Holiday Inn Express Windsor Waterfront, an IHG Hotel (Windsor, Canada)

If you’re someone who enjoys pounding the pavement then you’ll love staying here as this hotel is literally just a few steps from both the Detroit River walk and Windsor's Main Street. If you enjoy a flutter then you'll enjoy having the Caesars Windsor casino within easy strolling distance too!

It is fair to say that you don’t necessarily expect to be greeted by dramatic vistas when you book a budget hotel. That doesn’t apply here though as the views of the Detroit River - and the iconic Detroit cityscape on the other side - are nothing short of stunning.

A great many guests have identified the beds within the accommodations as being particularly worthy of praise. Just as well really as you’re bound to feel pretty tuckered out after all that walking...

Many visitors have been left disgruntled by the somewhat dated nature of the guest accommodations. Dirty carpets, mouldy windows (and showers), and stapled wallpaper are just some of the gripes reported on an all-too frequent basis.

If you’re in a rush then you may want to take the stairs rather than use the lifts as the ones in operation here seem to be delayed much of the time...

As well as being far too small, the hotel’s car park operates on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis, even though most visitors have to pay to use it. How can a hotel justify charging its guests for a service that they may not even get to use because it’s so limited..?
