Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

8/10 Good
"The room was great. The only thing I will say is checking in they ask your reason for staying and that made me kind of uncomfortable. My partner and I were just doing a weekend over night trip to go to Alamo draft house and it just seemed invasive. They also asked about my marital status which I also thought was weird. A note on the elevators is that the one on the pool side tower. Left lift seemed to not be functioning correctly and had us waiting for a long time to get to the lobby as it seemed to not want to go down. I didn’t see any indication of elevator maintenance check which I usually do in most public elevators framed inside the lift."
