Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Longmont, an IHG Hotel

Good staff, clean, kids loved the pool.

We picked this hotel for the pool and kiddie pool. The kiddie pool didn't work at all the 3 days we stayed. The chlorine was so heavy in the big pool you could actually feel it in your lungs when you walked in. Our 8 year old actually asked to go to the room early because of coughing. There was a guy checking things and kept putting hoses into the pool I'm guessing too thin out the chlorine. If they do a little work on the pool area I'd give 5 stars across the board. The staff was super friendly.

I brought my kids here to enjoy the pool and slide for spring break. The kiddie pool was drained, so we couldn’t use it. The big pool and slide were operational. However, the chlorine fumes were HORRIBLE. Our eyes were burning and everyone using the pool were coughing non-stop. Staff told us that it was a machine that chlorinated the pool automatically. It did seem to be ok every few hours and then the fumes would get bad again. So we would try to time our swimming around when it wasn’t as noticeable. Staff opened doors to give some ventilation but it made the lobby full of fumes. When other guests were checking in they were already complaining their eyes were burning. I’m not one to complain, so we decided to not swim anymore. But then my son and his friend went down to check to see if the fumes were bad and maybe try it again, it was still horrible so they came out of the pool complaining with a group of other children who had been swimming. Then a staff member named Barrett told the kids their reaction to the over chlorination was a “personal issue”. I couldn’t believe he had the audacity to suggest that because some may not have a strong reaction to the chlorine that it didn’t matter if others did. He was condescending, argumentative, and extremely rude. While other staff the previous day and that morning had been very apologetic and turned the slide off, which seemed to help the fume issue. We left that evening due to how Barrett handled the situation.

Very kid friendly

The water slide was a big hit for my kids.

Hotel has some strange odors. Happened across several people that did not seem to have a room in the hotel. One person was sleeping in the stairwell surrounded by belongings. Overall did not feel secure which was important traveling with young children.

Loved our two-room suite, just perfect for me and my three adult children. Pool was great for swimming laps and we all enjoyed the breakfast. The beds were very comfortable.

The pool area was pretty old and a bit dirty. The large slide was closed and the small slide was not in great shape either. It did look like they were in the process of remodeling the pool. The area was really nice though and this location was really convenient to hiking trails in Boulder and playground for kids.

**Pool may be closing as of June 3 for renovations!** I have such mixed feelings about this hotel. The pool area was mostly great with a super fun slide and a shallow area for little kids. However the steps to get to the slide were completely covered in rust and a section of the handrail was missed and covered in duct tape. The frog slide in the little kid section was worn and showing it’s age. Also a part of the side where I think the water intake is was missing which isn’t great with littles. The pool was warm so that was a plus. Hopefully they are renovating the slide/pool area to deal with the rust and other things because that would help a lot. Our room both looked like they tried to do some updates but just didn’t follow through in all of it. There were places in the wall where they had clearly patched something but didn’t repaint it to match the rest of the wall. There were hooks for a large picture but it was missing. The tile in the bathroom still had the measurements written on it. And it was okay with cleanliness. Our beds and the room were clean but there was hair in the shower. So it was a mixed bag. My daughter loved the pool and slide but we felt a little icky about some of the others.

The kids loved the indoor water slide. They also offer a dedicated kiddie pool and hot tub. The rooms were clean and ready when we arrived. Breakfast was well stocked and the tables were cleaned often and ready for guests. Lots of great food options nearby.
