Great Stay
I was impressed at how clean and neat the lobby and room was. I even enjoyed the use of Dove soaps in the room which I have never used and really liked. The pool was beautiful and the breakfast was great. Didn’t like the paid parking garage, too far down, but overall would definitely recommend for any getaway.

Great place to stay if you want to be in walking distance of main attractions, Capital building about 15 mins walk. 6th Street and bars and music 5mins. Hotel is what you'd expect for its level. But staff were helpful and the whole place was spotless. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. Austin does have a homeless problem and dodging them is near impossible. But what major city doesn't, didn't encounter any problems with them. Very young crowd mainly, but still fun for the over 40s.

Great reasonably priced hotel
We had an excellent stay at the Holiday Inn in Austin! The hotel was very clean and fresh, the staff were lovely and responsive, the pool area was tidy and in good shape, and it was a better continental breakfast than a lot of hotels I’ve stayed in. In regards to other reviews noting it—yes, the area of town where this hotel is has a notable homeless population. Nobody bothered us at all while walking to and from, and we never felt in any way unsafe. If you are generally afraid of homeless people, maybe you won’t like it here (or in downtown Austin in general) but typically if you respect others they will respect you. It was not an issue for us.
