The staff was friendly, room was spacious and clean. My only complaint is that the beds are hard. Other than that, it was a perfect stay.

The self-parking seemed very high. It was $39. per night, and the tub drain was stopped up. Breakfast was good.

Stayed here after I DJed an event in East Austin. Got to the room before the event to rest up then after the event parked my car and had some pizza at Hoboken fun and few beers at Better Days bar then to Elysium for an hour of 'K-Pop' night.

The location is great, but not the best stay. The pillows were flat and bed was so hard. I am a 150lb 5’7 female side sleeper and bed so hard was cutting off circulation in my hands. Attached is picture of dirty sheets. Gross checking into a room for a week and can’t get clean sheets! Took two days to come and repair toilet. Front desk female was rude and unprofessional wearing airbuds instead of helping day guests. We paid for parking at the hotel, but each time we left garage we had to pay again. Left very unsafe. No day security. Tried to get in room elevator around 430p and there was a homeless person in the elevator. Walked out of course. Waited for another elevator, but only one worked, so had to take unsecured stairs.

Nice hotel. Clean and polite. Surrounding streets are a little uncertain. Suggest ubering rather than walking near this hotel

We requested connecting rooms but they booked one of them so we ended up in two different rooms so my two other kids got separated into another room instead..

It was okayyy, the people on reception were nice. Unfortunately there were some negatives, the air con was really loud, they didn’t clean the room over the 4 days we were there. The breakfast was okay but it was also really busy - not the hotels fault. The location was good, but now you’re having a drink with that I guessthere was a lot of homeless nearby Overall for the price it was okayyy, it was the best value hotel when we’re looking. But if I were to return I would go for a more upscale hotel. Ultimately it was the price for us.

There was nothing sitting there would be a hold on an additional $100 for incidentals on either website. It was not on IHG mobile app. It was not on hotels.com. It was not on the Holiday Inn website and it takes 10 days to put back on the card, which is not fair to the user since it’s not noted anywhere
