Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown University
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:"Great location, wonderful staff, soft sheets!"
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!
