Summary: Family friendly and convenient location. The Holiday Inn Alpena is close to restaurants and the local parks and is in the heart of Downtown Alpena. The room amenities are basic and meet the daily needs. Shampoo and soaps were all Dove products. One area I would like to see improvement is the beds. They are medium firm yet left me with a back ache. The top blankets are duvet and it’s shifts in your sleep. The hot breakfast was nice and met all our needs for our family of 6. The food staff worked hard to ensure items stayed stocked. The employees we interacted with were very friendly and helpful.

Summary: Daytime manager demeanor is off-putting. I reserved a 2 night weekend stay. Upon check-in, I asked to cancel the second night. The evening clerk said that I would need to contact Hotels.com to do this as that is how I reserved my stay. I did so and they contacted the hotel and issued me a refund. The next am, when I turned in my keys, I was confronted by the manager saying I was still registered for the second night. I explained that I had cancelled via Hotels.com as instructed the evening before. I also showed her the emails from Hotels.com showing that the cancellation was done and a refund issued. She kept saying, “but in our system you are still here for another night. I explained that I’d done what I was asked to do by the evening check in host and couldn’t explain why it was still in their system, particularly with th the confirmation and returned partial payment. She then said, “ well, good luck with that “ as though she doubted my effort to cancel would be successful. Normally, I wouldn’t care about a conversation like this but with several family members living in the area and many relatives who have come into town for funerals recently, this manager’s unprofessional behavior and dismissive approach are reaching legendary status. It’s a shame because the hotel is very new, nice and serves a good breakfast

Summary: This is right on the river and very convenient to downtown shops and restaurants. I would stay here again!

Denise May 16, 2025 10:19:11 PM
Summary: We had a lovely weekend. However, the family above us had small children. The children ran wild, even after we complained. It was like a herd of elephants romping above us until after 10 pm at night. The walls are very thin in the hotel. Otherwise, the stay was fine. Thank you.

Summary: Nice hotel in an undiscovered resort town in eastern Michigan. Nice places to visit with lots to see and do in an up and coming town for tourism.
