The room was musty smelling. We let the staff know, but was not resolved. Elevator was not operable the entire time, the pool was not working, and the ice machine was inoperable as well. Not worth the price we spent.

Hotel needed a good cleaning in the common areas. The carpeting was dirty, and it looked like the place was very poorly taken care of. The room itself was clean and much better than the common areas. The shower had no hot water at first until someone in the front desk. Explain there’s a “trick” to it in the way you use the handle. Kind of silly for a hotel to have a trick like that needed. ‘Curb appeal’ of the hotel was totally lacking. No ice available and the little ‘shop’ had very little in it for purchase. You would think the hotel just opened up. Overall not a great experience.

Everything was out of order! The pull out couch was full of crumbs and filthy! AC never regulated and then began to smoke. The ice machine(s) throughout the hotel never worked. Laundry facility was out of order. Television in the breakfast area didn't work, i asked to at least turn it on to music, the front clerk handed me the remote and said ok you fix it!!! Completely unacceptable!!! I will never stay there again and will never refer anyone.

I found the room clean, the bed comfortable and the buffet breakfast not bad.

Our floor was very quiet, and that was great! The ice machines are all not hooked up yet, so that was a minus.

I had to be moved to a third room. The first smelled like Urine, the second smelled like mold and the floor had stains from the fridge leaking in front of it, the elevators didn't work, there was no actual cream for coffee. There was no manager on staff

Several things wrong . Ice machine was broken and the elevator was out of order

The elevator & ice machines didn't work. Our first room had a soaking wet carpet near the AC. Our second room's AC couldn't entirely cool the room. The bed was the hardest I've ever experienced in a hotel. The staff was nice, though.

Check to see if any is working before you book. Elevator was broken, no ice machines worked, washing machines were not working and the pool was closed for maintenance. Front desk clerk did seem interested in helping . If I could give this place 0 stars, I would! There wasn’t any sign at the check-in desk to say the pool wasn’t working so we were changed into our swimming clothes and headed out the door to the pool before we found out it was closed. We checked out 15 minutes later.

This is our 2nd stay here this week and the elevator has been broken the entire week. The ice machine the only one they have in the entire hotel is also been broken for the entire week. The pool is also closed, so the only amenities available was the gym.

Elevator was broken throughout our stay. Our room was on 3rd floor and had to used the stairs with all our luggage’s. A big in convenience. Bagels have always been my go to for breakfast and there were none and asked if there were more and was told they had ran out the day before.

In the morning, I sent my husband to get me coffee (no machines in the room). He came back w a Keurig and told me the coffee machines were down and would not be working for a few hours. Then we went to breakfast, they had the least amount of food items I have ever seen at a HIE. I always have a bagel & pb but they do not carry pb so I settled for butter. The employees didn't seem to care whether we were inconviennced or not. They were just matter of fact. I think I'd rather pay more and stay elsewhere on our future visits.

Our door to the room needs looked at.

We went twice back to the desk to get a new key and still door did not open. The guy in the front desk had to go manually open it with a machine. After about 5 minutes of trying it finally open. They had to change us to different room. Had to repack and get everything out of fridge. After finally getting another room they didn’t give us the password to the WiFi. Only the key to the room. Was too tired to go back downstairs. Other than that stay was good.

When I checked in, the guest ahead of me was greeted warmly, but I was treated very differently. As a woman traveling alone for work, I always request a higher floor away from elevators and ice machines for safety and because I’m a light sleeper. Jared claimed he couldn’t see requests from third-party bookings, then immediately stated there were no rooms matching my requests—making it obvious he had seen them. He refused to provide the manager’s contact information, giving only her first name, Shana. Instead, I was assigned a first-floor room next to both the elevator and ice machine—the exact opposite of my requests. The room was unacceptable: a damaged door frame and lock, a roach on the floor, dirty carpets with crumbs, and broken dresser drawers. I have photos of everything. Jared also refused to explain any hotel amenities, simply replying “No” when I asked. We immediately checked out because we did not feel safe. Even worse, Jared later contacted my employer through our company’s Instagram account to complain about me. My employer fully supported my decision after seeing the photos and agreed I should never be placed on a first floor while traveling alone. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. Management needs to address staff professionalism, housekeeping, pest control, and room security immediately.

Not kid family friendly. Not Veteran friendly. The third night, Staff member pounds on our door at 8pm saying my children were running around which they weren’t and was very aggressive. When my husband went to tell that staff member that the noise was continuing even though our children were in bed and to defend our children, that staff member called the police and kicked us out at 9pm (I have a 5 year old, 4 year old, and a 7 month old). It was handled grossly inappropriately and unprofessionally. The fridge was hot when we arrived. Room smelled like feet. Housekeeping finally cleaned room but didn’t leave towels. I could go on. I’m beyond disappointed with this hotel and will not be returning. I recommend staying at a different location!

I was only there for one night, but I found it to be clean, and well appointed. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and even assisted me in finding somewhere to have dinner when I arrived. The price for the room was also very reasonable, considering it was in a very nice area surrounding Austin Texas. Would recommend this Holiday Inn to anyone who’s looking for a pleasant experience.

I booked 3 nights to wait out the Austin winter storm on Jan 24. Upon arriving, the door handles had frozen on my car and as a result I couldnt close the doors or open them again later. I couldnt take the room because I couldnt leave the car doors open during the stay. But the hotel didnt care and wouldnt refund even though clearly it was a crisis and im a senior citizen too. I would have accepted credit for a future stay but none was offered. I think this is a rotten way to treat people who hadnt simply changed their mind. True, weather isnt the fault of the hotel but given that this was $500 down the drain, they certain could have done better, even subtracting a service charge. Im not saying a person shouldnt stay there but inflexible or severe policies like this should make one think twice.

We arrived at 1am after driving all day/all night. There was a sign on the front desk to call the night manager at ###…. to check-in. After checking in and 3 trips up and down the elevator, to get our key card to work, the manager finally had to come let us into the room. It was a room with 2 queen beds. Neither of the bed sheets had been changed. There were black hairs and stains on the fitted sheets. Since it was late and we had to leave early, we ended up sleeping on top of the sheets. I notified the front desk when we checked out.

Overall, the accommodation was VERY GOOD, but the maid service was lacking. (Specifically, after the 1st night the room was not made up We were also shorted toweling & water cups.) The bed was difficult for a senior female to get into as it was fairly high off the floor.

The overnight person on duty was doing a room check and opened my door at 2am without identifying himself. I had extra security on the door and they couldn’t enter my room. Then he knocked but didn’t identify himself. I was scared and then I got a call from the front desk as I was about to call and I was quizzed about my room. The person who changed my room when I checked in must have not updated the record. Sadly, I couldn’t get back to sleep.

The facility was good. I was paying for a guest and expedia charged me one price and I asked my guest to get a receipt and the receipt was cheaper than what Expedia charged me. I contacted Expedia about the difference and they said despite the receipt I would still be charged the higher rate. I am not pleased with Expedia and will not use them again. They charged me more than booking directly through the hotel and when confronted they didn't budge an inch. Beware future Expedia users

Booked a room days in advance and was placed across from the elevator on the ground floor. Was constantly woken by the sound of kids yelling in the lobby, unknown things hitting my door all throughout the day, and the chime of the elevator. No seal on the bottom of the shower door, so every shower led to a large amout of water on the floor to clean up. Definitely ruiened my trip by lack of sleep.

Nice hotel. Good location and clean. The only issue we encountered was the breakfast the two mornings we tried to eat. Breakfast was 7-10 am but despite arriving @ 845 and 9 they were “out” of every hot item and the pancake machine was empty. No coffee both days and had to ask for it to be refilled. The breakfast wasn’t particularly busy, but either it wasn’t staffed with enough people or the right people.
