Find someplace else
Pros:

The room was very spacious and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Pretty sure this place has bed bugs. Only stayed one night and woke up with bug bites in several places on my skin. I'd skip this place if I were you. Better to be safe than sorry.

Zentral gelegenes Hotel mit Defizite aber für einen Kurztrip in Ordnung.
Pros:

Die Lage zu zentralen Sehenswürdigkeiten war gut.
Auch das Personal war freundlich.
Ausreichend kostenlose Parkplätze vorhanden.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind sehr veraltet, Bett war sehr ausgelegrn und hat manchmal gequietscht, jedoch wird das Hotel momentan renoviert, sodass bald Besserung zu erwarten ist.
Frühstücksbuffet leider mit einer sehr geringen Auswahl und der Sitzbereich dort ist sehr eng, man hat kaum Platz.

The hotel was very pleasant with friendly staff and free, secure parking.
Pros:

The Holiday Inn was within walking distance of the River Walk district and Convention Center. Parking was free and in a safe enclosed lot. The room had a wonderful little kitchenette with microwave and mini fridge also.

Cons:

There wasn't anything I didn't like about the hotel. It was perfect and the staff were wonderful. My only issue was the nearby railroad tracks on the walk to the convention center that cross Commerce Street at this location. I was stopped by the train four times walking to the convention center. In fact, on the morning of the Alamo Marathon, I was stopped by both a freight train and Amtrak train parked on the tracks stretching a mile in either direction. I discovered a tunnel under the tracks about a quarter mile away on Montana Street and made it to the start of the marathon with only a few minutes to spare.
