What guests think

Across recent reviews, Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Raton by IHG comes across as a convenient stop off I-25 with friendly staff and a frequently praised breakfast, but ongoing renovations and several maintenance issues impact the overall experience.

Multiple guests report the pool and hot tub closed, out-of-order doors and areas, and occasional safety or access frustrations during remodeling. Room cleanliness is inconsistent, with reports of stained linens, hair, musty smells, and worn bathrooms, while others found spaces very clean and comfortable. The location is easy for travelers but sits on the edge of town, with limited nearby amenities and some highway noise. Service is usually warm and helpful, though a few guests encountered rudeness or check-in mishaps. Expect a practical overnight stop with variable room quality during renovation periods.

We were on the second floor and the stairwell had a note that said it was out of order. And it was close to our door. We did like that they had sandwiches and potato salad and a little dessert when we arrive there.

We got locked into the back patio of the hotel. The 6 foot fence had a padlock on it and the door to get in hotel did not have a key pad and the door was locked. We tried to call the front desk the phone did not work found out later the phone line was knocked out from a storm the week prior. We called corporate they could not reach hotel so advised to call 911, police could not reach hotel so police came to hotel to let us back in. A real safety issue. Corporate said they would make it right but did not follow up to I had to call, they offered points, not even enough for one night anywhere.

We had no idea while booking online that the hotel was under renovations. With that, means very limited parking (which was not great for a 26’ U-Haul) and no kitchen. They passed out little red ticket stubs to exchange for a bagged breakfast (microwaveable breakfast sandwich with a piece of fruit and a drink.) The room was not very clean at all, they did not seem to even change out the bedding on the pull out couch which has something smeared across the side of it. The shower was pretty dirty looking too. The beds were TERRRRRIBLE, no exaggeration, and the only thing we enjoyed while there was Peg A at the front desk. She was funny and made check-in great for me. The worst part was that I paid online for a suite with 2 QUEEN beds. I received a standard room with only two full size beds (yes, there is a difference when you’re sleeping with a toddler between you and your spouse,) and no separate area for the people in the pull-out couch. It’s the only reason I booked this hotel while traveling. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

Upon arrival we noticed that both of the sleeping comforters had stains on them and it was obvious that they were not washed. The hotel was unkept. The business center was closed, every vending machine was out of order, the jacuzzi had yellow caution tape all over it. It is apparent that regular maintenance is not happening. This was the most expensive hotel on our trip and the worst experience

Pros: Staff at front desk was super nice. Cons: The hotel rooms were not cleaned well. I was able to get a container of disinfectants and wipe around the toilet and tub. They were black when I finished cleaning. The bed was clean and comfortable and the rest of the room was ok. Just dirt and hairs around the baseboards especially in the bathroom. Shower could use new shower curtain too. The BF was not great either. Just generic egg omelets that seemed like they were prepackaged. Overall the place was right off 70 and ultimately what you would get for $80-$90/night, but because it was a holiday weekend we paid $165 … so that was a little frustrating. Wish we could have just driven the rest of the way home.

Checked in late at night. Front desk worker was fantastic! The room had some issues but we were too tired to deal with it. Stains on the bedspread and floor, and the toilet seat was loose enough it moved a full inch, not a stable at all. Room had a stale old smell. On the flip side, the bed was cozy, the water pressure, breakfast was tasty and service workers were friendly. Didn’t feel like it was worth the amount we paid.

This hotel lives up to it's good reviews. Friendly staff, clean room. We had an accessible room as I have trouble with my hip and need handicap bars. It had a built in chaise/couch which was nice. Washer and dryer at hotel, only one set, but reasonable...worked well. Breakfast was GREAT! The pastries were under a warming light....3 brands of yogurt to choose from....4 warmers with scrambled eggs and omelettes in one, sausage patties in another, fried potatoes in another and biscuits/gravy in a 4th. All had self closing lids, so you didn't have to figure out where to set the cover and glass inserts so you could see what was inside...also crocks next to each to hold the serving utensils, so the handles didn't end up in the food. We are both gluten sensitive, so appreciate the choices we had. The rest was typical hotel food. The breakfast attendant was friendly and efficient. Just a really great experience!

the only negative about this hotel is that the downstair rooms can obviously hear everything the upstairs does. even walking the downstairs under us was beating on the ceiling saying we was loud and we was only walking in the room. the staff came and asked us to stop jumping and no one was jumping at all. not sure if it was just us and our downstairs "neighbor" was extra sensitive to sound or what, but the staff was so super friendly! no complaints from us at all! we would stay here again for sure.

Lots of things were not filled. The lobby and common areas are not updated like the rooms.

Best breakfast ever! I’ve stayed at many hotels and many Holiday Inn Express’. This is the best breakfast I’ve ever had. The biscuits were tender and moist, the sausage gravy actually has small bits of sausage. The food was fresh, bacon was crisp, the dinning room was clean. Our only disappointment was the juice seemed like it was dispensing an incorrect ratio of water to juice. It was watered down a little. But the fruit was fresh, it was hands down an excellent continental breakfast!! Kudos to the lady working it. She’s amazing.
