My room did not have a closet and therefore no hangers to use. The light fixtures in the bathroom were starting to rust through and the door to the bathroom looked like the bottom had sustained some water damage. Otherwise it was a nice room

Excellent time here, I would definitely stay here again. I loved the cookies and drinks in the lobby. Great breakfast. The room was great!

The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great. The location is fine. The lady at the front desk was polite, friendly and professional. Checking in and out was smooth and fast. There was a loud bang sound at random times that woke me up every time I finally got back to sleep. It sounded like someone was dropping refrigerators off the roof from time to time. Maybe it was the door to the parking lot banging when it closed. My room was next to the exterior door. I didn't get to sleep soundly until just before the wakeup alarm on my phone went off. I had asked for a wakeup call, but my phone was dead and no one came to knock on my door as I had asked, because the phone was broken. I was also woken up a few times by loud conversations and laughing by people walking past my room. I maybe got 3 or 4 hours of restful sleep, which is what I value the most about a hotel stay.

Everything about the hotel was great! Although I was skeptical about the location, it is gated which helped me feel more at ease. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was A+. The beds were super comfy and the room was clean and relaxing.
- 2.5/5
Experience could have been improved through ability of pre-arranging pickup time, or by adding post to Hotel website/Facebook page advising of the issue. Staff were polite and apologetic. A rare event I'm sure, however I'm equally sure that traveller experience could have been improved.

This was not the hotel I booked. It was old and in a bad part of town.

Absolute worst experience ever. Drove 1000 miles only to show up at 2am and find out my room was cancelled. The guy on duty made no effort to help and had a "DGAF" attitude. Had to scramble to find somewhere to stay.

I asked if there was operational pool They said its not working. And i was told we’ll cancel your reservation without any fees and upon reaching expedia about it. They mentioned that there is no response from the property. Very bad experience and response.

Hotel phone did not work, so it was impossible to call for the shuttle. We wound up having not take rideshares from the airport. If you are expecting to make use of the shuttle, think otherwise.

Front desk staff was not helpfull at all, the manager was lying for the front desk staff, no bottled water available in the hotel. When we asked for hand soap they said housekeeping left for the day and its not available, I asked do I have to go buy my own soap and they responded that would be preferred. Then I asked to talk to the manager thats when they said you can come get the soap from the front desk, and at the front desk the so called manager denied that the staff said to go buy our own soap, completly lying to my face. No iron the room, had to go get it from the front desk. Had to stay because they refused to give our money back. Breakfast was terrible the toaster was not working had to hold it down. Don't waste your money here. Very disappointed!
- 3/5
Cons: The hotel advertised shuttle to/from airport, pool, hot tub, and breakfast. When we arrived at the airport, we called multiple times for pickup and the phone line wasn't working. We had to take an Uber to the hotel. We were requesting a credit, but we needed a late checkout so that balanced out. Upon trying to go the pool, it was dirty with bugs, leaves, and debris. We had to ask several times for it to be cleaned to be usable. The hot tub jets were not working, so there was no bubbles. I understand that keeping an outside pool clean is difficult, but it can be better managed by the staff.
- 5/5
Well maintained, the hotel was excellent for the stay we had, only issue we had was the pool was out of order, maintenance came and cleaned the pool, but guest weren't allowed in for a week after the clean, my kids wanted to swim while we were there, but no luck

There was only one thing to like about the property, young lady at the front desk although she seemed far removed and really unbothered. She was respectful and professional. The front lobby is clean but it still has a smell. My room didn't have soap the air conditioner didn't work the couch was horrific the pool was Green and dirty. They shouldn't advertise a pool if it's not usable. I was up all night with the air conditioner sound like a truck engine but did not work at all. She compensated me with 2,000 points to my ihd account, but said that she was unable to do anything else. The owners are managing many properties so they can't help. They're not managing this one that's for doing sure. I don't know why hotels would operate this way.

We had 3 people staying in the room. Only got 2 towels and the toilet paper was only half full. No extra's in the room. We had to use tissues.

The property was close to restaurants and included a fresh breakfast.

Breakfast was great, the staff was amazing, the property was not well kept, beautification definitely needed.
- 2/5
The only positive thing I can say about this place is the staffs, very nice and helpful. Everything else terrible. The place doesn’t look as the picture. My room was not cleaned for days, I had to ask the front desk then they texted a staff to come to my room. I just had to ask for fresh towels and toilet paper myself. The toilet makes very very loud noise when flush. The shower makes loud noises when turned on. The light was flashing but the staffs addressed it right a way when I told them. I’ve never encountered anything like this. The next day the cleaning staffs came around 9 AM, why so early? Don’t they have the policy to check out at 11, that’s when they start cleaning? I told the lady I’ll be out of the room in an hour and she said she came back but never return, again, my room was not cleaned, no fresh supply. I think Holiday Inn is old now, not like the old days, not running well. I will not book with Holiday Inn again.

Breakfast wasn’t that great. Parking was awesome. Gated parking. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable.

They have a second building that's not connected and you'll have to walk to the main building for the exercise room, breakfast or and other amenities it was a little inconvenient considering that it rained every day

At first, the room was well prepared but a day after, two days after, there were no clear towels and the room was not cleaned either. Breakfast area was great. The front clerk was great and the parking was great and the property was clean.

It had a waterline break in the hotel when I was there. The lobby was flooded. The next day it was fixed. Looked like nothing happened. Staff was slow to bring towels.

The staff were kind and seemed to be doing the best they could with what they had. The property was in bad shape. Even with some renovations, it seemed like a bandaid over a broken bone.

Parking was behind iron gates and seemed secure. The room is very close to highway noise all night long. Renovations going on in rooms but lobby looks new. The free breakfast was the best one we have seen in any hotel

Nice place to stay

The lobby did not have any change to utilize the laundry??
- 1/5
This place was partially renovated, the bathrooms were original and painted over. The shower head was 5 ft high. The pool is not heated. They did vacuum the halways, though the carpet was so gross it probably wouldnt have helped. The AC unit sounded like a jet engine both us and my partents had to sleep with out it on as it was too loud. Breakfast they ran out of coffee, and other items. The staff were indifferent to any of our issues. I would highly recommend finding another hotel.

We called the hotel as soon as we landed approx. 5:30 am and they told us where to wait and the airport shuttle came promptly. We were early so we knew we had to either wait or let them keep the bags until later. We were very fortunate and managed to get into the room a bit earlier-thanks to the receptionist. The breakfast was welcome and enough- sausage, eggs(varied each day) , potatoes, bread, pancakes, bagel, muffins etc everything wrapped since it is a self serve.There was also the cereal, oats etc, fruit, yogurt and drinks-juices, tea, coffee. Rooms were clean and tidy-it's only the corridor that seemed untidy as if no one ever used a vacuum there. But I know they were doing some work there so maybe that was the cause. There is a small pool - didn't use it but it seemed ok. There was some small work being done there as well. I would definitely stay there again since the price and amenities were good. There were lots of eating places nearby (within walking distance and on the same side) Cracker Barrel, Jack in a box, Whataburger. On the other side of the road a grocery, Popeyes and other eating places.

Stayed here one night after a cruise. We did not use the wifi, pool, fitness centre or shuttle, but did not hear any complaints from other visitors. The hotel is older but has had some cosmetic updates with some still in progress. The beds were comfy, the shower pressure adequate, the free breakfast has a decent selection of food and beverages (real protein!) and the staff were all great and friendly. The secure self-parking is a nice feature too. Hotel is also quite convenient to IAH airport.

After breakfast, we told front desk that we will be leaving in 20 minutes. They told us to stop by to check out when we would leave. This resulted in carrying luggage back and forth on the 1st floor. On a positive side, the breakfast was excellent.

It's in a pretty tough area of town. The rooms were ok but the hallways and area were a mess because of construction

Breakfast was decent but out of most things unless you’re there earlier than 7. Should’ve stayed st la Quinta again instead. Not worth the money I paid. People fighting in the hallways. Felt like a crack house

The property was torn apart for some sort of restoration but that left us walking around a construction zone. The room itself wasn’t very clean either and the pull out bed looks like it’s been peed on for the last 8 years.

The property was under construction. The housekeeping was not cleaning up after the construction crew. Whitney the night receptionist did not notify us that the elevator from the second floor to the third floor that was operating. However, when we got to the elevator, it had a sign that said use the elevator to the second floor and then walk to the third floor. We are handicapped. When we went to ask the receptionist about it she said oh you can use the elevator. Ignore the sign. So because she was too lazy to remove the sign she was making people walk from the second floor up the stairs to the third floor.

I couldnt believe Holiday InnExpress would allow its brand on a property this bad. Heck, I doubt even Motel 6 would brand this place. I expect a sign outside that offers hourly rates!

Breakfast area was large and well-lit, overlooking the outdoor pool. Too bad the pool and hot tub were closed. Renovations made some things lacking. Like no closet rods to hang clothes in the room. Parking was difficult on Saturday night.

Room had been remodeled but was very well worn. Hotel is not in a great part of town for families.
- 3/5
The only downside to the hotel was that the shower was dripping and we had some mosquitoes in the room. Other that that was a comfortable stay, the hotel is near I 45 so it’s quite easy to drive around. We did around 50 minutes to the space center and most of the other places we visited. 20 min from airport .

Breakfast was excellent, lots of choices. The staff was friendly and very helpful.

It looks like they took 2 run down motels and slapped a Holiday Inn Express sign on it. Yes, 2 buildings for the same hotel. It was terrible.
- 3/5
The hotel said it was doing renovations but i couldn’t tell. When booking, kids should not be put in an adjacent room near someone else. They were screaming and crying like an adult was harming them for hours. I had to keep calling the front desk. The shuttle was good but maybe they should clean them up as well.

I booked my stay from the 5th to 9th at one Holliday Inn Express Location in Houston. Upon arrival, I approached the front desk to pay for my hotel stay in advance, I was then advised by the hotel manger by the name of Vanessa who assisted with my checkin and gave me their statment upon payment, to which made no sence after calculations showed I was charged an additional 140.00 charge which made my total amount stay 618.00 for a 3 star quality hotel (google is not telling the truth) when as the Manager Vanessa why is there an upcharge of additional 140.00 for a reservation I booked a month in advance? (feb 5th) Mangers reply was [you will need to contact your third party vender] so Called Expedia Sarphak on 03/05 regarding over payment of booked hotel stay at Holliday inn express $494.65 when my balance ŵas as is in my statment 478.00 - 97.00 deposit should've been 381.00 estimate. After explaning this with Sarphak thru Expedia was advised there sending this case for review and please allow 72hrs never recieved a response. I this kind of service is unacceptable for your company. As well this is the irresponsible marketing and it should not be accepted to any person who wants to book within your company. Having hidden fees? I thought that if you book online and you put a deposit down on for it, then the price is locked, PERIOD!!! This honestly, is unacceptable her Expedia as well as Holiday Inn and I will never book with either parties again.

Room was filthy with huge dust bunnies, hair and popcorn on the floor. Had hair in the bed. Bathroom was gross with hair on floor and tub. The darkening shades had numerous holes in them. Did move us to new room next day and room was not as filthy but we did have to clean toilet seat ourselves with hand sanitizer as something was all over it and also had to wipe down end tables. The shower also would not stop leaking.

Bathroom toilet set needed to replace. Air conditioner was loud hard to sleep. Floors on the 4th floor were just add so you couldn’t take the elevator to that floor. Walls unfinished. The was being remodeled and I should have never been assigned. Housekeeping only added new towels for my five nights
- 2/5
The property was not very clean, hallways and elevator. We’re terrible with cleanliness no amenities in the room besides coffee my particular room had no place to hang up clothes. The girls on the front desk were very friendly and courteous in the morning. The breakfast bar was not taken care of the way. It’s usually done at other Holiday Inn express we had to wait over 20 minutes to get fresh food after everything had been eaten.
- 3/5
I was informed there was no Airport Shuttle so had to use ride share to get to the hotel. There is rust etcetera on the bathroom fixtures - and some really annoying (HVAC) sound that runs for about 5-10 minutes and then shuts off - and then runs again right around the time you just fall back to sleep - Staff was fabulous though

The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff was courteous and friendly. Airport shuttle was comfortable.
- 2/5
Too many things to list but some for examples. Was told 20 minutes for airport shuttle and it took 55. Hotel would not answer phone when I tried calling to check. Shuttle driver was having a bad day because his car was broken into at the hotel that morning. Elevator out and we are on 4th floor. Ask for housekeeping and was told just to make sure tag was not on door. No one showed up then I was told I had to request it. Which I did at desk when I was told I didn’t need to request it! Hotel room door not locked when I first got to room. Key cards did not work not once but twice! Hotel is under construction and looks horrible. On the positive side bed was comfortable and they have a good breakfast. Staff was nice and understanding about all their shortcomings.
