We were staying at this hotel for a business event for two days, before we moved on to a hotel of our choice. This was a basic, no frills hotel that I would give two-and-a-half stars at most. It was in a convenient location right off of the 281, but not a neighborhood we could feel safe walking around in at night.
We had a room with a king bed and the bed was comfortable and the pillows soft. But the room had a wall ac/furnace unit that rumbled very loudly when in use and that made controlling the room temp a bit difficult. It was always too cold or too hot. There was a mini fridge in the room, which was handy, and a coffeemaker and a microwave.
There was a small pool and a large jacuzzi, both of which were busy on the Saturday night we were there.
The staff was friendly and the free breakfast was decent. It was an okay hotel for a fast business trip, but definitely not luxurious by any means. Not that anyone expects a Holiday Inn Express to be luxurious.
We paid $84 a night for our room with a company discount, but the rack rate was $134. I would never pay $134 for this room. At $84, it was reasonable enough but via Priceline we found another hotel, a four-star, for $88 and stayed there the last two nights of our vacation for a much better experience.
