What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Pocatello by IHG, travelers repeatedly praise the friendly, accommodating staff, clean and comfortable rooms, generous breakfast, and scenic hilltop views with convenient freeway access, making it a reliable stop for families, road trippers, and campus visitors.

Set above town, the location is convenient to the freeway but walkable dining is limited and the steep access road can be tricky in snow. Families like the 24 hour pool and hot tub, though several guests report very cold water, strong chemical smells, or nonworking spa jets. While many find the property clean and quiet, inconsistencies crop up, including stained furnishings, occasional bathroom misses, thin walls, and intermittent plumbing or A/C noise. Overall, it suits quick, car based stays and family stopovers; plan ahead for dining and verify key amenities.

Good hotel! As my kids observed as they walked in to the room, it’s pretty! The front desk attendants were super kind and friendly! Only complaint I had was the pool was really cold and the hot tub was too hot so my 4 kids, who were really looking forward to swimming, struggled.

Liked the pretty clean room & linens. Some stains and hidden dust patches, toilet inside could have been improved, but mostly clean. Tub was very clean. Had to figure out the fridge myself. No coffee pot although advertised. Indoor pool was freezing cold. Jets on hot tub didnt work. Very thin walls. Heard EVERYTHING above us. And even across the hall and side room. But mostly running above.

The hotel is in an excellent location for accessing Pocatello downtown as well as the surrounding area. It has a great view of the valley. The pool and hot tub were both well maintained and so was the fitness center. All were available 24h as well. They have a guest laundry. Breakfast was fine. They served the same thing both days; yogurt, scrambled eggs, potato cubes, sausage links and a small assortment of carbs (cereal, bread, pastries). They had a banana the first day and an apple the second day. The service was prompt and friendly. They also had free cookies at the front desk so that was a nice touch :). I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a convenient and clean place to stay.

We stayed overnight on Saturday, October 5th for a quick weekend getaway. We were offered a room upgrade at no extra charge, which was very nice. The room was very clean and roomy. The only thing that could have been better was the pull out couch mattress. The mattress was very thin, so the springs were not cushioned at all making it uncomfortable. It worked out fine though. Also, the pool was not heated, so it was very cold to swim in. That didn’t stop the kids from having fun still. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Cannot beat the view!!! Staff was amazing! Very clean. They had TVs with a gaming system that the kids really enjoyed (my kids called Super Mario “a fun vintage game” - we felt old!) Plenty of conveniences at the bottom of the hill. Kids enjoyed the pool, but the spa wasn’t working.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My room was ok except the carpet hadn't been vacuumed and the door for adjoining rooms was unlocked ( I did lock it when I arrived). The pipes for the shower squealed, the alarm clock in the room next door started going off about 5:30am and didn't stop for almost 3 hours. I could hear the man in the next room snoring loudly. I would have preferred a room that wasn't meant for to adjoin as I was traveling alone and it made me feel slightly uncomfortable. The hotel itself is clean and easy to find all amenities. I didn't report any of my issues to the staff as I was staying only one night and didn't feel it necessary to change rooms for one night. I would suggest that the maid service check the alarm clocks when cleaning the rooms to make sure they are turned off when guests leave. I would stay again but would probably request a room without the adjoining door.

Staff was nice. Our room looked clean but there was a giant bloody bandaid in the shower that we saw as soon as we walked in the room. So gross and clearly shows the shower wasn’t cleaned after the last people were in there. Then the indoor ‘heated’ pool was frigidly cold. My kids were super bummed. So we tried the hot tub. The jets didn’t work either, but it wouldn’t have mattered anyway because it was so scalding hot you couldn’t even sit in it for more than a minute or two max. Pretty disappointing. We book hotels when we travel just for the pool to add some fun after a long days drive. This was a total fail.

My room was right by the 24 hr pool. Could hear people coming and going a lot. There was also a high pitched screeching coming from the toilet, or the wall behind the toilet and it continued all night. Would go away for a bit if the toilet was flushed. Made for a REALLY long sleepless night. The bed was also very uncomfortable. The staff were nice. But i will not be staying at this location again.

I’m surprised by the high star rating this location has. Our room had a finicky and noisy toilet (kept running. Then would empty and we had to lift lid to help it refill). They do not have a coffee machine that lets you heat your own water in the room (only meh standard hot water available downstairs. I travel with RO water). Views from dining area were gorgeous but the padded chairs have ominous stains. So I chose to stand.)

Booked and stayed in the kids suite, kids room was cute. Rooms could be a little more sound proof— I would have loved to not have my kids asking what the noise coming from next door was and having to explain they were being adults and making babies. Bathroom set up is atrocious. None of my children could reach the toilet paper from the toilet. Air conditioner / heater is outdated—if you needed to use it you then had to listen to a motor run loud enough you couldn’t talk to anyone. Pool — someone needs to look at the chlorine ratio to water. So strong your eyes burned, it was hard to see and our family immediately had skin reactions when getting in / out of the pool. Worst problem — plumbing — it screamed all night, I had to continuously get up and flush the toilet and run water in the sink for it to give a 5 minute respite.

After severeal very successful stays in the past couple of years, my sister and I will not stay in the Pocatello Holiday Inn again without checking to make sure it won’t be the home to hoards of essentially supervised high school kids. We didn’t get to sleep much before 1 any of the 3 nights we were there: kids in the halls (sitting and talking), kids in adjoining room which we heard referred to by other kids as the “party room” (even my trusty earplugs didn’t help). Despite calls to the front desk each night—where we were advised that “there were a lot if high school students in the hotel” the noise persisted. Perhaps management could put the children on the first 2 floors and save the upstairs for adults? Maybe establish quiet hours after 11. We were getting up at 530 am each day—exhausted. Definitely not the experience we had planned in.

We first stayed here for an official visit at ISU. Came back for a spring game and it was nice. I wish people would respect signs and not allow doors to slam. Had asked for no feathered items, yet we still had them. Food service was a bit slow. They were out of several things, which was a bit frustrating. I get that it was a Sunday morning, and… We will be back, I’m sure.
