desk also told me there was a crib charge which I later found out was not true, I don’t know what the at employee planned to do with the “crib charge” but it was very disappointing. Overall not a great experience and I would not recommend this location to anyone.

We had 2 separate reservations for 2 nights in a row. My husband checked in on Tuesday and let the staff know. They took his credit card information and processed him in. When I arrived the next day we told the staff at check in about the additional car. The guy said my husband wasn’t checked in for the day before and reprocessed him in again.
Made no sense to the both of us and another guest standing there. The keys worked.

An extra $200 hold was immediately put on our card on top of the room charge. The area ia not an ideal area. The back door of the hotel was frequently left open. As soon as we got to the 3rd floor, you could smell marijuana very strong. When we went into the room, the bench fabric was peeling off. There was also water damage by the window.
