Disliked: Amenities
The room was fine for the price and location, but the front desk was closed, which was EXTREMELY inconvenient for someone traveling with 3 heavy bags, as I had to walk about a half a block to check in at the other hotel. The reason I chose to checkout after 1 night is the treadmills don't work, and 6 days would have been to long of a stay with no cardio. The Bellman was friendly, and reached out to another hotel to allow me to use their gym, but this was way too inconvenient, considering the length of the stay. The hotel provided me with a free dinner coupon for the inconvenience. But their are TOO MANY inconveniences here to make this a choice for someone coming half way across the country.

The room was clean. The ice machine on the 2nd floor not working. I was here one month ago and the machine was not working. The front desk has now moved to another part of the building. It looks like the adjacent hotel and the Inn are now sharing front desks. Two separate sets of elevators to get you to your room. It is nice to have concierge service for your cars.

Very clean room. Convenient walking to many places. Great check in service. Breakfast way too many people, shortage of food and breakfast area was very warm. Not much fruit and what was there was rotten (apples only). The only disappointment of our stay.

Very polite and prodessional front desk. Checking in and out was super easy. Wasnt able to try their breakfast, but i read that they serve hot food which is a plus. The hotel was a couple blocks away from drink and food options which was great, but there were noticeable homeless people very close to the property which was my only concern during my stay.

Super disappointed that the “incidental fees” ended up being the same as the cost of the deposit. Very unethical and dishonest. 2 other holiday Inns I stayed at in Texas during my stay did not do that. For 1 night, the total cost was almost 300 USD, which is not reasonable.
