This place is gross. It’s dirty and the staff wasn’t helpful at all. The heat wasn’t working in my room, there wasn’t another room available. At 8pm I called down for a blanket and was told that housekeeping left at 3pm and I would need to ask in the morning. I replied, “am I supposed to freeze overnight?” Then she put me on hold and told me to come to the front desk for a blanket. I DO NOT recommend this place. It also appears to be falling apart or under construction which made the outside very messy and dirty. My shower was dirty upon arrival, things were missing in my room, I just felt dirty and gross. I was in town for a convention and had no other choice. I would rather stay in my car

Dirty rooms, very expensive for the quality, loud
I stayed here for a conference and for the price I was expecting a decent stay and had a terrible room. The "King Suite" smelled dank and moldy on first entering. On inspection it had water damage on the walls and ceiling. The shower had pink and black mold embedded in the caulk. The grout was missing and tiles were cracked. I went back for another room and they showed me the suite on the opposite end of the hotel and it was in worse shape. It was late at night so I decided to stay. It also turns out that the Bauhaus across the street has an outdoor dance club that played full volume music until 2 am. The only plus was the bed was clean and comfortable and breakfast was decent.

We are very unhappy with this room. It was NOT the way your rooms looked online on the website. The bathroom is atrocious and is very unsafe to take a shower without at least one safety bar. We are seniors and it is very unsafe. The room looks like it is under construction and it was far from finished and therefore it should not have been allowed to be occupied.

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.
