Went through priceline and got this hotel for 5 days at 35$ a night. It was a steal. The service was great, housekeeping divine. The only couple of things we noticed, was there seems to be a lot of loud car stereos in the parking lot, the deep thumping kind. We were a little worried that the noise from the highway would be a factor, but it couldn't be heard at all in the room, and we had a room closest to the road. The room was in good condition with just needing a few minor repairs needed. We would definately stay there again. The hotel offered all the amenities advertised, and the internet worked great. Though the bed..... Ick. Was uncomfortable for me and my boyfriend. Woke up many times throughout the night with sore shoulders, and backs. We can't pinpoint what it was (too soft/hard?) but it served the purpose of allowing us some rest. The hotel is located in far north Austin (Actually on the pflugerville/round rock border practically) which was a small inconvenience since our friends we were visiting were in South Austin.

Nice large room (1 bedroom suite). Just outside of Austin. If you are looking to for something close to downtown, this is not the place for you. Didn't try the breakfast. No real complaints. I don't think the bed was a true King but it was OK. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

After searching thru several pages of reviews for Austin hotels, we chose this Holiday Inn Express because the rooms seemed nice, the price was OK and they offered smoking rooms. Upon arrival they said "we put you on the first floor so it would be more convenient for you to go outside and smoke". I told them their own website gave me the choice of a smoking or non-smoking room. All they said was "Sorry". So what we have here is a hotel with totally false room descriptions and one who discriminates against certain people. We will check out tomorrow and go down the road to the Super 8 where we have stayed before and where they welcome everyone.

We spent 1 night at this hotel. Everything was great, very spacious accommodation - we had a sitting room with fridge, microwavem TV, Sofa, Desk + bedroom with another TV, 2 Queen size beds,etc. I thought it was a new hotel, but was told it was totally renovated when HI took it over...
The rate was good, a lot of great restaurants nearby. The only frustrating thing weas to find the hotel; probably Mapquest map & directions was a bit confusing...As you head North from Austin, the numbers show 19000 block; so we thought we missed it. Actually, it is under the bridge, then going South again; in other words: on the other side..
The desk clerk was extremely helpful, gave us a lot of good information & maps of Austin as we were to do all the sightseeing the following day. The seafood restaurant Fish Daddy was also excellent. The rate included breakfast of pastries, cereals, eggs, coffee, yogurt & juice. We enjoyed our stay...
