My son accidently left his Zune. I called The Holdiay to see if by chance it was turned in. It had been. Yes, they had it. Does not happen too often anymore. Not sure about COD's anymore so I went to the Fedex Company and paid for a Prepaid label. We faxed it down to them and within 1 week... More

I agree with the other reviews. This motel is certainly older, but they have "spiffed the place up" and my room was clean and comfortable. Heater worked great; small flat screen TV; comfortable bed. Having the restaurant there is also a plus.

This hotel is under new management and you can see the passion of new ownership as you walk through the door. They have rennovated over 75 rooms and the banquet, dining, bar, and pool areas are well kept and newly remodeled. The hot breakfast is great and the buffet dinner was wonderful as well. Most importantly, the staff are wonderful... More

The Buffet had a selection of all types of meats from Prime Rib to fried fish. The were several options in vegetables and a simple but good salad bar. The... More

We ate dinner at the Holiday Motel & Restaurant. We've eaten there once a month for four months in the past 10 months. The last time we had the buffet. The fried chicken was not hot and the there were only a few chicken thighs on the buffet. The salads were good especially the cranberry salad. Mashed potatoes were good,... More

OK...so take this hotel and put it in a major city and it would probably get 1 or 2 stars. It is old and even though it has been or is in the process of being renewed, it would never be my hotel of choice if there were a decent chain hotel around. (Yes, there is a Super 8 near... More

We have experienced the Holiday in Olney from the halcyon days of the 60s and 70s to the decline in the 90s and now the renaissance of the grand hotel in the past few years. Julie and her team have transformed what could have been fodder for the wrecking ball to a jewel for the area hosting locals and tourists... More

Spent time there over spring break. The kids loved the indoor pool. Pet friendly too! The restaurant was really good. Rooms have a fridge and microwave.

My husband and I have lived here for many years. We enjoyed the Holiday way back in the day when it was the place to be, and many of our friends and family have stayed here over the years. When it slid downward and closed up years ago, we knew we would miss it. Well, it's back! It's tons better,... More
