We had a great time staying at the Holiday Inn Express. The location was fantastic — within walking distance to 6th Street and lots of great restaurants. The pool was really nice, and we especially enjoyed the DJ on Saturday evening which made for a fun atmosphere. Free breakfast buffet each morning was nice and had a good variety of food. On the downside, our pull-out couch did not pull out. When we asked the front desk for a replacement, they couldn’t provide a new couch but did bring up a cot, which helped. Also, the pool bar didn’t open until 4 pm, which was a bit of a bummer since it would have been nice to grab a drink earlier in the day. Overall, though, it was a very nice stay with a great location and enjoyable amenities.

I would like to suggest that when a customer books a room in the downtown Austin, hotel, you give them a code to get in the parking garage at that time. Then once in the garage, the signs for instructions to get to the Holiday Inn desk, needs to be better instructions to lead you there. Like hit -1* on the elevator. And when the desk person checks you in, tell the customer that you use your room key inside the elevator to get to your floor. The riom was nice.

The cleanliness of the room was average. I did notice some things on the floors but didn’t affect the overall experience. The front desk staff, aside from one woman, were not helpful with most things as most of them didn’t know the answers to our questions and always referred to having to ask their manager who never seemed to be on site. We had 3 instances where service from front desk staff was very, very poor resulting in my having to email the manager about our experience. I am waiting on a response from her regarding these things.
