Holiday Resort Guam

Holiday Resort, Guam - ok, decent, has a buffet

This hotel is ok. It is full of many people from Korea and Japan on holiday, and the buffet food caters to them but there is usually enough variety for a westerner to enjoy also...I say ’usually’. The room was ok, good views...as to service they seem to cut corners a little, as, there were some spots on the bathroom wall which never got cleaned, but otherwise ok... obviously the hotel economizes on its toiletries but my only real complaint is the tea and coffee facility in the room was not adequate by my standard, eg., only green tea bags and sugar, I don’t recall if there was instant coffee but they really could have done better in this department. It is close to the beach. One other thing: you cannot use the stairs to exit, which personally I prefer to take the stairs whenever possible (well, you can but it takes you to the back of the building and then you can’t get back in that way; also, if you want to take the stairs from the lobby to your floor you likely can’t get into your floor from the stairwell unless someone has propped open the door. That’s all, really. You could do worse and it wasn’t bad, the hotel shop was pretty good with the variety of items available, except they didn’t take credit cards or charge to the room.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Be sure to hire a car to see the island away from the tourist circuit, this is how you will see what it is really like. Also, it was really good to go to the museum by the gate of the navy base, it gives a good overview of what Guam was like before the US Marines liberated them from the Japanese army occupation...Guam is just like being in the USA.

The pictures are better then the syat

The serivce was awful. I had to call them for every little thing.

Good access to see

Pool and see was good. The bus stop was far from the hotel.
