5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012 NEW

We enjoyed our weekend and were greeted at the reception desk by friendly and professional staff. I take to task the notation that "visitor resented being called "sweetie, dear" etc. which seems to indicate that people, places and things "annoy" her as she proceeded to rip up the hotel in every area. Yes, there are areas of improvement but we... More

We travelled to Barrie with friends for a weekend away and stayed here. We are returning customers as we were very happy with our first visit. The rooms were clean and cozy and the beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the Prime Rib Buffet in the Hotel restaurant, Tattingers so we returned for the Sunday morning brunch. All the staff... More

As you approach the reception desk, be prepared to be called "hon", "dear", "sweetie", or some other equally inappropriate term. Apparently the staff here isn't aware that use of these "terms of endearment" is disrespectful, condescending, and offensive. We had the same experience in Tattinger's, the on-site restaurant, which I wouldn't recommend. The fact that it was empty at lunchtime... More

Thank you for your candid review. We have launched a new "Stay Real" program for customer service and aim to ensure appropriate and friendly service at all times. We will certainly look into your comments. Regarding the restaurant, there are sometimes quieter days especially in January, however if you look on our restaurant Tattinger's trip advisor page there are many... More

Nicely renovated throughout, except for the rooms. Even the executive suite feels 30 years old. Nice views of the 400 (sounds odd to say, but true nevertheless) 7/10 More

Thank you so much for your review and for commending the renovations throughout the hotel. In actual fact our Executive Tower guest rooms were not renovated until November of 2011, which was a couple of months after your stay. I think that you would find them much improved now. With extensive renovations it takes a bit of time to complete... More

Popped back into Barrie this past weekend to enjoy some of the skiing thats close by. The weather outside might have been cold but it certainly was warm inside the Holiday Inn. I stayed at this hotel last year but didnt have the opportunity to return to Barrie until now. The hotel still looks good and is being maintained well.... More

Thank you for your review, we are glad that you stayed at Holiday Inn Barrie. We have a great winter fun package from $55.50 per person based on double occupancy that is bookable via our website. (I don't know if you stayed with the package or got your lift tickets at the ski hills). Also thanks for mentioning about our... More

My husband was going to be turning 60 on Jan. 7, 2012 and he really wanted an old fashioned afternoon at the movies with popcorn, pop and pizza with his close friends and family. As local theatres were unable to host such an event, I approached the Holiday Inn in Barrie ON in the fall of 2011 with my idea... More

We just stayed at the Holiday Inn in Barrie for a hockey tournament and the hotel is close to restaurants and shopping but the hotel is in need of a face lift in my opinion. The rooms smell a little "musty" and some smell like smoke even in the non-smoking rooms. There is Tim Horton's, Mandarin Restaurant within walking distance... More

Thank you for your review. We are surprised about the feedback on the guest rooms as they are all newly renovated, however if you had stayed in a smoking room it may account for the smell you noted. Our rates do vary, depending on demand and the weekend you stayed was a sell out night for us however we are... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Barrie New Years Eve 2011. The front desk staff were courteous and helpful. We had a room on the 4th floor which was very clean & spacious. The amenities of fridge, microwave, coffee maker and internet access were useful and appreciated. We attended the New Years Eve celebration which included a buffet dinner (which... More

This hotel is newly renovated. I remember it from last time and it is an extensive badly needed fix. The previous decor was outdated smelled like smoke etc, so good job on bringing the hotel to the year 2000's :) There are pro's and con's beside the hiway, easy access but can be noisy with transports. Rooms are okay nothing... More
