Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown University An Ihg Ho
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Not Quite What I Paid For."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Although the staff was excellent I was underwhelmed by the room. The problem started with the 3rd party who booked the room. I didn't get what I asked for. This caused a problem at check in. When coming off the hiway to rest for the evening spending time working out sleeping arrangements is frustrating. Our room was near a bar that played loud music until 12 one am. The outlet cover near the mirror where I plugged curling iron was affixed to the wall upside down. The bathroom door was not wised down, had many fingerprints so therefore not sanitized. On a scale of one 10 rating the room only, I give it a 4. Not nearly the comfort I would expect for the cost of the room.

"Great customer service and clean."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Everything was great but I would say to invest in my plastic silverware and a wine bottle opener.

Overall Score5.0/ 5
This hotel was located very close to 6th street (home to tons of bars and other nightlife activities and the famed Voodoo Donuts), about a 7 10 minute walk. The hotel staff was very hospitable, welcoming and had very kind and professional service. Beautiful hotel (relatively new), very modern chic, with the softest sheets I've experienced in a hotel in a while. Breakfast was on par with other Holiday Inn's. Overall, Great Experience!
