Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites CLARINGTON - BOWMANVILLE by IHG

We got a suite for just $10 extra because we have CAA, and it was a beautiful, spacious room. There was an issue with some guests in the pool area, so they took $100 off our stay. We were totally shocked they offered that and really grateful. The staff were helpful and friendly, and we’ll stay at the Holiday Inn in Bowmanville again.

I’ve stayed here three or four times, often because Whitby or Oshawa is full when people are travelling for sports, though there are plenty of other reasons to come. When nearby towns have no vacancies, the hotel may add surge pricing, so the room can cost more than you expect. Parking and breakfast are free, and the bright, clean dining area is large with lots of choices beyond a continental breakfast. My room on the sixth floor was clean and quieter with nobody above us. I didn’t use the pool, but it looked fine, as did the exercise room. There was plenty of hot water, and the bathroom could use a little maintenance, though nothing that made me regret staying. I slept well. What more can you ask for?

The staff really made the stay for us. They were cheerful, friendly, and treated us like family. My little dude felt great afterward and is already planning another trip here. We got a good price, liked the breakfast options, had fun in the pool, and found the room clean. Thanks, everyone.

I’d stayed at another hotel in the area before and had a good experience, but this place was even better. It’s a bit dated, though very clean, and you can tell they take pride in that. The staff were kind and went above and beyond when I had a migraine. They checked on me and brought water and Advil because I had none and nowhere to get any on New Year’s, even with a child with me. Breakfast had plenty of options too, including a pancake machine.
