The hotel is very clean, we'll kept and staff extremely accommodating & friendly. The area feels safe and we walked around every night without any issues. Just a few blocks away to sixth start is a great nightlife! Lots of bars and music. A short Uber or Lyft ride near the Austin convention Center is more upscale shopping and dining. Had a great time on this trip!

This hotel downgraded my room even though I booked and paid for it weeks prior to my stay- they said they glad several bookings in the few days prior to our stay so they had to downgrade my room. No offer of a refund. Very poor business tactics. I feel it was because I booked through Expedia which I will not do again and will not book at holiday inn again as well

My overall stay was great. My only complaints are the shower pressure was weak & I wasn't able to reach anyone by phone about getting fresh towels in the morning of check out. I even tried texting the number that they provided me for if I needed anything. Nobody ever texted back.
