Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by VHH1204 Good Value for the Money
Comfortable rooms. Hotel is undergoing renovation, but disruption is kept to a minimum. Good value for the money.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by tree56 Under construction and No remote to TV
I under the stand the remodeling and the construction but the door to my room stuck and had to pull hard to open the door. The remodeling was going on right outside my door and the company installing the tile in the lobby were cutting their tile after 10:30 at night.
The remote to the TV did not work. I took it down to the front desk and they replace the batteries but that was not the problem. I borrowed a remote from another room and that one worked. The only thing that the front desk offered was for me to go to another room after I had been in the room and settled in.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by DMOB Noisy and uncomfortable
I have stayed in this HI many times and am a priority club member.
On check in I was not treated like a priority club member, did not get my water or any recognition.
The fan in the room was very noisy.
During my stay there was work being done on the floor in the lounge and lobby.
It was noisy, which I understand, but the workers were practically yelling at each other in Spanish..
There were obstacles everywhere, plastic curtains, ladders and people on the floor working..
This was the worst experience I have ever had at this HI.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Pegc0127 The staff is fantastic!
We recently spent 3 nights while visiting Austin. Although the hotel is under a renovation process, the staff was fantastic helping with anything. They were extremely helpful, friendly and very accomodating...especially the day manager, Kimberly. I woud hightly recommend it and I know we will be staying there again when we return. Can't wait to see the finished project!

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by VHH1204 Hope This Was Just An Off Experience
When I arrived at the hotel, it took a good 2-3 minutes before the front desk clerk (on the phone at the time I walked up) even acknowledged my presence. He didn't even bother to look up from what he was doing. Very rude and unwelcoming. Then, to add insult to injury, I was awakened by a call from the front desk at 10:30 p.m. verifying my room number and advising me that the front desk clerk (perhaps the same young hispanic male who was so rude when I checked in early evening) had given my room to another individual and had even prepared keys to give to a male who was set to inhabit my room. Thank goodness this young lady caught the mistake or it could have been a serious privacy/threat situation. She was VERY apologetic and assured me that she had caught the mistake and that the keys would not be given out to the man to whom the room had ALSO been booked. This is very scary! Renovations are ongoing at the hotel and while it will be very nice, it is quite a distractions and many of the public areas are currently torn up.

There was hair on the edge of the bathtub when we checked in. The desk chair in the room was ripped and had been "repaired" with tape. There is construction going on at this hotel, something that was not adequately conveyed in advance. We were awakened each morning by loud workers. The management representative was extremely rude, and said "we should have known" and "we should have stayed somewhere else" if we didn't like it. After we rejected his offer of "a couple hundred" Priority Club points (which is about enough to buy one song on iTunes), he did finally give us 3000 points (value approx. $30).

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by HolidayDisappointment disappointed
We were not told the hotel was undergoing renovations when we made our reservation which was disappointing. The girl who checked us in was the only friendly and helpful employee that we encountered during our entire stay. The other employees never greeted us or spoke to us unless we asked a question and then they came acrossed as if we were bothering them. The breakfast area was not kept up as well as other Holiday Inn Expresses where we have stayed. The breakfast choices were also not as fresh. We listened to constuction in a room above us all day and into the night; finally, at 9PM we called down to the desk to see what was going on and the desk clerk said that no work was supposed to be going on at night and he handled it within 15 minutes. There are not many hotel choices in the area but we will keep looking for a different choice!

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Canary52 Great service and good location
The hotel was being renovated The room we were in was fine. The hotel staff was very helpful and I love the location. You don't have many good hotels in this area. I read some bad reviews about the hotels in this area and decided Holiday Inn Express would be a good choice. Turn out I was right. I had to call the hotel directly to get reservations because the holiday inn website said that rooms were unavailable.

We have stay at this location many times. We have always enjoy are stay. Not this time. The Hotel was going through a renovation.
The first and second night were good. The third day we were ask to move do to renovation on the three floor. We move to the first floor which was very noisy due to person up stair. Renovation started at 9:00 am outside our door that next morning. Mmmm I thought it was going to start on the third floor. Very disappointed.
Should closed hotel while renovation.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Biff51 Room not clean
The bathroom on this stay was not clean. The bathroom had a "used" smell and the underside of the toilet seat was disgusting. Further, the office chair had a residue of a linear nature in the middle of the seat.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by deb88 Great room and breakfast choices.
The only con was that there was no stopper for the bathtub (not everyone likes a shower) and the bathroom sink stopper did not work.

Difficult to access. Great staff, especially Kimberly at reception who solved a bed/sleeping problem especially with 2 boys 6 and 9. Breakfast was varied, tasty and enjoyable.
