About this place Holiday Inn Express & Suites West Edmonton-Mall Area by IHG

Holiday Inn Express & Suites West Edmonton-Mall Area is a mainstream chain hotel at 18520 100 Avenue NW, about 10 km west of downtown and a short drive from West Edmonton Mall. It is not a gay venue. Google reviewers rate it 4.5 from about 1,100 reviews. It makes sense if the mall is the reason for your trip. Downtown, where the city's gay bars are, is roughly 20 minutes away by car, so this isn't the best base for a night out.

The room itself was spacious, clean, and had a nice, large bathroom. The room had good air conditioning and sunshades that actually block out the sun unlike many hotels. Around the rim of the toilet was the only part of the room that wasn’t clean when we arrived. It was nice being so close to the mall. The major issues we had with this hotel was the payment and billing. Upon arrival they pre authorized my credit card for the full room stay amount of about $800 which is standard practice and we expected. The day before we checked out, which I didn’t know until after checkout, they put through another pre authorization for over $550 plus an actual charge of $250. The day of checkout they slipped a receipt under our door showing the room was paid in full, so we just dropped the keys off in the drop box and left. About half an hour after we checked out I received a call from the hotel and they claimed my credit card hadn’t gone through. I was confused by this and asked how that is possible if they pre authorized the card. They informed me that for whatever reason they had released the pre authorization after the third business day of our stay. Having worked in a hotel for over 6 years I have absolutely no idea why they would possibly release a pre authorization. We drove back to the hotel to try to settle the bill and they presented us with a bill for $500 since apparently they charged my card for a third time for $250. When I arrived at the hotel I checked my card and saw that there was over $1300 of pre authorization charges still pending on my card and since the card has a low limit they had almost maxed it out. We waited an hour while they tried to figure out what had gone wrong with the billing and we never really got an actual answer as to what went wrong. I informed them we still had to drive back to Regina from Edmonton that day and we wouldn’t be waiting around any longer. I told them they can wait until the pre authorization funds are released and then charge my card. They said they would charge it the next day on Friday, but I asked them to wait until Monday to allow a few days for the funds to come back. They seemed to have ignored my request and charged the card again on Sunday instead. Thankfully the first pre authorization had been refunded by then. Now they have overcharged my card by an extra $100, I’m assuming they forgot to take off the damage deposit when they charged my card again a day before I asked them to. Edit: We spoke with the general manager Shirley, she was apologetic and helpful. She resolved the billing issues and apologized, and explained the situation.

Clean room, nice service, and great location (close to the mall). The receptionist was really nice and let us check in 4 hours in advance without any additional fees!
