Holiday Inn Express Corvallis-On the River, an IHG Hotel

Hidden Gem This hotel is a best kept secret and deserves a 5+! It’s clean, modern, has comfortable beds and quiet. The breakfast spread was delicious with a white egg omelette, crisp bacon, biscuits and way more. In summer, there are outdoor tables overlooking the river. The workout equipment and pool w whirlpool had lots of light and were clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Finally, we were lucky enough to get a room on the back side of the hotel and woke up to the sparkling river rolling by. Just lovely!

Worst 2 nights sleep I've ever had in a hotel, anywhere Worst 2 nights sleep I've ever had in a hotel, anywhere. The first night a DUI arrest occurred at 4 am just outside your front entrance. 6 Corvallis cop cars for one DUI. The whole process took close to an hour, very loud and lights flashing the entire time. My room was directly above the entrance. As a Silver Elite IHG Club member, why is my room on the street side directly above the entrance. A river view room should have been assigned at the very least. The second night the fire alarm went off at 12:20 for what sounded like a broken sprinkler in the parking garage? All your customers sat in the parking lot for an hour with temperatures around 40 deg F. This hotel is horribly overpriced for what is provided. Homeless camp 50 yards up river. I was charged a parking fee? I have never been charged to park at a Holiday Inn Express in any city. You are not the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. You are a Holiday Inn Express.

Corporate should revoke their brand By far the worst Holiday inn I've ever stayed at. Corporate should take their name back. 1. The rooms are nice and so is the view but my experience was so bad I will not go above 5 stars. 2. If you are anywhere near the laundry or stairs, move or ask to be refunded! They wouldn't move me and told me they "couldn't guarantee anything" when I made the request and have to return next week for work. Day 2 and haven't slept. 3. My toilet ran the entire first 2 days and I had to ask the front desk 4 times before it was fixed. 4. Despite the price being well above anywhere in the state, even Portland, upon arrival you will be informed you have to pay $10 per night to park and there is NO WHERE else to park! This is again something Ive never experienced ar any other Holiday inn ever. 5. Loud. Loud. Loud. the doors and walls are paper thin and if you have a choice to stay anywhere else, I encourage you to do so. I haven't slept and that is the point of this place. 6. There is a large homeless camp next door which really makes the unsecured parking fee annoying. 7. They say there are cameras in the lower level parking, there aren't but there is a rubbish pile and somewhere people are always smoking. 8. If you care about the trivial things or aren't convinced yet... there are 2 staff in the morning for check out and a line out the door in the evening since only 1 poor girl works after 4 pm... check in time. Or at least as far as my 3 days of being here has shown. Pancake machine was broken and rarely any cookies. No walking path. Below basic cable at 30ish channels.

Nice football weekend hotel. Spent 3 nights here. The renovations are complete and the breakfast area with deck overlooking the river is very nice. Room seemed to be updated, walk in shower (though water never got really hot ). Comfortable bed, mini fridge and microwave, coffee maker in the room, which is nice. Large screen TV was good. Room was comfortable. Elevator was a bit slow - but cool photo of OSU campus inside. We were here during a football weekend and had no trouble finding parking. Front desk staff was friendly and very helpful. Kitchen staff was friendly as well. Breakfast options were pretty decent. I'm not one who usually enjoys the "free" hotel breakfast - but it had pretty good variety and was tasty. Location - on the river which is nice. A few blocks from the main downtown area - it was easily walkable, though there is some unhoused encampments you have to walk by - just an fyi Nice touch with bottled water on check in and free cookies in the afternoon/evening. Would return here to stay if in Corvallis again.

Wait until renovations are completed- terrible stay! We have visited this hotel several times over the past years and never had any issues- this 4 day stay was full of problems/challenges. First of all the renovations which we’re supposed to be finished in June are still in full swing. The contractors blocked the stairs with materials 3 times during our stay making us take the elevator. They often block exits with their equipment. The worst issue was that their was no parking available if you returned after 8 pm. The underground area had a ton of equipment blocking parking spots . Surface lots had dumpsters, construction equipment. And there wasn’t a spot to be had. An employee moved their car so we could have a spot. This happened 2 nights in a row. Breakfast was disappointing as well no hot items - just prepackaged food to be microwaved. Also there are no room safes or a place at reception to store valuables. During the day the hotel also shut water off due to a leak for 35 minutes- with no warning. My advice stay somewhere else until renovation is complete!
