The staff were very friendly and the bed was super comfortable. I havent given full marks as the mezzanine area was closed for renovations, which could have been explained beforehand, and the hotel bar/restaurant was closed. Also, the alarm clock went off at 6am which we hadn't set, then again ten minutes later! The shuttle service was an excellent idea.

Absolutely horrible customer service at this hotel. The hotel was under construction and super loud at all hours, I was not notified ahead of booking that this was ongoing. When I called front desk to complain they said construction would end soon, which didn’t happen. In the morning I went downstairs for breakfast, I asked where I could eat, as it says there was breakfast in the lobby area but I couldn’t find it, the lady answered by mumbling. (I still don’t know where the breakfast lounge is) Left a horrible taste for holiday inn, I always stay at holiday inns but I think this is where I draw the line. I also called holiday inn customer complaints line and was told that I’d get a call back within 5 minutes from this hotel for some kind of action on my bad experience but never got one, I called 10+ times throughout the day and every time I was given the same answer that the hotel would call me within 5 minutes (I am still awaiting a call and some kids of retribution) horribly dissatisfied with holiday inn. I will take my business for the rest of my Texas trip at different hotels.

This is a hotel on the verge of a much needed tip to bottom renovation. The staff is friendly. The Burger Theory restaurant that anchors the main floor is just that, a theory. Closed a couple of months ago and apparently not coming back. Rooms are clean and serviceable but like the rest of the hotel appear as if they are stuck in that purgatory of “well, since we’re going to spend a lot of money to renovate this place at some point in the future, let’s not do anything now” purgatory. Wall mounted Soap dispensers are a good four feet away from bathroom sink on opposite side of toilet which is both dumb design and inconvenient. Water from sink in bathroom has a foul odor which makes one second guess one’s life choices. The bed is comfy so a good night sleep can be had. The lobby is kind of grim in a bus stop sort of way, but the lobby bathrooms are actually surprisingly clean and welcoming. In our three day stay our room keys did not work at least once per day, which is challenging when you need them for rooms, front door of hotel and parking garage. We exchanged our card keys three times. I’m sure in a few months or years this place will be refit and be great. For now, you get what you pay for.

The room was clean. I’m satisfied with the hair care and body lotion. It would be great if there were hair brush and more drink (soup) options.
