The surrounding property of the hotel was clean. Aside from some non-working light fixtures and I noticed some hornets nests and infestation of crickets I believe it was decent

I did not like that the safety entrance to the pool was not working. So anyone could have walked in had they tried to open the gate. I did not like that the pool was not being cleaned form all the debris that was falling in. Including all the crickets. I noticed not all of the lights surrounding the pool were working, this made it difficult to navigate the outside and again, unsafe. For my bathroom, I noticed some substances on the walls, including hair. The bath tub had red marks probably from the prior guest and it looked unsanitary. Aside, from this I enjoyed the Dove products and the organization of the towels and closet. The main room, was for the most part clean. I found no big issues with it aside from stains on the bed that appeared unsanitary. I enjoyed the tv channel list and WiFi password instructions. I was staying for a total of 3 nights and a day. The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. The continental breakfast was very nice, had plenty of variety and was clean and organized. The lobby always looked fresh.i I hadn’t noticed the printer and computers that were available, however that was a nice touch. I rate my overall stay a 3 out of 5. I would still give holiday Inn express another chance to fix these concerns of mine.

We have stayed here several times as our daughter attends Texas State University. This is our go to hotel for the area. The hotel is quiet and clean and the staff is always friendly and personable! On our last visit there were no bath towels, however, this was easily resolved by a visit to the front desk. Will definitely continue to stay here when visiting our daughter.

Spent over $200 on a room and the pull out sofa of the couch was broken. The door to the room squeaked so loud. Just the quality did not equal the price
