We have really enjoyed our stay at the holiday inn. My husband and I decided to stay in Chico as we…read morewere getting ready for the birth of our third child. We were having to go back-and-forth to the hospital for induction reasons..
When I called to make a reservation, whoever I spoke to was very kind and accommodating, and was able to get a King standard room on top floor and a quiet area so we could all get lots of good rest.
The room.. very large. We were quite impressed with the layout, thoughtful design and how large the room was. We've been in plenty of hotels, and this is the first time I've ever seen a standard room as big as this one.
The staff overall was really nice and accommodating. Some went above and beyond while others just did their job and that's fine too.
Breakfast... It was really nice to have it available especially because we had to get up early each morning to head to the hospital. I do wish consistency was a little bit better. The first morning we had scrambled eggs, which were not the best and I didn't care about the potatoes. They didn't have much flavor. But the bacon (1st day) was good and the cinnamon rolls were good and so were the pancakes. I also liked that they had lots of other options. If you didn't care for the hot options, they had fresh fruit, milk, and juice, oatmeal, bagels, and muffins, etc.
They had coffee, hot chocolate, apple cider, and tea, ready to go
The second day was a little bit puzzling, but I enjoyed breakfast better. I preferred their cheese omelette, turkey, sausage, hash, brown, and biscuits and gravy on the second day . The other interesting part was the bacon on the second day was very different than the bacon on the first day. I think if there was more consistency with quality than I think customers Would appreciate it .
Cinnamon rolls are pretty good though!
They offer laundry services so bring quarters and they offer detergent in their little shop. They also have a pool and a gym.
Overall, the hotel was really quiet inside and outside, even though you're by lots of other building buildings. There are plenty of places to walk to and go eat and there's a major grocery store next-door.
Our hotel room had refrigerator and microwave. Everything looked clean and very updated as it is a new hotel.
The biggest takeaways from me was the size of the room in the layout, some of the breakfast items, and some of the staff were very accommodating.
The only Con I really had was the inconsistency with breakfast and the quality. But for not having to pay for breakfast, I thought it was a good deal.
