I appreciate the holiday inn having a shuttle. I used it multiple with no major issues. The hotel is in a nice area. I also appreciate being able to have breakfast every morning. I wish the gym had better equipment to use. I do plan to rebook with them when I’m back in Houston.

Everything was good. The only aspect of the room that I would definitely change is the water pressure on the shower, low to no pressure at all, which made it difficult to rinse the soap on my body.

Horrible parking garage. You have to walk down form the 3rd level to get to the elevator on the 2nd level. It’s very dangerous if someone is driving up and not paying attention. It’s also an inconvenience to carry luggage doing so.

All night you can hear people drag racing outside. Parking lot is beyond unsafe, small confined, low ceilings, pipes everywhere, staff not very helpful and sometimes waited till they acknowledge you. My girlfriend left an ear ring on accident in our room. I called back 3 times in two days. They either tell you call and talk to someone later or we will email if we find it. Literally the house keeper was cleaning room right next to ours when we left so I know she has the ear ring
