Holiday Inn Hammond

All I have to say is AMAZING dinner! Very sweet bar tender and great stay! Clean room and nice staff. Little more money but worth it!

I wanted to be very impressed with this hotel but that just wasn’t the case. The check in was painless and the person working the desk was very helpful and friendly. However, once I arrived in my room, I noticed a dirty coffee cup sitting on the table, coffee tray trash still on the tray, and open/​used shampoo in the bathroom. Obviously this room had a very poor cleaning before my arrival. The front desk took care of the issue quickly though. Then, in the middle of the night, the fire alarm started going off. I realize that is not the hotels fault but it just added to my irritation. This morning I went to make a cup of coffee only to find there was also a used coffee pack in the maker.
Pro:
Good location
Friendly staff
Comfortable bed
Good military discount
Very good food in on site dining
Hot showers with good pressure
Con:
Questionable cleaning
Not worth full price room cost
Overall:
I would stay here again but only because of the very good military discount. Had I paid full price and found my room like I did, I would have been extremely upset.

You don’t see Holiday Inns much anymore, just their Holiday Inn Express cousins…
This Holiday Inn was great value for the money. The on site restaurant had some amazing food. The rooms were clean and smelled fresh.
I will definitely stay here when on my next meeting in Hammond.

I rather enjoyed my stay here at Holiday Inn Northshore. My room was clean, had adequate supplies, coffee, towels, temperature, but I did notice that it is a bit noisier that other places. I could hear the people upstairs from me pounding/​plodding across their room all night and morning. The bed was comfortable, pillows were good as well. I grade heavily on plenty of hot water in the morning too — so that was definitely a plus! The lobby has a modern look and feel to it and the staff is helpful and friendly. They were very accommodating when we needed to check in early because we had a business meeting to prepare for.

The hotel appears to have been renov recently. Bed, linens, pillows all adequate. All pillows in room were fiberfill, and thou they had tags for soft and firm there wasn’t any difference. Had mini fridge and microwave. Carpet seemed a bit musty could use a cleaning.
Bathroom was clean, plenty water pressure, and okay w exception of water. It felt like too much water softener and couldn’t feel like I rinsed clean. Like there was a film on me, even after shower.
Breakfast separate price, maybe I should have ordered off of menu. They had a buffet that was not too great. Taste meats, but scrambled eggs were a bit rubbery. Coffee was awful and tasted like it had been sitting out for over a day, it was not drinkable. Luckily the in room coffee was good when I made it with bottled water.
Lobby areas were modern and overall this is probably the best hotel in the area. Staff was all friendly.

I’m writing this from my boyfriend’s account. I have been staying here on business, and I must say, the front desk and restaurant staff was the most pleasant and helpful I have encountered. Thank you guys!!! I loved my stay with you! Special thanks to Brittney, Jake and Glennie.

I just completed a 2 night business here. On the Pro side:
Convenient location
Nice clean rooms
Friendly staff
Close to some good restaurants
Nice little lounge
Good WiFi
Good rates
Now the cons:
I should have known by looking at their address Railroad Ave. This properlty is right next to the tracks and if you are light sleeper, like me, you will awakened at least 2 times per night by train whistles
Workout area Meh… some cardio equipment crammed in a small room. Hey Holiday Inn your treadmills need to be maintained.

I was informed that the only «recommended» hotel in Hammond was the new Holiday Inn Express. Based on some previously bad experiences, I am down for recommendations. So I booked my coworker and I at this hotel. The rooms were nice and felt new. The bathrooms were a little tight, and I felt a little confined when I was trying to get ready in the morning, and the pillows were small, which I didn’t like, but otherwise I was a happy camper. The people at the front desk were very nice and helpful, and the Wi-​Fi seemed to work well. I did not see a pool, but I did not really explore that much, so I may have just missed it. I heard that the bar was the happening place, but I didn’t see anyone at it. They did not have a free breakfast selection, but that is ok since I don’t generally get to partake in the breakfasts anyway. The hotel is off the main road behind essentially a strip mall, and there is not a lot of immediate parking. The area doesn’t seem to have much going on, but there was a Target nearby, which always makes me happy. Is that weird? They had a selection of snacks for purchase, and there were some fast food restaurants nearby. Hammond is a small city, and I didn’t see a lot going on, but I was happy to have a place to stay that I wasn’t afraid was going to have creatures attacking me during the night. The only downside was that my wake up call never happened, but my phone and the in-​room alarm clock were both sufficient. I would definitely stay at this Holiday Inn Express again.
