Holiday Inn Express & Suites Donegal

We stopped here after visiting family in Pittsburgh. It’s very clean and the hotel has a nice woodsy décor.
Cons: beds are a tad hard to my tastes and the bathroom fan is LOUD. Like a jet airplane.
Pros: Clean, friendly staff and an actual real BREAKFAST!!! I couldn’t believe it. Eggs, bacon (hooray!) cereal and great tea and coffee. God willing we will stay here again.

Family was recently on way to vacation in MD from Cleveland. Unfortunately we blew the transmission on the van in an unfamiliar part of PA. Ended up having to hold up family of 7 for a night while we made other plans for transportation.
Thankfully the holiday inn in Donegal was where we ended up. The staff was amazing, helping make the best out of a bad situation. Got a couple of rooms, including a free suite upgrade. Amy, one of the great front desk staff, even gave us a ride to a nearby restaurant, as we did not have a vehicle, and walking in the area is hazardous due to traffic.
Hotel was decorated very nicely for the holidays. Everything was clean and well maintained. Pool and hot tub gave us a distraction from the ruined family get away. Staff was very friendly and took great care of us. Breakfast in the morning was outstanding. I truly thank all of the staff we dealt with during our stay. I used to be a Marriott only traveler, but past couple of experiences at Holiday Inn’s have changed that.

What a surprise. Just happened upon this place late at night on a road trip. Staff was really friendly. The rooms were clean. The place felt completely safe. The breakfast that’s is included it actually pretty good. Full hot breakfast including eggs, sausage, pancakes. Along with the usual cereals, milks, juices, and breads.
Recommend for your overnight stay when on the road.

The staff are excellent. The room was spotless. The pool was warm and clean. Cannot remember staying at a better hotel.

I stayed here one night while out of town for a wedding. We got a good block room price, and were pleased with the size, quality and *cleanliness* of our room. The queen bed was very comfortable, there was a large TV with plenty of stations, and a spotless bathroom. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, and the complimentary breakfast had a variety of food range from eggs and sausage to cereal and bagels. I would recommend this hotel.

5 stars across the board! Superclean, décor updated, staff friendly and helpful, great free breakfasts. Loved every minute of our stay. Pool area nice and clean as well!

Pleasantly surprised by the quaint character of the hotel. Breakfast was plentiful and good, even tough we arrived late. They had a fun pancake maker that you could even use at night. Staff was friendly and room was very clean. There was even a refrigerator in the room. We would definitely recommend the place.

Unbelievable hotel. Great hotel, great rooms, great food. Will stay here whenever in the area. Great rates as well.

Pros:
–Rooms are very clean.
–The pool and hot tub are clean and perfect temperature.
–The free breakfast is hot, tasty, and very plentiful.
–The lobby décor is awesome!
–Fun promotions.
–A LOT of TV stations

Cons:

Overall a very positive experience. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

My husband booked this hotel for us and our son on a one night getaway. What a special treat! Clean hotel, friendly staff, and indoor pool and hot tub. Good view of the mountains. Go to «Out of the fire café» for dinner. A BYOB place that has wouderful food. We were here in July so I can’t comment on ski location but if I have the chance, I would stay here again. The staff makes you feel like family and soooo at home.

This is a fairly new place. Cool décor, country and wildlife– nice rooms with attention to details. Good view nice amenities and breakfast. Excellent staff. Pool closes early. But it was good. Nice and highly recommend.

This is the place to stay if you are in the area. Definitely the nicest roadside hotel I have ever been to. Rooms are SO clean, which is my #1 priority. But the overall atmosphere feels like a lodge, and there is a lovely pool/​hot tub, nice warm breakfast, nice pillows, and good shower pressure. Someone really takes good care of this place. I will come back next time I’m passing through!

This is one of the best Holiday Inn’s I have ever stayed at. The vibe of the hotel is like that of a cabin, with crazy taxidermies in the lobby. The quality of the furniture is very upscale, the bathrooms are impeccable, and the staff very friendly. An amazing find.

Hotel was clean, comfortable, and convenient to our destinations of Ohiopyle State Park and Fallingwater House. Décor was rustic and gave it a slightly less sterile feel than chain hotels generally have. Price was fair. There was some hallway noise somewhat early in the morning that I would have rather not heard, but that’s just a matter of other guests not keeping their voices down. Breakfast ended early for us (10am), but we made sure to make it down in time since it was included with the room price and there was plenty to choose from, including packaged yogurt, fresh apples/​bananas, cereal, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, bagels, danish, coffee, juices, etc. Eggs were of questionable appearance, so I didn’t try them. There was sausage and biscuits with sausage gravy that were pretty good.
We arrived very late night (1am) but had no trouble checking in. Staff were all very friendly. The pool area and jacuzzi looked nice, but we didn’t get a chance to use them.
The bathroom in the room had one little weird issue which was that the only light for the bathroom automatically turned on the fan, and the fan sounded like a helicopter flying over. Would be nicer if the two had separate switches so that the noise wasn’t always present in the bathroom.
Overall, nice stay and recommended if you need a place to sleep comfortably while in the area.

The staff was friendly, and the rooms were spotless in this new hotel. My wife and I won their daily «guest of the day» award and were upgraded to a jacuzzi room!
So why only 4 stars? The quality of the breakfast food was really lacking. the eggs especially.
But I would still recommend this hotel for its clean rooms, good prices, friendly staff, and indoor pool and hot tub.
Dining options in Donegal are quite limited, but the front desk staff provided us with some good options and the manager gave me he phone number and told us to call him if we got lost. (Not needed as Donegal is a small town.)
PA folk is friendly folk! They took nice care of us Ohioans!

I would highly recommend staying here. We came for a wedding and the hotel staff were awesome.
Very friendly & helpful staff, clean. Big rooms, and reasonably priced. If you’re on the fence, book it. You won’t be disappointed.

Nothing fancy, but clean, inexpensive and comfy beds. Breakfast was pretty good and the kids loved the pancake machine. There is a pool that we did not take advantage of since we arrived late at night. Staff was friendly. Lots of mildly creepy taxidermied animals, but hey, maybe you are into that sort of thing. We would definitely stay there again on our next drive through Pennsylvania.

Clean & comfortable stay at a reasonable price. We arrived pretty late at night (around 11 PM) and had no trouble checking in (made a reservation online with our AAA discount the night before). We had a room on the 1^st floor — no noise from above but some noise from the hallway. I will say that I did catch that odd smell in our room, but I think it’s a cleaning product, nothing sinister. Breakfast was as expected. The welcome gift for our rewards membership was a nice surprise after having missed dinner.
I think it’s a bit expensive for a Holiday Inn Express, but alas, there’s not a lot in the area. It is one of the nicest ones as far as ambience, though.

Excellent service and probably the nicest Holiday Inn express we’ve ever stayed in for sure. The front staff were superb.

We got a employee discount that made the basic guest room ~$ 80, and there’s just nothing bad I can say about it for that price. Otherwise, I’d give it 4 – 4.5 stars based on the standard $ 125/​night rate.
Minor quibbles: elevator apparently overheats when the hotel is busy, forcing you to use the stairs… didn’t happen to us, but there was a sign up, and I’m not sure if that’s fixable or not; automatic pancake maker was too slow to even be useful; only fruits were apples and bananas for breakfast (but the rest of the food was surprisingly good!)…that’s about it. Room was clean and adequately spacious, there were carryout pizza and small food options that the front desk will provide you, and it even had a small fridge.
