    The location I didn't like that they don't accept dogs and that breakfast isn't included; you have to pay for breakfast, and I find it very expensive. It was unpleasant stepping on the carpet; there was a nail, and one of my children hurt his foot when he stepped on it.

    This is an older hotel, but it is clean, well maintained, our room was updated and the staff were incredibly helpful and nice. Our room wasn't ready on time so they comped us a couple of drinks even though we weren't upset. The bar has a decent selection, the bartender was friendly and knowleagable. The parking is free, which is rare as you get closer to downtown Austin. Nice location for walking along the small lake or renting a kayak on the weekends. Our 2nd stay here and we'll be back.

    May be the location is the best thing The air conditioning is very weak some of the stuff was really rude attempt to help us with a very poker face and also was rude and very uncooperative when we wanted to receive a package we ordered from amazon. The body lotion was empty from day one never filled the whole stay and the house keeping lady speaks only Mexican she doesn’t understand English was super hard to communicate with her.

    austin is my place! since I moved to California, I regularly visit twice a year and always stay in this hotel next to the river, I love water ( I’m an island girl) but, this time I was in room 630. It was very very Bad! it needs a Serious Renovations! From the carpet to the wallpaper , furniture’s and appliances are all outdated all the way to the curtain! Holiday Inn, you need to do an action immediately or else you’re gonna get a big penalty tickets from The Hotel Room Style Police! That’s it! I’m coming again soon to visit so ,be prepared!

    Took my family(4) to Austin for the 4th of July. The room was on the 6th floor facing the lake and fireworks. Absolutely gorgeous. My wife and kids loved it. We were close (2 minutes) from the lake and walking path. 5-6 minutes from great restaurants and shops on Rainey St. Looking forward to probably doing the same thing next 4th of July. Staff was very helpful.

Took stars off because our ac didn’t work…in the middle of summer. The room never got below 78 and by the time we noticed it was late and the kids were sleeping so we had to just deal with it.

    Bathroom was a little dated, and I wish you could have a bath with a decent level of water, but besides that it’s a practical bathroom. I enjoyed that the hotel has options of secure and non-secure onsite parking. Next to a highway wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, made it easier to access it. It’s right next to the river which is a short walk away and it was close to some pubs and eating spots.

    Average holiday inn with top notch location on town lake right off i35. Downtown skyline views and Town Lake and Roy Butler park trail access. The swimming pool overlooks the lake, great view. 15 minute walk to see the bat colony that come out to eat every night at dusk. The bat colony lives under a bridge along the park trail. Canoe & bike rentals very close. Close to downtown, bike trails have access to parks and some downtown drinking & dinning. Electric scooter rentals everywhere along streets. I brought my own bike and had a great hour and a half morning ride! Austin has a outdoor health & fitness life style that is incredible! After the ride I had the breakfast buffet witch was great after a long fitness ride. Had time to clean up and make my business event at the close by Palmer Event Center by noon.

When i told front desk they did nothing about it. So i took a cold shower. The pictures of website does not match the property.

I don't remember that from our previous stay. Great breakfast, friendly folks....the only little bit of a downside is getting in and out of the place is a bit tricky until you get the lay of the land. We will be back. The price is fair....and good.
