Holiday Inn Express & Suites WOODSTOCK SOUTH by IHG

Good!!!

My room smelled like sewage periodically. I think it would waft up out of the floor drain in the bathroom. Other than that, it was great. The kids loved the waterslide

Good location near chain restaurants and highway 401. Easy to get to, parking, and quick access to a variety of food options. Hotel itself is what you would expect for Holiday Inn Express: pretty clean, reasonably good breakfast and coffee, friendly staff. The pool situation, however, is atrocious. Absolutely tiny, even for little kids. Despite not being mentioned on ******* listing or the hotel website, kids have to be 48" tall to ride the waterslide. No mention of this until you get into the pool area! When the waterslide is on, basically the entire pool gets dedicated to that, rendering the remainder effectively useless. If pool is an important factor in your decision making of where to stay, pick a different hotel!

Overall we had an excellent stay. The rooms were very clean and spacious. Very friendly front desk staff and breakfast staff. Our only complaint was the lifeguard at the pool was very rude and grumpy with all the children. Looked like he didn't want to be at his job.

Not a place to bring a family, business travel would be fine but not a family orientated property.

The property is good, the staff is exceptional and the breakfast is solid. But, the EV chargers don’t work and that was part of the reason why I booked this property. You need to scan a QR code to start them, and rhe QR codes are all bleached out by the sun.
