Good “on a budget” hotel
We enjoyed our stay at Holiday Inn Express Austin Downtown. The pros - it is in a convenient location, lots of restaurants within walking distance, the room was clean, bed very comfortable, breakfast delicious, staff friendly, affordable rates. Cons - some significant stains on the carpet in the hallways, some of our electrical outlets didn’t work in our room, the holders for the soap and shampoo dispensers we’re not actually attached to the wall. These things are not all that Important to me but might be to others. Overall a good hotel and we would stay there again if we return to Austin.

I was charged $80.96 more than my confirmation from Expedia showed my total to be. i asked the hotel employee why and I was told i would have to ask Expedia.. i do not appreciate being lied to. And furthermore, on Black Friday when I booked this hotel through Expedia, parking was said to be included at $20 per day but we had to pay each time we left and returned to the parking garage. This was my first time booking through Expedia and it will most certainly be my last.

I contacted Travelocity by Chat and communicated my complaint to Shakir who said he had to evaluate and assured me that he would e-mail me. He assured me that I would not have to followup but give him 24 hours. Well, it has been two days and no response. Am I being ignored?

The place was clean and the staff was friendly. The hotel was easy to find. The only complaint was the parking. You had to pay $40 for parking for one day stay. I thought that was very steep. All in all I had a great experience.
