I have got to say that I have been to many other Holiday Inns and Holiday Inn Express hotels, but this was THE BEST one by far. This is a new property and you can tell by the modern day design of the interior. When you walk in the hotel at the entrance, you are greeted by kind, friendly, and very welcoming employees to the right and a nice television to watch to the left. I had breakfast each of the five mornings of my stay and was delighted with the selection. The cinnamon rolls were delicious, the cereal was excellent, and the variety of juices was very satisfying. The rooms were wonderful. This hotel has the new Holiday Inn beds, which are very comfortable. The interior of the room was very very spacious. I was told they have a suite that has a pullout with a separate bedroom, so this would have also been ideal if I were travelling with the family! There was a full kitchen with a stove, cabinets, and full size refrigerator! Great for lengthy stays like the one I had! There's a pool, jacuzzi, sports room, meeting room, and a business center with 3 desktop computers and one laser printer. If you're ever hungry for a snack, there's a gift shop next to the front desk which has ice cream, chips, chocolate, snacks, and a wide variety of chilled drinks! The housekeepers did a wonderful job cleaning up. I never felt disappointed with my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone! I was well rested and relaxed at this hotel!

I am a local resident of La Porte, and sad to say I do get into many aguement with my spouse. I do not feel the need to stay at my own house, during our arguements, so I usually stay at the Comfort Suites of La Porte. Well now the new Holiday Inn Express La Porte, recently opened, so I thought that I would give them a shot. I did not have a reservation, but the desk attendant did welcome me in with a Corporate rate since I am employed at a company near by. I would like to praise the desk because they always keep my room number and information private even when my spouse comes in looking for me. Also, the desk attendants were there whenever I need to get anything done, I originally planned on staying for 1 day and ended up staying for 2. The breakfast was your basic breakfast but I have no complaints. The in-door spa was relaxing, it was way to cold to use the pool, even though it was not the biggest pool. The room was spacious, and had beautiful furniture, with a flat screen tv.

I have stayed at several HI-Xpress during the past month, and this property is brand new. I expected the best, but was very disappointed. First of all, I did not book online and was given a "special" holiday rate of $10 more than the online rate. When I questioned the clerk, she said that was standard and the rate I got was a great value ($81, go figure???). The room was spacious and featured the new bedding and linens offered by many HI Express -- soooo nice. But the magnetic door keys did not work and we had to have them replaced twice in one day. Breakfast was the real disaster. We went to the Coffee Bar at 7:30 a.m. (breakfast began serving @ 6 a.m.). There were only 3 other people in the parlor. There were no plates, no milk, no juice, the "signature" cinnamon rolls were so hard we could not eat them and threw them in the trash. I asked the front desk (who happened to be reading a novel) to freshen the breakfast bar and all she did was put out more juice. I really feel like we were cheated considering we had to leave the hotel and eat breakfast elsewhere. There was only one bagel left, a couple slices of bread, and some over-ripe fruit. Upon checkout, we had to again interrupt the same front desk clerk from reading her book to check out. She was not friendly, even when I apologized for interrupting her (ha!!). I stay in LaPorte, TX often visiting family but will continue to stay at the Comfort Suites next door for a better value and full hot breakfast. (Not to mention the better service from the front desk.)
