I really enjoyed my stay at the Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake. The central location made it super convenient to visit popular spots like the State Capitol and LBJ Presidential Library, both just a short drive away. The hotel itself has undergone a renovation, which freshened up the lobby and restaurant, but there were still a few quirks—like elevator issues. Overall, the staff were friendly and the river walk right outside was a highlight for me.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Holiday Inn Austin - Town Lake. The location was definitely a highlight, close to downtown and along Lady Bird Lake, but the experience had some serious downsides. My room was cramped and not as clean as I hoped, with worn-down carpets and some forgotten items from prior guests. The staff was friendly, but communication could be improved, especially when it came to specific guest issues.
