I was in Frisco for a conference and we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express.

I was very impressed with how accommodating the staff was, they got me extra bedding without a hesitation.

They had FREE beer and Nachos for two of the days we were there. I was floored by this... I thought nothing was free.

I slept on a sofa bed, and it was comfortable. Rooms were clean. I appreciated the free Wifi.

Very reasonably priced, but I was a bit dissapointed with the hotel ammenities. On arrival, I was told there was no shuttle service on the week-end after 8PM on Friday. So the mall shopping I previously planned had to be changed. Also, the restaurant was only serving breakfast, and no other meals. They have a lounge, I was told, but it was being remodeled. There was a smaller shopping area within walking distance, and a few places to eat within about a mile or so. If you only need a place to sleep for a night, it's ok.

This hotel is the best price you can find in the Frisco/Plao area. So, I had a feeling I would run into a grumpy staff and low standards for a hotel room. I WAS WRONG! The Staff was so friendly, and the rooms were very clean. The only problem I had was that the outlet in the bathroom didn't work, but there was a place in the room with a mirror that worked just fine. In the morning, they had a wide selection of hot and cold items for breakfast and the coffee was above the hotel stereotype. I would recommend staying here if you need a place to stay for business.

I stay in lots of HIEs for business, and I'm always a little wary when they are still using the old HIE logo. That frequently means it's an older hotel, without some of the refinements that new HIEs contain.

That adequately describes this hotel. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is in a great area, surrounded by every kind of shopping and dining imaginable. But the whole hotel feels very dated. The furniture in my room was functional, but fairly beat up. The bathroom is small. The hallways just have the "look" of an older hotel.

With that said, there were really no functional issues with the hotel. It just feels dated.
