Stayed over Halloween weekend 09 and had a very good experience. Rooms are very clean and nice with some more modern appointments. Location is good for easy access to downtown by car/taxi or a it's 20-30 min walk . Service seemed fine although we had no need for anything after check in. The business center was free and had easy... more

I had a lot of trouble finding a hotel in Austin for this particular saturday night. The Holiday Inn was a good base for our couple of days in Austin on the plus side it is right on the lake and park on the negative there is the interstate. The hotel is dated but everything was adequate but nothing more. more

This older hotel is a mixed bag. The hotel is listed on many websites as being "downtown" but it is in a remote area next to the highway that is not very convenient to the more central downtown area where you can find the Capitol building, museums, and restaurants. I booked this hotel thinking I could walk to the sights... more

Small bathrooms, but this is a good location and I enjoyed my stay. Try to get room away from interstate traffic. more

Great location to downtown but a little distance to Texas Univ and Texas State Museum (best State Museum I have ever visited). We walked to downtown, enjoyed the river walk but needed car/taxi for other trips. Saxon Pub- a must for genuine Texas music. Small, intimate with great seating. Joe, the owner, does it right. The hotel was ample, decent... more

Our plan was to remind them of our request when we checked in, but we forgot. We ended up with a view into the parking garage. It was late so we... more

When I saw pictures of this hotel online, I thought it would be centrally located and nice & that we could walk downtown easily. Not so. While the rooms were clean, the free parking was fine, the amenities were OK and I liked the fact that the walking path is accessible out the back door, it is clearly a dated... more

I attended SuperComputing'08 in Austin and booked this hotel for a government rate through the conference website. After a long day at work, then a 4 hour flight, I failed to pay close enough attention to the paperwork when I signed in and was charged a different than previously agreed upon rate. Upon check out, when I realized my error,... more

Pros: Low cost, right on trail if you are willing to walk to attractions(bats),etc. Free parking and clean rooms. Good business center and decent pool(not really lake view) Free internet. Cons: Noise from highway. Beware that the lower cost rooms all face I-35. Staff was less than helpful on this. Gave us higher floor, but put us right next to... more
