10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, awesome friendly staff and great location!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

8/10 Good

"I really liked the hotel, Property is clean, has a weird set up because it is really two buildings/hotels and underground garage. 4 levels. Indigo and HIE hotel. I made my reservation with parking included but nobody realized it until I was leaving. Didn’t come down before 9:30 am so I didn’t get to try breakfast. The staff with experience is great and go out of their way to help, it is noticeable, because who the in-training receptionist are, is obvious can’t resolve anything. Location is great. I got a room with noisy air conditioner but they provide on your night stand “ear plugs” so you can sleep well. LOL"
