Top Alpena Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Alpena - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room. Very comfortable bed. Quiet neighborhood when we stayed on a Saturday night over Halloween. Very friendly and helpful staff from the front desk to the maid service and breakfast bar. My only disappointment was no bacon at the breakfast bar but the turkey sausage and Spanish omelette were very good."

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful little piece of paradise! This cabin was everything we hoped for and more. We came to Alpena for a very meaningful weekend, and it was exactly the peaceful getaway we needed.The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed to feel right at home with our fur babies. The views were absolutely breathtaking! From waking up to the sound of waves crashing along the shoreline to enjoying gorgeous sunrises, sunsets, and incredible stargazing at night, it was truly a special place to unwind and recharge.The owners were wonderful hosts! They checked in to make sure we were comfortable and even offered flexibility with early check-in and late checkout, which we really appreciated.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We made beautiful memories during our stay and would absolutely love to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing escape along Lake Huron!"
