Not great for the price
The room was kind of gross. There was chipped paint, rusted bars in the bathroom. There was no towel bar to hang a hand towel other than the rack above the toilet. No shelf at all in the shower, so we had to set our toiletry items on the floor of the shower. The shower water got warm but never hot. The walls in our room were pure white with zero art or wall-hangings, not even one framed painting or artwork to look at. On the plus side, the front staff was nice, breakfast was good, and I liked having a fridge and microwave in the room. But overall I feel the room was way overpriced. We paid $819 for 3 nights which seemed outrageous for what we got. Maybe it’s justified because of the location, but still a disappointment, as I’ve stayed in many Holiday Inn Express hotels, and I’ve never seen one this run-down.
Upgrades are needed
Nowhere to set our shower items other than on the floor
Chipped paint
Very unsightly rust or some kind of gunky build-up

The hotel is in terrible shape. Falling apart. Extremely dirty, grimy, disgusting. The floors in the hotel room were "sitcky". Shower had no pressure. Not clean - human hair all over the place. curtains were threadbare. The smell in the hallway WAS mold. Everything about the hotel is completely run down, The free breakfast was so bad!!!! For instance, omelets were runny. Bread was stale. The coffee was absolutely terrible. The cream was even curdled. The front entrance was a mess - from the storm. But still. The storm was a relatively long time ago.....we will never stay there again!!!! They should refund everyone their money to safe face and reputation. This hotel gives Holiday Inn (an iconic US brand -especially for travels) a bad name and a black eye.

Not great
It was decent but not great. Parking was a challenge with construction, room and AC smelled moldy, loud club across the street made it dificult to sleep the first night, shower water preasure non-existant. Updates needed all around, but it seems they are working on it. Staff were friendly but sparse. Amenities again decent, not great. Location not ideal for George Bush Convention center.

Property is old and tired. Location is good. Staff friendly and helpful. If you get a bedroom at the back of the hotel beware there is a nightclub (BAUHAUS) that blasts out music until 3am in the morning. Bring ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones or you are not sleeping.

The bathroom door did not close right, the mattress for the sofa was super thin very uncomfortable. Not enough water pressure when changing from bathtub setting to shower head. However, it was a very spacious suite, overall clean, and convenient location.

The location was great and convenient. The property had a lot of issues of water damage from the storm. The flooring of my room and hallway was unleveled. The hotel had many unfinished projects for renovation. The breakfast was good with different options.

The stay was okay. The room had an old moldy smell, the floor was uneven which was odd. While the location was good, there needs to be security or something. There was broken glass in the parking lot and people that were about to fight across from the building. The building was not the nicest looking on the inside but for the price its managable.

The first night was a bit rough and the first room had a terrible leak from the ceiling and smelled of mold and mildew. We were switched to a different room and our toilet did not work and it also smelled of mildew but no other rooms to switch to until the morning and after all day traveling and super late check out we waited to be switched. The next room was fine and no real issues but was not on the same floor as the construction that was going on for renovation.

Overall, the staff were excellent and very attentive and helpful. The provided breakfast was also good. The issues with the hotel are that it’s a little old looking and some parts of the ceiling are kind of falling apart (it looked like they were working on fixing this while we were there). We occasionally would find bugs in the bathroom (mostly pill bugs and once a small roach). The pool also wasn’t great, the hot tub jets didn’t work and the water wasn’t warm. Overall you get what you pay for - it does the job nicely for events at the convention center next door at an affordable price.
