Front Desk was Great, that was it, as the room was over priced for the status of the motel, yes motel. The bathroom had been redone and you could definitely tell that Holiday Inn saved money by cutting corners. The toilet was against the wall with just enough room to raise the lid without scraping the wall. The hallways were sloped and cracks were covered with the carpet. It was a last minute choice, but never again and will never recommend it.
Clean and Affordable

I stayed here over the weekend and was pleasently surprised. I was concerned when I saw the outside but the inside of the hotel was very nice. The room was clean and comfortable and the right price. We even had a sliver of a view of the riverwalk. To get to the heart of the riverwalk, it was about a 10 block walk. Not too bad. We also parked directly across the street for $10 ($5 per day) I would stay here again.
Nice hotel, away from activity

We stayed here over Easter. Disappointed that the pool wasn't open (didn't see the online trvel website note that it would be closed), but they did fill it on Friday afternoon, and continued all thru Saturday. NOT heated, so girls weren't in more than their toes, which was disappointing because living in PA we were looking forward to some swim time in TX. The hotel is away from the hustle and bustle, if that's what you're looking for. The RiverWalk proper is right across the street and a good 15 minute hike until you reach a restaurant, but also nice if you just want to take a walk and not constantly running into people. Our room was half-way down a very long hallway, right in the middle of the 2 sets of elevators, facing the pool. We had 2 double beds, which were very comfortable. I have a horrible time sleeping away from home, but not this trip! The room was large enough for 4, including 2 teen girls. Very quiet and sound-proof. Bathroom is small and little room to sit anything on the small shelf behind the toilet. There is a nice ledge in the tub area for shampoos, etc. Big, fluffy towels. Remote control for the air/heat, which was great. Staff is amazingly friendly and helpful, even as you're just passing thru, wanting to know if you need anything or any help. We had the breakfast buffet one morning. A little much I thought at $11.95/person, especially for what was offered. For $9.95 you could have the continental buffet, which only omitted the eggs, bacon/sausage and melons. But it was convenient and our server, Bo, was great! Dislikes: what I find in most, not enough outlets! paying to park, no frig, no microwave.

This hotel is barely near the river (river or puddle, you be the judge). You could walk but it is almost a mile from the river center. The Trolley is the Blue route which is a very odd route and often slow and has the most inconvenient time for all the trolleys. I went to a conference there and though I paid way to much (with the conference discount) I hope the normal rate was not too much more. The decor was modern but the room was very small. The bathroom was very small as well with very little counter space and very poor water pressure. The worst thing was the parking! There was plenty available but it cost money to park, since this place is far from the river walk I don't understand why is cost money. The parking garage is very small with only one lane to go in and out. (in and out in one single lane, felt dangerous). Very poor parking arrangements to actually cost you money. Staff was pleasant. I would not recommend this hotel.
