Would stay again
Only complaint was that the bar next door was loud until 2 am every night. Nothing the hotel could really do about it, just might want to change rooms if you are sensitive to sounds. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great location for walking to a football game.

Good “on a budget” hotel
We enjoyed our stay at Holiday Inn Express Austin Downtown. The pros - it is in a convenient location, lots of restaurants within walking distance, the room was clean, bed very comfortable, breakfast delicious, staff friendly, affordable rates. Cons - some significant stains on the carpet in the hallways, some of our electrical outlets didn’t work in our room, the holders for the soap and shampoo dispensers we’re not actually attached to the wall. These things are not all that Important to me but might be to others. Overall a good hotel and we would stay there again if we return to Austin.

Susan

I was charged $80.96 more than my confirmation from Expedia showed my total to be. i asked the hotel employee why and I was told i would have to ask Expedia.. i do not appreciate being lied to. And furthermore, on Black Friday when I booked this hotel through Expedia, parking was said to be included at $20 per day but we had to pay each time we left and returned to the parking garage. This was my first time booking through Expedia and it will most certainly be my last.
