Stayed for an overnight trip. Did not care for the parking, as it was in a sketchy, dark, unsafe underground parking garage 4 stories below the actual hotel. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. Not good at all.
4.1
good overnight stay, decent breakfast, good coffee, nice pool area! Only had a little difficulty with the HVAC system, but overall a very nice stay.
4.1
Nice pool. Good breakfast. Good location close to 6th.
4.1
Started out rocky. Should have been notified of high security deposit BEFORE swiping card! I also thought it was high and a bit ridiculous to have to pay extra for parking. However, very good location and cleanliness was great. Nice spot by the pool to sit as well.
4.1
Front desk staff were extremely nice and helpful. I had a long travel day, so I decided to order room service… which was a really weird experience that I wouldn’t recommend. Otherwise great stay!
4.1
The staff were really friendly and breakfast was good. Only downside was the loungers at the pool were too worn out to be comfortable. Would stay again
4.1
Overall, a very pleasant stay. The staff was wonderful and responsive, friendly, and nice! Everyone was very clean and large and well lit. There were many areas for sitting and sleeping. The bathroom was perfectly clean and large. The free amenities at the hotel like the breakfast were awesome.
4.1
I was impressed at how clean and neat the lobby and room was. I even enjoyed the use of Dove soaps in the room which I have never used and really liked. The pool was beautiful and the breakfast was great. Didn’t like the paid parking garage, too far down, but overall would definitely recommend for any getaway.
4.1
This is an excellent loaction. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely stay here again when I come back to downtown Austin.
4.1
We went to a concert at the moody center it was perfect. Also love being right next to down town so we can walk everywhere. Highly recommend it’s a very nice hotel.
4.1
Great place to stay if you want to be in walking distance of main attractions, Capital building about 15 mins walk. 6th Street and bars and music 5mins. Hotel is what you'd expect for its level. But staff were helpful and the whole place was spotless. Plenty of dining options within walking distance.
Austin does have a homeless problem and dodging them is near impossible. But what major city doesn't, didn't encounter any problems with them. Very young crowd mainly, but still fun for the over 40s.
4.1
We had an excellent stay at the Holiday Inn in Austin! The hotel was very clean and fresh, the staff were lovely and responsive, the pool area was tidy and in good shape, and it was a better continental breakfast than a lot of hotels I’ve stayed in.
In regards to other reviews noting it—yes, the area of town where this hotel is has a notable homeless population. Nobody bothered us at all while walking to and from, and we never felt in any way unsafe. If you are generally afraid of homeless people, maybe you won’t like it here (or in downtown Austin in general) but typically if you respect others they will respect you. It was not an issue for us.

Nice stay. Loved the lady from Houston at front desk. Great service. Rooms are hardwood laminate which isn’t as comforting as carpet but slept very well! Appreciated gym and easy access water fountain and vending.l with great choices.

I love Holiday Inn, friendly workers, super clean.Outstanding service but this time i got a room that it was across from a night club OMG my family and I couldn’t sleep for nothing making our stayed not so great. I wish that the front desk person could’ve warned us about this issue.

Loved the pool and lounge set up.
4.1
The staff is so kind and helpful, but our AC was insanely loud. They leave earplugs in the room, I assume, because of this. The room felt humid, and I noticed mold on a lampshade that was near the air vent. Staying in this area feels a bit unsafe, but the streets surrounding are very well lit.
4.1
When I originally checked into the room, the room had a horrible smell. I informed the front desk and they moved the room immediately.
