I booked a room for 6 people and get charged extra for that many people and there are only 3 towels in the room. Why do hotels do that? I always have to go ask for more. So irritating. Be prepared for the amount of people expected in the room. They also did not have any more bath towels available at the desk so we had to use small towels.

The sound coming out of the overhead system was loud, and competed with the television playing loudly in the lobby. Computer lacked the ability to function, was unable to perform a search for critical information due to wifi being unavailable.The attendant at the front desk did not complete a reset or reboot to reestablish a connection.

The service was excellent, but do not recommend if you’re a light sleeper, because there as active train track with a rail crossing right behind the hotel. The train passes by every hour or so and blows the horn when passing by the rail crossing. It’s the only thing we didn’t like about our stay.

I did not like that the safety entrance to the pool was not working. So anyone could have walked in had they tried to open the gate. I did not like that the pool was not being cleaned form all the debris that was falling in. Including all the crickets. I noticed not all of the lights surrounding the pool were working, this made it difficult to navigate the outside and again, unsafe. For my bathroom, I noticed some substances on the walls, including hair. The bath tub had red marks probably from the prior guest and it looked unsanitary. Aside, from this I enjoyed the Dove products and the organization of the towels and closet. The main room, was for the most part clean. I found no big issues with it aside from stains on the bed that appeared unsanitary. I enjoyed the tv channel list and WiFi password instructions. I was staying for a total of 3 nights and a day. The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. The continental breakfast was very nice, had plenty of variety and was clean and organized. The lobby always looked fresh.i I hadn’t noticed the printer and computers that were available, however that was a nice touch. I rate my overall stay a 3 out of 5. I would still give holiday Inn express another chance to fix these concerns of mine.

We have stayed here several times as our daughter attends Texas State University. This is our go to hotel for the area. The hotel is quiet and clean and the staff is always friendly and personable! On our last visit there were no bath towels, however, this was easily resolved by a visit to the front desk. Will definitely continue to stay here when visiting our daughter.
