Holiday Inn Express Corning Hotel - Page 1

My daughter lives in the area and this hotel is very convenient. The bed is very comfortable. The service is the best. I feel very safe. This is important as I usually visit alone.

This hotel made me feel relaxed: The bed is very comfortable. They have coffee in the room and snacks down the hall. I enjoyed reading my book by the fountain.

We had to make reservations in Corning, 20 miles and 20 minutes south of Red Bluff, as all the decent hotels and motels in Red Bluff were sold out for a weekend volleyball tournament.

The hotel is off a major truck stop exit, so it's easy to find. I had heard about noise on one side of the hotel, due to trucks coming off of the off-ramp, and the smell of cigarette smoke on the top floor, but I had a perfect time there.

My room was very clean, the lobby was clean, the desk staff was friendly, the breakfast and cookies were wonderful, and the surroundings were safe enough.

I was on the top floor in a non-smoking room, but did not notice any cigarette odor in the floor's hallway. Also my room was away from the freeway, and I had no problems with truck noise.

Though they don't have wifi in the rooms, they do have free Internet and I was able to get a short Ethernet cable loaned to me, for free, to use my laptop.

Be careful if you're with kids. There are no well-lit or overtly marked crosswalks to get from the hotel to any of the random diners around.

We ate at a surf 'n turf buffet that was definitely not that appetizing. We should've just eaten at a McDonald's or other fast-food chain.

I had to have the key redone every time I wanted to enter the room.

For some unknown reason this Holiday Inn Express is built on a very heavily used truck stop off-ramp. All night long are noisy Jake-Brakes puffing their noise. If noise is on a scale of 1-10, I would say the freeway side of this hotel is a 9.5. All of the suites are on the noisy side!

Make sure to get the not freeway side! The cold breakfast is good, and the price is just OK for the room. Their internet connection does no work! They have no idea how to fix it and I am working remotely so it leaves me with trying to get pay-for-wireless from the TA truck stop but it gets a lousy signal. The hotel offered to pay for it, though.
