Categories

Cleanliness
4.6
Multiple guests reported musty/mildew smells, wet carpet from a leaking unit, hair on the bathroom floor and ceiling damage — cleanliness emerged as a clear negative in several stays.
Service
9.2
Front desk staff were repeatedly described as friendly and helpful, accommodating room changes and offering discounts; however there is one major negative report of poor response and no refund after a water outage.
Location
9.2
Guests noted a convenient, quiet location with walkable amenities (e.g., nearby Walgreens) and easy access for events — location was consistently positive.
Room Quality
5.4
Mixed reports: some rooms were comfortable and spacious, but others had musty odors, leaking window units, wet carpet, aging fixtures, and AC or ceiling issues — room quality is inconsistent.
Amenities
6.8
Breakfast was praised as fresh and good, but the pool was noted as poorly kept and the pull-out couch was uncomfortable, indicating uneven amenity quality.
Value for Money
7.4
Mixed value: guests appreciated convenient location and occasional discounts offered for issues; however major service failures (no water, unresolved refund) detract from perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast was specifically mentioned as fresh and good; otherwise F&B received limited mention and no major complaints.
Overall Experience
8.4
Most stays were pleasant with friendly staff and clean rooms after room changes, but several severe issues (musty rooms, water outage with poor resolution) produced mixed experiences — overall guests trend positive but results vary.

Pros:

The lady at the front was very nice. There were issues with the room not opening and she accommodated the best she could by putting us in another room. The room itself did have a vague smell of mildew though.

Pros:

We liked the hotel very much but we were put in 1st room that smelled terribly musty and realized the window unit was somehow leaking and carpet was very wet - they changed rooms for us and 2nd was great! The maid knew carpet was wet when we talked next morning and they should never have let people in musty room

Pros:

We were in town for a wedding and the place was conveniently located, clean and quiet. I needed to grab a few items from the store and found that there was Walgreens within a walkable distance which was very convenient. We were able to check in early and all-in-all it was a pleasant stay.

Ok Place To Stay
Pros:

Stay was nice. Front desk crew was very friendly and helpful. Pool was not well kept. Rooms were super spacious and beds were fine. Pull out couch felt like blankets on metal bars. The pool and pull out couch were my only issues. Nice and clean room, great customer service.

Usually stay here, probably won't anymore
Pros:

We are from Louisiana and normally stay at this particular hotel whenever we travel to Houston to see the Astros play. We have never had an issue before. We got into town an hour early and asked to check in but room wasn't ready. It was still ready a half hour before check-in, which I was grateful for because we were anxious to get where we were going. I'm not sure what kind of system is in place to notify housekeeping that guests have arrived into a certain room, but a few minutes of getting into our room, we heard a knock on the door and housekeeping came through so quickly we didn't even have a chance to say we were in there. Otherwise, the room was clean and bed was super comfortable. Everything was in proper working order except for the strobe light in the shower when it was turned on. We did not stay for breakfast as we were heading out early to get back home. The area is quiet and parking is convenient.

Uh…no
Pros:

Very old building in need of updates and repair. Musty smell woke me several times. Ceiling in bathroom falling apart. Lots of hair on bathroom floor. Looked as if someone wiped their nose on wall next to bed. If we had checked in earlier, we probably would’ve left and gone to another hotel.
The lady at the front desk was lovely and helpful.

Pros:

Terrible Experience – No Water, No Support, No Refund

Our stay was ruined due to severe water damage at the property. We had no running water for the entire stay, which made basic needs impossible to meet. Even worse, the staff's response was completely unacceptable — they were unhelpful, evasive, and offered no real solutions. They promised a refund within 4 days, but we never received a single cent.

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had. I would give this place zero stars if I could. Absolutely unacceptable.

Pros:

My stay at Holiday Inn Express was nice but the services with Expedia thru hotels.com was awful. They booked my stay for one day and my reservation was for 2nights 3 days. They did not want to make the change of arrival date at all but insisted that I pay $150.
