Here are the good points of our 11 day stay:
- Staff is extremely friendly
- Great free breakfast thanks to Michelle who works the kitchen!
- Good quiet sleep and comfortable bed
- Nice large king room
- Good location near family
Bad points:
- ALL 3 treadmills were down. My wife and I use a treadmill daily and one reason I picked this location was their larger fitness center. Would have been nice for them to offer access to YMCA
- Washer and dryer out of order - not good for 11 day stay
- Inconsistent housekeeping
- Cold lobby - had to wear extra clothing for breakfast, thermostat showing 63 degrees one day. They kept the main doors open at times during our stay
- room safe didn't work
- elevators needed cleaning
Will call ahead to make sure Fitness Center equipment is functional before booking again

Booked a queen suite for a night. Staff was helpful..room was spacious and clean. There were obvious signs that an old motel went through renovation and turned into Holiday Inn Express. Cost. Prepaid booking for 161 plus taxes.
I give it 5 stats for the location and walking distance access to restaurants, HEB grocery, gas station and even a emergency medical center. 20 to 30 minutes drive some.nature preserve and breweries in Dripping Springs.
Breakfast was limited. Expected boiled eggs, potatoes in some form like hash or wedges, some form of sausage, but none of this was served. Instead we got scrambled eggs, kolaches that were stiff.
Best part of the stays was free costa coffee freshly ground and brewed from the machine on the lobby/breakfast area.

Very clean. Staff extremely friendly. Coffee hot. Pool was closed for the season 😭 and for some reason we had a hearing impaired room. Wow. Great to know about. Unfortunately it seemed theses rooms have very thin walls. It may be the whole hotel, but I could hear my neighbors conversations
