Holiday Inn Express Austin Airport gets mixed reviews.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Austin Airport

Austin, TX 78741
(512) 386-7600; (800) 833-1516; www.hiexpress.com

The words upscale and Holiday Inn rarely share the same sentence. The Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites may be the exception, depending who you speak to.

Parking is free, pets not allowed, 80 suites, in-room microwave, refrigerator, coffeemaker. Complimentary Internet access available.

Swimming pool, fitness room and free continental breakfast.

Depending on the luck of the draw, your room could be clean and spacious or otherwise.

I have not stayed at this hotel but as Austin hotels go, I'm of the opinion this Holiday Inn works for a very specific kind of Austin traveler.

Don't expect Texana or any kind of uniqueness whatsoever. The staff is not known for attentiveness and it's considered pricey.

When I talk to folks who have stayed here I get everything from OK to never again. The never agains usually say they expected more for the money.

Those who give it the OK rating are not overly critical folks who consider a good trip one where a mugging doesn't occur.

My conclusion about this Holiday Inn Express is simple. It's a Holiday Inn. What more needs to be said?
