Is no longer a hotel
This is not an active hotel. Remove from site. I booked this hotel online. A couple hours before check-in time, I received a phone call - said from hotel, asked what time I was checking in, was very sketch, then said they had a flood at hotel and so were sending me elsewhere - ended up staying at Hampton Inn down the road. So before heading to Hampton, I drove to this hotel to see what was up. Looks kind of run down, no cars in parking, homeless guy out front. I start talking to him and he tells me the place is a shelter for homeless now, no longer run as a hotel! Why do they still have it on hotel sites for booking???

Unfortunately we were able to book this hotel without any notification that it has been transformed into a shelter. We were not made aware until arrived and one of the shelter staff informed us. We were then told to go to the Hampton Inn and suites, which did not have a room for us. Finally we were transferred to a room across town and made it into bed after midnight. Not an acceptable experience.

Get ready to pay a lot for not much.
The check in employee was, dismissive, rude and unhelpful when we couldn't find any handicapped parking for my husband. She thought "maybe" if we walked around the back there might be more spots. Lots and lots of "member parking", however. Our reservation was changed to Hilton Hampton Suites because of renovations happening at Holiday Inn and we were to get a comparable room. It was dingy. The bathroom had no fan and was awfully tiny, awful bathtub for a very tiny person only, beds incredibly soft (that's good for some, I guess). For $350 for a night, we got not much, poor service.

I booked a room at the Holiday Inn - Guelph and arrived to the hotel feeling very uncomfortable and unsafe. There were several groups of “shady” looking people in the parking lot and others in front of the building were smoking drugs. The lobby was dirty and looked like it was non-operationable. I was greeted by 2 friendly volunteers that asked if they could help me and I told them I wanted to check-in (although at this point I was really wanting to turn around and leave and find another place to stay). They said this hotel is a homeless shelter and all customer Holiday Inn reservations are being honored at the Hampton Inn and Suites a few kms away. So I walked quickly back to my car and drove to the Hampton Inn and Suites. It took a while for the nice lady to find my reservation but I was relieved when she finally did. Nice room, comfortable bed and an awesome hot breakfast. But this review is not for Hampton Inn and Suites - it’s for the Holiday Inn. Why are you accepting reservations and then redirecting people? Why make me walk through that “shady” parking lot and into the homeless shelter lobby?

The Holiday Inn ended up having a maintenance issue with our room several hours before our check-in time. They called and rebooked us with plenty of advance notice at the nearby Hampton. The young man at the front desk was so welcoming to our family. We had a great stay and felt well taken care of.
