Holiday Inn Express & Suites Amite

The place is adequate, nothing special, nothing bad. Its clean, bedding is good, internet is fast. Problems I had are the vending machines were out of order and the single elevator was really slow. For what they charge I expected better. Problem is they're one of two hotels in town and I guess they can charge whatever they want.

This hotel is overpriced for the semi-remodeled accommodations. There's one uncomfortable, spindly chair in the room, the tub was chipped in several places, and the one elevator that serves the hotel is tiny and unnervingly squeaky. Worst yet, while I was at the pool (which has no bathroom and the only one available down the hall was locked), a hotel staff member rummaged through my things. I had hung my "busy" sign on the door, but it seems they took that as a sign I was out. They took a bottle of hydrocodone from my meds bag, took the pills, and threw the empty bottle in the top of my purse. When I tried to report it, the manager was not in and the desk person's response was "Housekeeping says no, they don't recall it." Will report to the manager directly. Done with HIE!

Room was ok...Very overpriced for scenic Amite Louisiana. Breakfast was good as well...My issue is with this 250.00 hold then the room charge of 238..And then they take the room charge out so the hold on my card is like almost 700.00 bucks. This is an old, outdated way of doing business when you're paying with a major CC.My visit was on 10/15/2022.I won't stay here again because of this ridicules charge and the overcharging of the room.

I love it here. everything is so clean. I don't know why they have so many bad reviews. This place is great. I will definitely stay here again. The front desk Clerk I think her name is Jackie is very nice and made me fill right at home. She also had some good recommendations for dinner that night.

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night for a wedding at The Greenery at the Berry Barn. We booked a couple months before at the wedding block rates. Upon arrival,we were over charged $45 and on top of that a $250 damage deposit. The woman checking us in said that the wedding couple did not have 10 rooms booked and so we were charged regular rate. The hotel was packed. If this was true, the hotel should have contacted us since they had all of our contact info. I said I didn't care to stay here for that price and would drive home after the wedding. She said it didn't matter because I still would be charged since I didn't cancel 24 hours before. There was no manager at the hotel. I have a copy of the RSVP and a copy of what we were charged. I have contacted IHG several times being told the manager would call me and he never did. I even stayed in hold a few times while IHG tried to get a manager on the phone. He will not even call his parent company back. My daughter got married a couple of years ago and I would have been mortified if the hotels we used did this to our guests. If they did this to everyone that night, they pocketed thousands. This hotel ruined our night. Shame on IHG for allowing their name on the sign.

I stayed at this hotel because I was attending a wedding at a local venue. After the wedding we went out with family and friends so I didn't return to the room until 1:30am. When I arrived back to my room my key card didn't work. I went downstairs to have it reprogrammed and the desk clerk told me that she took my stuff out the room because I checked into the wrong room. She kept questioning me as though I did something wrong. She went into my room while I was at the wedding and packed all of my stuff which, at this point, was behind the counter. I just could not understand why this was happening because I only checked into the room that they assigned to me. She was very rude and ugly to me for no reason at all. After all that commotion in the middle of the night she gave me the same room key for the same room....which again made absolutely no sense in the 1st place. By this time its 2am and I have to go unpack my suitcase again in the same room. She threw everything in my suitcase together so some of my toiletries leaked onto my oufit I was planning to wear the next day. The next morning I found out they also did that to someone else. I personally think they are doing this just as an excuse to enter your room and dig through your stuff.

We stayed here for a local event in Amite. The price seemed a bit high but it is the only decent hotel in town so we did not have much of a choice. I guess the owner counts on that. The pool was closed so our kids were disappointed. Another guest noted the pool was closed the last time he was here. I guess the owner pretends there is a maintenance issue to save costs by keeping the pool closed. WHen we checked in they added a 250 dollar hold for incidentals which I cannot recall every happening at any Holiday Inn at which I have stayed. They also did not recognize me as an IHG member. SHAME ON IHG fo allowing this owner to stay under this brand.

The rate already seemed a bit high for a Holiday Inn that was not full off of interstate in a rural area but I stayed anyway. When we checked in I noted the total was nearly $500. They put a $250 hold for "incidentals". I stayed at a Hotel Indigo in Downtown Los Angeles and they did not have the chutzpah to put such an amount.

Pool, exercise room and breakfast are still closed "because of Covid".Prices doubled because of hurricane. I feel sorry for the good employees hear because they get the complaints the owner deserves. As one who spend 50% or more of my nights in hotels, this is the first IHG property I have been in since March that is not fully open, and I have stayed in a lot of them.I have stayed in this hotel ever since it was built and they have doubled the prices since the hurricane, hurting those of us who are here to help the local people. The locals are victims of a hurricane. Those who come to this hotel are victims of an owner scalping workers and withholding amenities to save money. Hope someone builds a nice new hotel here and treats people fairly. This property is showing its age and evidently the owners don't want to spend money. One of only 5 negative reviews I have written and probably hundreds of good ones.
