The room was spacious enough but had a rather cramped bathroom. In addition it wasn't in the greatest condition. Rusted metal everywhere, and a missing chunk of carpet. It looks like they've "remodeled" in years past but it was more like putting lipstick on a pig. The bed was very stiff, but pillows were comfortable. For the price it wasn't the worst stay but similar prices exist at nearby hotels that may be better.

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn in Austin, Texas while attending a real estate conference, and I have to say, it was a fantastic surprise. My expectations were pretty modest—I just needed a place with parking and a bed for the night—but they really went above and beyond. The included hot breakfast was a standout. Not only did they have a wide selection—think eggs, bacon, Danish pastries, oatmeal, and more—but the staff actually brought coffee refills to the table and cleared plates like you’d expect in a sit-down restaurant. It was a level of service I didn’t see coming from a hotel breakfast that I figured would just be grab-and-go. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly, and the concierge was super helpful throughout my stay. Honestly, despite seeing some low online reviews beforehand, this Holiday Inn really exceeded expectations and I’d absolutely stay here again. Five stars all the way!

Stayed there for a day. The property is old and the common area near elevators and pathway smells. I have stayed in Holiday Inn in different places but the breakfast they provided here is not even close to what you will get in other places, big time to change it, not at all worth it

The facility is in need of some deep cleaning, repairs and updating. The facility is nonsmoking but our room smelled like cigarettes. The building/windows did not stip any sounds frim outside traffic/noise. Inside could hear noise from next rooms, could hear when water was running in other rooms. The parking is in a multiple story garage that had all compact size spaces and 2 cars could barely pass each other driving inside. Would not stay here again..2 stars only because staff was decent.

Older building in comparison to others in the city which is very clean and has been well-maintained. Easy access to the highway and the river/lake adjacent to the south. Restaurants/bars on Rainey Street within a 5-10 minute walk. Staff very friendly and helpful. Free parking a big plus.
