We arrived at the Holiday Inn at 5:00pm and purchased a room with 2 queen beds for $119. We thought that was a little high for this area, but agreed to the price because Holiday Inn has delivered a consistently good experience. However, after getting into our room, we decided to look at other hotels around the area and found that the Fairfield Inn is $20 less, as well as Hampton Inn. Then we looked on the internet to see how much they were advertising rooms for at THIS hotel. We found the price to be $99. We called customer service to find out why our hotel room cost was $20 more than what is advertised and were told that it was because we didn't have a reservation. We could have sat in the lobby, got on the computer, and made a reservation for $99 at 7:00pm and saved $20, versus walking in at 5:00pm. URGH!!!

Also, the pool is opaque, gross, and nasty. The hot tub has floaties in it. There is hair on the bathroom floor. We will not be staying at this Holiday Inn ever again, nor any other Holiday Inn.

This is a very nice, new hotel in an excellent location. The mall and many restaurants are very close (a Logans Roadhouse is just across the parking lot). My room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The bed was good, but not great like most Holiday Inn Express properties -- I was surprised that this one did not have the new bedding that almost all others have. Breakfast was typical for Holiday Inn Express.

I have also stayed at the nearby Hampton Inn. I will likely stay there again next time for their superior beds.

This hotel is just a few months old so it is in very good shape. I believe it is alittle pricey. The continental breakfast was slightly above average. It is located within walking distance of shopping and dining. I would recomend the MGM Elegante for the same price. It is an old Embassy suite ,(right next to the Mall of Abilene) still with the free drinks and made to order breakfast. and larger rooms.
