What guests think

At Holiday Inn St-Jean-sur-Richelieu Congrès by IHG, guests praise friendly, professional staff, comfortable beds, and clean, recently refreshed rooms, plus a hot breakfast and popular Thai restaurant, but note renovation disruptions, pool closures, and occasional noise.

Many found the location convenient for highways and local attractions, with ample parking. Feedback on rooms is mixed beyond the beds: some are newly updated while others feel dated, with small or aging bathrooms and limited soundproofing. Service is warmly reviewed overall, though check-in can be slow and some policies or housekeeping frequency caught guests by surprise. Expect a comfortable, well-situated stay with lively dining, but check the status of facilities and request a quieter room if sensitive to noise.

Bien aimé notre séjour. Le seul point négatif, cest qu'à la piscine, il y a peu de chaises pour s'asseoir et déposer nos choses. Ma mère a des enjeux de santé et lorsqu'elle est sortie de la piscine, les chaises (seulement 4 en tout) étaient toutes occupées et elle n'a pas pu s'asseoir.

Pool was closed, nothing on their website. Hallway walls looked like they were flooded so they made an attempt to slap some boards over them. Toilet was pushed so far back and under a counter, if you were sitting, you HAD to lean way forward. I will say tho, the Thai restaurant was money!!!!

Je ne conseillerais pas cet hotel: su 8 ième étage les tapis ( du couloir et de chambre ) étaient écoeurants, déjà qu’on ne vois plus de tapis dans les hôtels maintenant, un seau dans le couloir recevait un tuyau sortant d’un mur, les murs ne sont pas propres, ceux de l’ascenseur aussi, ça sentait mauvais dans le couloir . Nous sentions les ressorts du matelas. Ce n’est pss une belle expérience!

The service and staff were great and spoke English which was convenient traveling from the US. The hotel is under construction so the amenities and directions inside are unclear. The website said there was a pool, but no directions inside on how to get there so we assumed it was unavailable due to construction. The room was nice, but the bathroom was pretty unclean and I actually didn't want to use the shower due to dirty footprints and hair on the tile. We had to also notify the desk upon check out that the window pull/chain was broken when we checked in (the screw was out of the wall and it was hard to us) and the alarm clock AC plug was melted from someone using it so we only used the wall outlet. Neither of these impacted our stay, but it was a little weird to be staying in a newly renovated room with these issues. It probably was the worst cleaned room I've seen in a while (dust, dirt, hair) besides the bed being quite tidy and nice. It was fine for a couple days if you're in a pinch and want a local stay, but you may need to ask for items/help or do a little touch up cleaning yourself.

Beds were comfortable. The room was clean upon arrival. The reception desk staff were friendly. The restaurant on-site is very good. On the third day, the cleaning staff refreshed the bathroom but didn't make the beds. We stayed in a room right beside the cleaning storage room. It was quite noisy in the mornings, but we were already awake, so it didn't really bother us. We could hear people outside our room clearly. I'm not sure how soundproof the rooms are.

Check-in is very slow. There was only 2 guests in front of me and I wait for 30 minutes. My check-in took more than 10 minutes. I'm not sure why! The concierge found the reservation from Expedia right away and still was very slow to get the keys. Try to arrive early if you have an appointment.

The outside needs some sprucing up.... but hey, its the inside that counts, right? lol. I would definitely stay there again.

They finally found him and i checked in, after telling him i was not impressed he basically said too bad. I would never stay at this hotel again.

When we arrived there, they informed us that they had no available room, even though we had made reservations. However, the staff member tried to find a solution for us, but with certain conditions. Eventually, they changed my room three times in five days due to overbooking. Unfortunately, the last room they provided was located next to a mechanical room with lots noise, the last night I did not even go there, I went to my friends house
