This property is about 35 minutes from Pinnacles National Park, our main reason for staying here. The hotel looks newly renovated and the room is clean, with a comfortable bed. We found a few dining options right in downtown Hollister; we really enjoyed Cosmos Bar and Grill! Also appreciate the free breakfast buffet at the hotel and the complimentary 24 hour coffee:tea station.

Mini fridge needs to go
Good expirience. I would reccommend them to replace the mini fridge to a less noisy one. I had to unplug it in order to sleep.

Very disappointed
We had a great start to our stay but then my mom slipped and fell in the tub. There were so mats or safety grips on the tub floor. I was already concerned due to the shower curtain not containing the water (it was all over the floor, and I had to mop it up). I had to call 911 to help get my 90yo mom up. When I told the front desk I may need a later checkout (I explained what was happening) she informed me we would be charged. Mom was taken out by ambulance. Thankfully we didn’t need to have a late check out. Very disappointed in their professionalism. She didn’t even inquire as to my mom’s conduction when we left. Had the tub been non slip we would have had a chance to enjoy our trip to visit friends. Now, we are leaving the ER and headed home. Do better Holiday Inn!

Will not return to this hotel
I booked this hotel because they have a pool, but the heater was not working and the water was so cold that nobody could comfortably use it. The shower in our room broke twice during our stay so we ended up taking 'sponge baths'. Breakfast was OK. Room could be more clean. Staff were helpful, but this hotel had too many problems to overlook.
