Looking for a family getaway to the Canadian Maritimes? Maybe you’re
planning an upcoming business trip to Moncton for you and your
four-legged friend? Whether your trip is business or pleasure, look no further than the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Moncton. Befitting the city’s reputation as the “Hub of the
Maritimes”, the Holiday Inn Express Moncton offers the great
location, convenient amenities and excellent customer service
required to ensure that all of your needs will be attended to.
Conveniently located adjacent to the Trans Canada Highway and only
9km from downtown, the Holiday Inn Express Moncton’s layout offers a
welcoming, rural setting despite its centralized location. “You’re
in the city, but you feel like you’re in the countryside” comments
Paul Comeau, the hotel’s General Manager. Ideal for travellers with
pets, the 152 room low-rise hotel offers 28 drive-up units, allowing
pet owners direct outside access to their rooms instead of a maze of
corridors and elevators. In addition, the property’s 4 acres of
lawns and courtyards more than adequately meets the “green space”
requirements of travelling pet owners, giving dogs plenty of room to
get some good exercise.
Inside the hotel, guests can choose between standard rooms (1 King
Bed+Sofa Bed or 2 Queen Beds) or larger suites (the property even
offers theme-based kid suites!), although guests with pets often opt
for the ground floor units, with easy outdoor access either into the
courtyard or into the parking area. Guests with pets can get
Priority Club Pet Points at check-in, and a veterinary service is
located right up the street from the hotel. “We like to welcome our
pet guests with doggy treats too” adds Comeau. “I’m an animal lover
myself, and I carry treats with me all of the time for dogs that I
meet – I’m a virtual ‘Welcome Wagon for puppies’!”.
Beyond its outstanding pet guest service and certification with Pets
Can Stay, the Holiday Inn Express Moncton also offers ample free
parking, complimentary Express Start breakfasts, a cozy onsite
pub/restaurant, and a large indoor pool, sauna and exercise gym. In
addition to its 3.5 star rating from Canada Select, the hotel also
carries a 3.5 Green Leaf rating with the Terra Choice Green Leaf
program that reflects its environmentally conscious efforts in the
areas of energy conservation, recycling and waste reduction.
As far as access to nearby attractions are concerned, the Holiday
Inn Express Moncton is ideally located. Nearby theme parks, water
parks, Acadian villages, summer plays and golf courses (including
one that is across the street) are within 5 to 30 minutes from the
property, and sporting venues that host major events, shows and
Quebec Junior Hockey League games, such as Moncton Coliseum (Home of
the Moncton Wildcats), are within 5 to
15 minutes from the hotel. Inside the city, there are three
“pet-friendly” walking trails including nearby Mapleton Park and the
Boardwalk which runs along the river. More ambitious hiking trails
can be found in Fundy National Park (about 1 to 1.5 hrs away) and
throughout the Acadian Region. Although the local Lobster Festival
was held earlier this month, new upcoming events can be found online
at
www.gomoncton.com year-round.
So if Moncton is on your travel itinerary for you and your pet, the
Holiday Inn Express Moncton is where it’s at, as Paul and his staff
will welcome your pets with open arms. “We certainly like to go the
extra mile to make all of our guests feel welcome here. All we ask
is for guests with pets to be responsible ‘pet parents’ and to treat
their pets with respect and courtesy – nobody wants to be left alone
in a hotel room all day, especially when there are so many
activities and attractions in the area that are perfect for bringing
your dog!”.
