Holiday Inn Danbury

This was a great hotel and we would stay again.

The rooms are nice in this hotel, there is a comedy show at night, they charge you to get in and then tell you, you must buy 2 drinks or else you will be charged for it anyway. Is this legal?

It was o.k., clean, everything worked. AC noise was ridiculous. Location was good. Staff was o.k. breakfast was better than expected.

Overall, good.

I arrived at 10:15pm to a line four people deep with only one person at the front desk. There's a club off the lobby so there was a lot of noise and drunk people around. Parking was reduced to illegal spaces on the grass. The hotel was overbooked and there was some question as to whether our 2 rooms were ready. The front desk clerk kept his cool and was very professional even though there were lots of tired and stressed-out people in front of him. We got to our rooms 30min after arrival. The rooms were fine, what you would expect from a holiday inn. However, the radio alarm went off at 5am from whoever had stayed there before us. That was unpleasant. I appreciated the coffee and fruit basket right outside the elevator so we could grab a quick pick-me-up on our way out early the next morning. read more

This hotel is convenient to the highway. Service was pleasant but not extraordinary. Roll away bed was in room, as requested, but we had to order extra blankets. (The staff at the Holiday Inn in Hadley, MA where we stayed for the next 2 nights was altogether in a different class - professional, very friendly, bent over backwards to help. A great example of the difference a positive customer service attitude can make - even at a humble Holiday Inn). The Danbury Holiday Inn was an OK place to stay for a few hours - but I wouldn't want to be there any longer than that. The bar was loud and seemed to cater to a young crowd. I was concerned about noise at first. (I was exhausted and traveling with two autistic spectrum kids - ages 6 and 11). But the hotel rooms were far enough away that we weren't disturbed, and we all slept soundly. One semi-odd thing about this place - they pipe music out to the parking lot. I've never seen *that* in a hotel before, Also, the male staff members wear very hip 'Holiday Inn' neckties, with a nostalgia motif, This chain seems to have gone a long way in the right direction. (Note: I can't get the riff of that song "Chilling' at the Holiday Inn" out of my head whenever I stay at one. Anyone else have that problem?) read more

It's not nearly as nice as the Marriott Courtyard across the street. BUT the Lounge and the 2pm check-in time make it a winner.

This is a great hotel for families with children, as kids eat free at Holiday Inn properties. That is perfect for the Danbury Holiday Inn because their in-house restaurant, Teddy's, is absolutely fabulous! Great locale, free van pick-up from Danbury train station and to and from any area attraction within 10 miles! Awesome experience!

Best hotel value for the area. Friendly people, clean rooms, excellent breakfast.
