I had higher expectations for this hotel. Here are the positives and negatives:

Positive: Relatively clean, friendly service at the front desk, good rates, beautiful lobby/kitchen area

Negatives: The room was a weird mess. For example, the lamps were crooked, the bathroom door barely shuts due to the fact that it hits the toilet, there was a small hole above the bed, the furniture looked really dated, used, and abused, the toilet paper, paper towels, and kleenix all had cute folded shapes; however, they all looked half used (i.e., the rolls were not new, etc.), and there is a lot of noise due to the location right off the highway.

While everything appeared to be clean, the weirdness of the room did not give me the confidence that it was in the best shape. I was nervous about touching anything.

I was in a pinch and needed a decent hotel and this fit the bill just fine. I had shied away from staying at Holiday Inn because they allowed smoking in the hotel. To my surprise they have now banned smoking in the rooms and in the hotel. The room was warm and inviting, the room could use a touch up on the paint as there were scuff marks all over. This was a suite so there were separate living room and sleeping areas. The staff was very pleasant and worked hard to accommodate my request of top floor away from the elevator/noise as I was traveling with an infant. The beds slept well and there was a refrigerator and microwave near the bar area. WiFi is free! They offered a little breakfast in the morning that was very popular with the guest, pancakes in 30 seconds was a hit! Easy to get to off I-35 and about 20 minutes to the airport. I would stay here again in a pinch, but just for 1 night.

Stayed here twice recently on business and was very surprised at the huge rooms and suites with lots of amenities. Will definitely stay here on business and pleasure trips to Austin.

Hotel was booked for us for a training session. We arrived late but the staff was very nice and cordial. The hotel was an older one but very clean. The rooms are spacious with just about everything you could want on hand. We enjoyed the breakfast the next day, very good to start the day with. Overall a very nice visit at a top notch hotel....
