Review from Melissa T.
I really like this Holiday Inn Express (and I've stayed at lots of 'em).
Yes, this location is a suburb of Vancouver (you will need to drive 20 mins to get downtown) but we were driving in and wanted to find a safe location with free parking, an indoor pool and a good deal. This fit the bill, and then some. All the hotels we priced downtown were at least 30% more expensive, had far less amenities, no/paid parking and were in questionable neighborhoods. I think to stay downtown, you have to be willing to shell out the big bucks to stay in a nicer hotel -- or give up a lot of amenities.
Anyhow--
Upon check in I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had upgraded us into a king suite for free (since I'm a rewards club member, I guess). This greatly elevated the value for the moderate price paid. This room was MASSIVE and the ceiling was insanely high and gorgeous. It was way nicer than any other member of this chain I've ever stayed in. The king size bed was very nice, there were two huge flat-screen tv's, a very nice bathroom (with a large shower and good water pressure - hurrah!), a living room with a pull-out sofa and all decor/fixtures were very updated. This location was only built a couple years ago, so that probably helps.
I was also pretty happy with the indoor pool and spa. Both were open til 11pm, kept warm and there was a changing area and towels right off the entrance. This gets big points from me.
The complimentary breakfast was the best of any hotel we've stayed at recently. It's actual food you'd want to eat at home, and the menu changes daily. My boyfriend was especially impressed with some sort of robotic pancake making machine they have.
To top it all off, the service was excellent and went above and beyond what was expected. All staff members were very kind and accommodating, the housekeeping did an excellent job every day and we were quite happy with our stay. -

I was very impressed with the quality of this hotel. It was new, comfortable, and clean. The desk staff was friendly and helpful. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is due to the breakfast. Usually, I don't think breakfast matters much, but it was really poor (stale cereal, terrible tasting processed egg product, etc).

Researched hotels in the Vancouver area and decided upon the Holiday Inn Express Riverport as it was newly built in 2008 , offerend free parking, and offered an ever changing free breakfast spread. My bf and I stayed here for 2 nights and first morning, they offered scrambled egg patty and sausage, with the standard, bagels, toast, yogurt, cereal, juices, oatmeal and warm cinnamon buns. The 2nd morning, they offerend cheese omelets and bacon instead of the scrambled eggs and sausage. Variety was good.
The rooms were modern, clean and comfy. The room had a mini fridge for our use and microwave. The shower was large and had a sliding glass door rather than the standard tub with curtain. The water pressure was just right...not too strong and not too weak.
The hotel also offered a business center with 2 computers and we used it to do more vacay research online as well as early check in at the airport back in Seattle. Was very convenient. Also, the hotel offered a pool, whirlpool and an exercise room with various machines. It would been nice if they had free weights instead of the weight machine, but it will do.
The only weak point about the hotel is the location as it seems to be random (next to a movie plex and hockey rink in a residential area). It is about a block or 2 from the freeway so it is freeway convenient to the 99. Wish there were more stores around to walk to.
