How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?
Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Holiday Inn below.
Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.
That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.

What are the hours and when should I call?
Holiday Inn operates the call center for this 800-465-4329 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 294 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Holiday Inn call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Holiday Inn phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Holiday Inn staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Holiday Inn is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 92% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 294 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

What Should You Do If You Have an Unsuccessful Call with Holiday Inn?
Sometimes, calls to Holiday Inn customer service don't go as you wish they would have. If you get off the phone with a customer service representative and feel as though your concerns were not appropriately addressed, don't fret. You may still be able to get your questions answered or your issues resolved.
First, review the notes that you took during your call. The notes may contain information that points to an area of misunderstanding or miscommunication between you and the customer service agent.
Next, call Holiday Inn customer service back. Politely note that this is your second call and that your initial conversation did not get your issues resolved. The next customer service agent that you speak to may have more training or experience and be in a better position to address your needs.
If a second call does not do the trick, try getting in touch with Holiday Inn using a different method. Holiday Inn offers the option of contacting through its online virtual assistant as well as its social media platforms. Both options provide you with a transcript of your communications, which could be useful if you have to escalate your case.
In situations where these options don't work, you could also try other routes of communication. If you reserved your room through a travel agent or third-party booking agency, you might try contacting them and asking if they are willing to advocate on your behalf.
