Holiday Lodge Appleton

The hotel had just been bought by new owners and then the Tornado hit Appleton, so some damage to the hotel. The new owners are trying very hard to get it back to be rentable. Close to Mall and lots of restaurants and freeway.

Room was clean upon arrival. Didn’t receive room service during our 4 day stay. The drain was very slow in the sink and the toilet paper dispenser was busted. The fan in the bathroom was very loud.

Horrible room service, and the clincher was they have a bed bug infestation that I discovered by bites all over me and confirmed via internet—the reports are all over the internet, this was Aug 6-13, 2026. They didn’t confirm or deny, wouldn’t give me a refund and haven’t refunded my deposit. I reported all this to the county health department. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. I had to to urgent care got dxd w cellulitis from the bites and was put on a 7 day antibiotic course

unfortunately it was in a shoddy part of town. Meaning industrial park. After you get past the outside decor you enter and it’s not too bad. Very friendly and no issues. Our room was clean, fridge was turned on , and it was clean cool and comfortable!

Hotel was closed, phone was disconnected. There was no way to get a refund.

I booked a room for two nights for my daughter who was working at a concert down the road when she arrived there, they said they were overbooked and didn’t have a room. I had confirmation number and I was charged. I’m still working on getting my money back. This Begs the question why is there a confirmation number? You can’t honor the reservation, extremely useless adventure, into this corrupt hotel industry

The staff was very nice and helpful, but, this facility is old and will need a lot of work. I would not stay here again.

Overall our room was comfortable and clean. Convenient location with many restaurants nearby.

Was trying to communicate with property manager and wasn't able to call, due to phones being down, Messaged through Hotels.com and was told the lines were down, asked if everything was still functioning, not reply, This was done on 7/29. on 7/30 I messaged again got a reply your reservation is still good. Messaged 7/31 early morning confirming things were still good. Then a little after 3pm got a message that due to property damage the hotel is still closed. Very upset due to the fact that I knew a bad storm had gone through and was double checking things and nothing was communicated that it was going to be closed until we had already left to head to the hotel. Very poor communication. Do I have sympathy for the hotel with having damage yes. My concern was why wasn't I notified sooner. We did drive past the hotel and to see the damages and yes I understand it was very badly damaged, if you want customers to stay or come back communication is very key. I am still waiting for the refund to my account.

Do not book here. The hotel was closed when I arrived for check-in. Locked, unstaffed, and unresponsive to calls, with just a few lights on. I had to find another place to stay, and they have refused to refund me.

Hotel was closed, I received no notifications that the hotel was closed

The property was damaged by recent storms in the area. I received no notification from the property. There was no signage at the property to indicate they are closed. My card was still charged for the stay. I am sorry for the weather related misfortune but the owners did absolutely nothing to indicate the closure and still charged me even though they had five days to do a little something about it.

I stayed 7 nights and my room was not cleaned even once. Please see photos. A/C was not on in the main area. If you are expecting a good breakfast---please choose another place.

The hotel smelled worse the deeper we traveled. The bathtub was full of mold we refused to use it. The pool was closed.

Clean the rooms and walls, breakfast is a joke, coffee watered down, not good!

A DIRTY ROTTEN TRICK TO BE PULLED ON US AT 12:30 AM IN THE MORNING WITH NO PLACE TO GO LIKE THE OTHER 7-PEOPLE IN THE HOTEL LOBBY. ALL HOTELS IN AREA WERE COMPLETELY SOLD OUT BECAUSE OF THE EAA AIR SHOW IN OSHKOSH, WI. YOU NEED TO REMOVE THEM FROM YOUR HOTEL LISTINGS IN APPLETON, WI ASAP!

You get what you pay for. I knew that going in with Airventure airshow all hotels were 3-4 times minimum what they normally charge. Some hotels jacked their prices, this place was nominal.

Our booking was through expedia for 1 King Bed Non-Smoking bedroom but we were only assigned to queen bed bedroom and I would not consider this place non-smoking at all. The entire place smells like Cigarette. I generally do not write reviews but for this one I felt like doing so. I hope whoever decides to stay at this place read my feedback and decide accordingly.

Very kind front desk employee who was very concerned about my stay. I couldn’t have had a better experience.
