Holiday Inn Express - Sault Ste. Marie by IHG
An indoor pool and sauna near the International Bridge
About this stay
The sauna and indoor swimming pool are the strongest features here, backed by a well-maintained garden for a quieter moment outside the room. Rooms come with air-conditioning, private bathrooms, tea and coffee makers and free toiletries, and a 24-hour front desk along with daily housekeeping and express check-in and check-out keep the stay straightforward. The International Bridge to the United States sits about 3.3 km away, and Sault Ste. Marie Airport is roughly 18 km out, with the Mahdezewin site 7 km away and the Tower of History 8 km. A business area and laundry service round out the amenities, and an ice-skating rink is nearby for a winter outing. Free toiletries and a hairdryer are stocked in every bathroom as standard, and the whole property runs on IHG's consistent housekeeping schedule rather than a variable independent one.

Our take
This suits travellers wanting an indoor pool and sauna combination close to the border crossing, plus straightforward IHG-standard service. Couples rate the location strongly for a two-person trip. Anyone wanting a full-service restaurant on site should look at Quattro or The Water Tower Inn instead, since this focuses on efficient rooms and wellness rather than dining.
- ✓Use the indoor pool and sauna combination in the evening, both are genuinely well maintained for the price point.
- ✓Take advantage of express check-in if arriving right after crossing the International Bridge close by.
- ✓Visit the Tower of History during the stay, it sits a manageable 8 km from the hotel.
