Great place to stay if you want to be in walking distance of main attractions, Capital building about 15 mins walk. 6th Street and bars and music 5mins. Hotel is what you'd expect for its level. But staff were helpful and the whole place was spotless. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. Austin does have a homeless problem and dodging them is near impossible. But what major city doesn't, didn't encounter any problems with them. Very young crowd mainly, but still fun for the over 40s.

Great reasonably priced hotel
We had an excellent stay at the Holiday Inn in Austin! The hotel was very clean and fresh, the staff were lovely and responsive, the pool area was tidy and in good shape, and it was a better continental breakfast than a lot of hotels I’ve stayed in. In regards to other reviews noting it—yes, the area of town where this hotel is has a notable homeless population. Nobody bothered us at all while walking to and from, and we never felt in any way unsafe. If you are generally afraid of homeless people, maybe you won’t like it here (or in downtown Austin in general) but typically if you respect others they will respect you. It was not an issue for us.

Tub/shower didn't work properly. TV remote was sticky. Too many valet parking floors with minimal use that I had to drive through before I was able to park. Sausage included with breakfast was rubbery, tough, and tasted awful.

Near everything. Nice, friendly staff. Clean facility. Good breakfast, but you better be on time. They shut it down, fast. The hotel wouldn't accept my reservation from a Third Party, twice. It got turned down for no reason. The hotel rate was considerably higher than with a Third Party booking, but it would not accept it. Eventually, it did from another booking agency, but I'd rather not used that one. 30 bucks for parking, ouch.
