My stay at the Holiday Inn Express Powless House was okay overall, but nothing stood out enough for a higher rating. The location is extremely convenient, especially being so close to BAMC, and the staff was polite and helpful. The room was generally clean, but a bit dated and could use some minor maintenance. Breakfast was standard—good enough to start the day, but nothing special.
It wasn’t a bad stay, just average. Decent for a short trip if you need to be near the hospital, but there’s room for improvement.

perfect for staying at JBSA. This hotel is "on post" but you need seperate clearance/sponsorship to get through the other gates to the main JBSA/Sam Houston. It's easy to do, but important to know.
