The garage is very dirty. The walls in hall ways are dirty and paint is chiping away. Elevator has grafity ingraved on metal walls. The room has a weir smell and carpet was torn where it meets the bathroom floor. The worst part is there was no hot water and water was not draining in tub. When i told front desk they did nothing about it. So i took a cold shower. The pictures of website does not match the property.

Please do not stay at this hotel!! I had a cold shower because when i woke up there was no hot water. After my day I rushed back to take a hot shower and again no hot water. I called the front desk , but they tell you anything to get you off phone, they told me they would send an engenieer to my hotel room, but he never came. Please do not stay here if you like showing with hot water . The bar attendant was very nice. That was the only nice thing about the hotel. Defenitly run down.

The pool and its opening hours and breakfast buffet were nice. We had a room on top floor above the garage, the view was nice, no noise from outside in the room, carpets in the room were comfortable and nice touch was that all the cosmetics provided was from Dove. The room was fairly large, bed was very comfortable, and the pillows were so nice I would love to have them at home. Complimentary parking in the parking house was very convenient. As a European, I was surprised about the minimum of vegetables in the breakfast selection, but is probably not hotel specific. The hotel is located near the highway, which is very practical but when in the pool or on the terrace, you hear all of it.

This is our second stay and we continue to enjoy the hotel. We asked if there were any lake view rooms available and were told that would be an extra $40 a night. I don't remember that from our previous stay. Great breakfast, friendly folks....the only little bit of a downside is getting in and out of the place is a bit tricky until you get the lay of the land. We will be back. The price is fair....and good.

We had a room with a lovely view over the lake, and a good view of the daily sunsets. We didn't appreciate the Staff being petty when serving food and drink; after paying for breakfast it was galling to be told if we had a glass of fruit juice we shouldn't really be having coffee too! Especially when there was a coffee machine right there with, seemingly, help-yourself cups right beside it.

The hotel was okay during my stay. There was an incident where the fire alarm was pulled and several guests including myself had to descend the stairs on floors up to level 11. Check in is late as I could not check in earlier unless I paid a $50 fee. I typically use Holiday Inn for hotel stays, but this trip missed the mark. The staff was friendly which was what highlighted the best part of staying here.

It was a good stay for a few nights though did not appreciate the early knock on my door asking when I was checking out when I still had 3.5 hours left on my stay. Every moment of sleep was needed for my long day and long drive back home but that didn’t happen and the trip home was a struggle. If I’m there after checkout please harass me , I get that, but if I’m paying for a place to sleep…let me sleep.

Free parking and hotel within 2 miles of the top sites…plus a shuttle that will take you anywhere within 2 miles (definitely tip deserving)….what more could you want. Towels were old and rough…should be updated. Toilet paper was more of essence of toilet paper vs actual toilet paper. Could use an update.

Public transportation is also available and I was able to get to the hotel from the airport for $1.25 on a direct bus. The staff is incredible. They even organized a free ride to a concert at the Moody Center with their airport shuffle because the driver didn’t have anything booked at the time. The pool overlooks the beautiful lake and green space. I really enjoyed my time here. Bed was comfortable. A+++

The hotel near the lake had a beautiful view from the big windows. We had a wonderful breakfast as we had a variety of choices. What we love the most was the courteous manner in which Arron the waiter in charge made us feel welcomed and served us coffee. We selected our breakfast and he came back to have small conversations and made us laugh with his sense of humor. He made sure to go to everyone to help make breakfast like we were at home.

Location on Lady Bird Lake: Easy access to the trail and water activities; quick rides to downtown and Rainey Street make it practical for a short city stay. Friendly service: Professional, responsive front desk and helpful shuttle/concierge guidance for nearby spots. Solid essentials: Comfortable beds, effective A/C, dependable hot water pressure, and generally clean rooms. Parking and value adds: Onsite parking, an on-property restaurant/bar for convenience, and reliable Wi‑Fi support a hassle-free overnight. Amenities for quick stays: Fitness room and pool meet basic needs; lake views from some rooms are a pleasant bonus. Noise considerations: Proximity to traffic and active corridors can bring road noise and hallway sounds; request a higher floor away from elevators. Breakfast/restaurant quality: Food is serviceable rather than standout; you may prefer nearby dining. Layout quirks: The building’s spread-out footprint and elevator waits can add minor friction when coming and going

It was a wonderful stay. Great location. All staff were great and attentive. Beautiful lake view rooms. Pool view awesome. Great parking. The only thing is, they don't have a complimentary breakfast and $15.95/pp is a little much, especially for a family with little ones that will probably only have a bowl of cereal that I witnessed and so therefore he didn't eat breakfast so that his 4yr old could eat her breakfast.

I have a series of photos and videos from my room, and am appealing for a full refund given the state of the hotel, numerous features of the room that did not work or were damaged. Here are the formal complaints: The hotel WiFi did not work My room's TV did not work The shower in my room did not drain The towels in my room had frayed edges and were falling apart The wallpaper was peeling There was an unknown black, flaky substance on my bed sheets
- 4/5
Around 3 a.m., I woke up and noticed a large puddle of water on the floor, almost as if someone had just stepped out of the shower and walked across the bathroom dripping wet. It was really odd because me and my boyfriend were sleeping. The most unsettling part was that when my boyfriend went to the bathroom around 3:30 a.m., the water was completely gone. The floor was totally dry, as if the puddle had never been there at all. I’m not sure if it was something paranormal, our imagination from being tired after traveling, or if this room has some kind of story… but it was definitely a very strange night. 👻

The included hot breakfast was a standout. Not only did they have a wide selection—think eggs, bacon, Danish pastries, oatmeal, and more—but the staff actually brought coffee refills to the table and cleared plates like you’d expect in a sit-down restaurant. It was a level of service I didn’t see coming from a hotel breakfast that I figured would just be grab-and-go. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly, and the concierge was super helpful throughout my stay. Honestly, despite seeing some low online reviews beforehand, this Holiday Inn really exceeded expectations and I’d absolutely stay here again. Five stars all the way!

Stayed there for a day. The property is old and the common area near elevators and pathway smells. I have stayed in Holiday Inn in different places but the breakfast they provided here is not even close to what you will get in other places, big time to change it, not at all worth it

Property badly needs a branding refresh with new carpets, furniture, linens, and decor. Musty smell pervades the space. The view is nice if you get a room with a view, and the parking garage is a great feature. Staff weren't exceptionally bad, or good

The facility is in need of some deep cleaning, repairs and updating. The facility is nonsmoking but our room smelled like cigarettes. The building/windows did not stip any sounds frim outside traffic/noise. Inside could hear noise from next rooms, could hear when water was running in other rooms. The parking is in a multiple story garage that had all compact size spaces and 2 cars could barely pass each other driving inside. Would not stay here again..2 stars only because staff was decent.

Older building in comparison to others in the city which is very clean and has been well-maintained. Easy access to the highway and the river/lake adjacent to the south. Restaurants/bars on Rainey Street within a 5-10 minute walk. Staff very friendly and helpful. Free parking a big plus.

We went to bar after seeing a show and ordered some dessert. Went the piece of cheesecake arrived we immediately noticed that it had mold on it! The bartender immediately took it away and did not charge us for it. We sat and talked while watching a game on TV and the bartender delivered some cheese sticks as an apology for the dessert mishap. They were good. He was extremely apologetic for everything and did not charge us for anything. The hotel's location was perfect for our visit, close to ACL, which was our primary reason for choosing to stay there. Overall, our experience was good.

We also barely got any sleep because we could hear a baby crying all night. Of course, this isn’t the parents’ fault, but it felt like the baby was right in our room — the sound insulation was that poor. Lastly, the room door had a noticeable gap that let in light from the hallway, which also made it easy to hear every footstep and conversation outside.

Clean. Pretty simple restaurant, but all you need for a few days. No room service, but they make it up for you downstairs very nicely and you just have to take it up the elevator yourself--no problem. Good parking set up in a very very hard to park area of town. Yes, it's a very old building, but it met our needs, clean and functional in all ways we needed. Only negative was one of the elevators was out, but we never had delays getting up and down to 7th floor.

While at Breakfast the stafff -Maria was not so friendly. Not the best start to my day. I paid extra for breakfast. When I asked for a coffee she pointed me down the hall. As I sat and watched her serve all other tables coffee and juice. Very rude. When you pay over $300.00 a night for a room you expect a little friendliness.

Unfortunately they had a power cut the day before so had no A/C and it was very hot however, they offered a discount which I’m still waiting for Expedia to refund me for. Hotel staff were lovely

The power went out for about 7 hours one of the nights I stayed here. The rooms got to be so hot and dark. Staff was great and handled everything the best they could it was just extremely inconvenient and unfortunate.

The power went out , no elevators and nine floors up was rough. Apparently there was a fire and the fire alarm went off but we didn’t get it on the ninth floor , so not good! Ended up checking out at about 11pm and driving 21/2 hours home instead of suffering through the heat. We were fully refunded but honestly that doesn’t make up for the fact that the alarm didn’t work and driving home when we expected to have breakfast and stay in the area a bit. The free shuttle was great though, took us anywhere within two miles. The staff were very nice, so even though we had a bad experience they handled it well and I wouldn’t rule out staying there again.

I've stayed in this hotel a few times before for business and it was phenomenal. Unfortunately this time was not great. I brought my family to take advantage of the super convenient lake access for paddleboarding. First impression, there was opened food left from previous guests in the cabinets, the bathroom floor tiles were broken and loose to the point of shifting catching your bare feet when you got in and out of the shower and there was no hot water. Then the second night we had no A/C or hot water. I finally asked to change rooms but the entire hotel was experiencing significant issues. We were put in a slightly smaller room on the other side of the hotel for the final night, but when it still was not cool enough to be comfortable, we left early. Been happy before so maybe they were just caught off guard by the multitude of issues. The front desk staff was very apologetic and helpful but it did force us to cut our vacation short.

Was dealing with harassment from nearby walls and DEW attacks that gave me a migraine. I tried to change rooms and bearded older gentleman working front reception was not only rude to me but made fun of me for having a migraine and essentially told me I could not change rooms. Also stalked by some of staff. Really creepy experience. Maintenance staff were helpful in changing the AC. Getting stalked by other staff and having my walls drilled into was creepy and disturbing and hit me with DEW hard enough to cause severe neurological symptoms and difficulty seeing.
