Holiday Inn Express & Suites Green Bay East

We stayed here for the first time in October. My cousin was getting married. Since its October, its football season. Well Green Bay is a small town and on game days the hotels are usually completely booked. Luckily my cousin set up wedding rooms at this hotel months before. When we made our reservation, we were guaranteed the wedding price for all nights but Saturday. We were told this price could change based on whether there was a game at home or away. Unfortunately, the game was at home, so the price for that one night went up almost 200 dollars. Despite that, it was still one of the cheapest prices in the area. Its a small town and hotels are few.
This hotel, we were told was new, only open about a year or two. It still seemed like new. The rooms were really big and very nice. My husband and I had a standard room. Two queen size beds, TV, desk, and a bathroom. We also had a mini fridge and microwave. My parents got a larger room, a suite, so they had the same but also a living room area with a second TV. Everyone who worked there was friendly and welcoming, always saying good morning or hello.
They have an indoor pool, a gym, which my husband used everyday and washing machines.
The hotel includes free breakfast which was small but there was something for everyone. They had cereal, different hot foods such as eggs and sausage, a machine that made pancakes (it was pretty cool) and bagels and muffins. They also had yogurt and hard boiled eggs. It was a really nice breakfast.
If you plan on going to Green Bay, probably for a football game, and you definitely should, I would definitely recommend checking out this hotel. It was really quiet and clean. I think we have our new place to stay when we visit our family.

Talk about poor customer service! Chicago O’Hare closed down due to weather the day I was flying into Green Bay. My connection was there and while I made it to Chicago, all outbound flights to WI were cancelled. No big deal… I figured I would drive. I called my travel company and was informed all rental cars at O’Hare were booked. So I was stuck in Chicago. It was before 6pm when they called Holiday Inn to let them know I was stranded in Chicago and would not be there until the next day (I was planning to stay 2 nights at Holiday Inn). They said they would have to charge me as a no show that first night (I thought this was harsh, considering it was out of my control… and before 6pm), but that I could talk to Robert, the manager, when I got there the next day. Upon arriving at this Holiday Inn in Green Bay, I was told they tried calling me but since I didn’t answer, they canceled my room. It’s hard to answer a phone when you’re on an airplane, flying to try to get to the hotel… not to mention when the phone number they said they called is not your number. So if you’re looking for a hotel with staff who are looking to cancel your room at any chance so they can book it to someone else, this is your place. If you want a hotel with any resemblance of good customer service, I’d look somewhere else!

You can hear everything through the walls. Lucky for us, the gentleman next door LOVES to play his TV ALL NIGHT… I didn’t get any sleep. I asked for help at the front desk and was told that it would be taken care of. Nothing was done. We stayed in the King Suite, yet it was the smallest suite we’ve ever had. The pool as tiny. The kicker, we had to park next door in another parking lot. Gee — what a fun visit. So glad that we booked two nights here — please tell me that sarcasm translates to type.
Over-​priced.
Quite dirty for a ‘new’ hotel (doors to rooms were battered/​scuffed), carpets need to be replaced.
There are A LOT of better hotels in the area — go there!

My boyfriend and I stayed here when we came to visit my parents because the house was packed, and this place is awesome. The beds here are crazy comfortable, like 5 star hotel comfortable. The rooms are nice and large (I’m a space weirdo when staying in a hotel, I don’t like feeling squished into a sardine can). Very, very clean. The room, the hallway, the entrance, the pool, I was very happy.
And their breakfast… yum! Hotel breakfasts can be sort of eh, but I was really happy with the amount of fruit and muffins and drinks and waffles offered. If the occasion calls for it, I would stay here again!

My family and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights on a recent vacation, and we found the place to be very pleasant. Holiday Inn Express is a brand that we stay at frequently, and this hotel was of better quality than most other hotels in this brand.
The décor was quite modern, and the room was furnished with a microwave and refrigerator. There was even some even some paper plates and plastic silverware stocked in the room, so we could have dinner there if we had decided to.
The front desk staff was very helpful in a number of areas. We had asked where to watch the local July 4^th fireworks show, and the front desk representative gave us directions to a couple of places where we would have a good view of the show.
The breakfast was good. The same quality and variety you would expect from HI Express.
My daughter enjoyed the pool area, which was in very good condition.

I am becoming increasingly accustomed to fancier hotels. However, you can’t always stay at a fancy hotel, and in the case of this Holiday Inn Express, for what I expected for the class of hotel booked, this hotel was pretty awesome.
The front desk staff was very friendly and very helpful. I was able to get a free toothbrush and toothpaste that I had forgotten. The inside of the hotel and rooms was modern, with really cool doors to the guest rooms.
The room itself (double queen) was spacious. Fridge and microwave were really nice to have. As one of the other reviewers said, the beds were one of the most comfortable I’ve slept on at a hotel. The pillows were of two different firmness (and labeled via the pillowcases!), which I thought was pretty cool. Bathroom was spacious, with granite counter, and nice single use shampoo/​conditioner. Air conditioner kept room very cool.
I would definitely stay here again when in Green Bay. I didn’t get to try the Plae Bistro across the way (which supposedly delivers to the hotel) because they were closed for the fourth of July, but their menu looked great.
I didn’t use the breakfast or pool, so can’t comment on those.

Great hotel. Very clean and very comfortable beds. Would definitely stay there again. Staff was courteous and helpful.

Seems a bit older than the other Holiday Inn Expresses I’ve been to – despite this being built relatively recently, it is already showing some signs of age (perhaps not the best physical maintenance — it seemed more run down than the other HIE’s I’ve seen).
Staff were friendly, and the free breakfasts in the morning start nice and early and include an above-​average selection of breakfast items.
Their workout room had a weird thing where the lights were off and there was no lightswitch to be found. ?Maybe they shut the lights off late in the day to «close» that area — not sure, didn’t push the issue further at the front desk.
The only major negative is its location. If it matters to you: be aware that this is not a downtown location and there’s little interesting that you can walk to in the neighborhood immediately surrounding the hotel.
Another Unilocaler described this in an earlier review (about 6 months ago) as being in the ‘middle of strip mall construction hell’ — and I can vouch that hasn’t changed significantly since that time.
To explore the best touristy things Green Bay has to offer, bring a car.
Wifi was also inconsistent during our visit, their router appeared to crash/​lose internet connection multiple times during our stay, as we were able to connect successfully to their network but there was no internet access.
Water pressure? Unusually weak. Not sure why, it wasn’t an issue of the time of day, etc. The shower/​bath was functional but the shower itself was very weak and the bathtub would have taken a loooooong time to fill…
Despite all of these odd quirks, it’s still clean, safe and relatively comfortable — I’d still consider staying here again the next time we’re in Green Bay.

Great hotel very nice whirlpool and pool. I loved the beds some of the best I’ve slept on In a hotel, and the rooms where clean and had a great shower. Would defiantly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great location, right next to Plae Bistro great food by the way. The best holiday inn in Green Bay.

I stayed here with my family over the Thanksgiving weekend. It’s a brand spanking new Holiday Inn. I would stay here again.
PRO:
Swimming pool for kids. Small 5′ non lap play pool with a basketball hoop. Remember how amazing it was to smell of chlorine on family vacation? Six cousins could not have been happier. For the toddlers, there’s a sprinkler with a frog slide. For the grownups there is a hot tub. Full of kids.
Gym. Small but clean with working earphone ports. They let my tween workout. Mucho happiness.
Breakfast. OK, they have a machine that makes pancakes to order when you push a button. How vacation amazing is that? Also fresh yogurt, limited fruit, boxed eh eggs, midwest sausage patties, lots of juice and not horrible coffee. Clean, supplied and generous.
Beds. They’ve adopted the W hotel style linens. Totally comfy.
Service. Everyone was really nice and responsive.
CON:
The view. Seriously in the middle of strip mall construction hell. If you put the view of the dirt plot with construction debris in a film, they would tell you it was too heavy handed. Not so Wisconsin lovely

Very clean and super comfortable. Everything you should expect from a HIE. I would definitely stay here again.

New, clean, and comfortable. What else can you ask for?
