I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn in Austin, Texas while attending a real estate conference, and I have to say, it was a fantastic surprise. My expectations were pretty modest—I just needed a place with parking and a bed for the night—but they really went above and beyond.
The included hot breakfast was a standout. Not only did they have a wide selection—think eggs, bacon, Danish pastries, oatmeal, and more—but the staff actually brought coffee refills to the table and cleared plates like you’d expect in a sit-down restaurant. It was a level of service I didn’t see coming from a hotel breakfast that I figured would just be grab-and-go.
Everything was clean, the staff was friendly, and the concierge was super helpful throughout my stay. Honestly, despite seeing some low online reviews beforehand, this Holiday Inn really exceeded expectations and I’d absolutely stay here again. Five stars all the way!
