What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Palestine by IHG, travellers frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff, generally clean accommodations, and a convenient, quiet location that feels safe for families and work crews.

Many find the beds comfortable, though some rooms feel dated or small, with occasional musty odors or noise from thin walls. Breakfast is widely appreciated for variety and convenience, but a few guests encountered cold or poorly prepared items on certain mornings. Facilities include an outdoor pool; guests noted ongoing renovations, parking that can be crowded with work trucks, a high pet fee, and an out-of-service hot tub. Expect a straightforward, friendly stay with mostly solid basics and occasional hiccups.

The breakfast was very good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We didn't like that the mattress was old and squeaky and the sheets were not white and looked old, thin and dirty. There was also an odor in the room we couldn't get rid of, probably from the many dirty Spectrum workers who routinely stay at this hotel. We weren't aware of how many workers the hotel would be filled with when we booked the stay. The parking was filled every night with construction trucks & trailers, leaving us with hardly any parking.

Love this location … it’s SAFE! Not afraid to park our rig or our personal vehicles. Quiet!!! Showers have good WATER PRESSURE. And the water is HOT.. we work outside. Our days are long. This is very important to us. Thank you so much. Will be back again and again.

Undergoing construction and parking lot full of discarded furniture plus hanging plastic in hallways gave an eerie unsafe feeling. Staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious

So at check in I noticed the room needs alot of updating. It had a smell the carpet has alot of stains and like an hour later we noticed roaches in the bathroom. We had to pack everything up and pick everything up off the floor to make sure we didn't take any back with us. Needless to say I've stayed in alot of hotels and this is the worst experience I've ever had. I figured for as much as the room cost it should be semi decent. Not the case.

All of the employees were so friendly and welcoming. This hotel was extremely clean and organized. Our room was well appointed but the furniture was scratched and there were handles missing on the drawers. Breakfast was nice: egg and cheese omelette, bacon/sausage, potatoes, fruit, yogurt, cereal, boiled eggs, toast, bagels, and a pancake machine. In-line the waffle machine, the pancakes cook very quickly. You receive 2 in under a minute. Overall good experience.

After staying at an IHG property in New Braunfels, which had a spacious room and restaurant quality food, we were very disappointed with the IHG hotel in Palestine. The room was clean but cramped, and the breakfast was terrible (eggs burnt, sausage appeared undercooked, oatmeal watery). This property needs an update!

$75 per pet. I paid more in pet fee than for my room. The walls are very thin, the room next to mine had a cough, sounded like he was in the room with me. Stray dogs in the parking lot at night, howling and barking. Stayed 2 nights without sleep, will not stay again. No, I didn’t bother the desk, these are things they can do nothing about.

Breakfast on Wednesday was ice cold, ran out of potatoes by 7:45 am, cold, day old coffee. Today was better but mentioned yesterday to older lady at the front desk and her only comment was “I wasn’t here yesterday and that’s the reason”. Not, I’m sorry that happened or any form of apology! Not management material in my opinion. Bed and room were great and clean but that front desk lady and a cold breakfast were a total disappointment. Won’t stay there again.

Would rate a 5, but was really annoyed by having to post a $50 "breakage fee". Then had to make 2 extra trips to the front desk to report "as found" materiel discrepencies, so I would not be charged for them. If a guest is going to be posted for a "breakage fee", the property should be certified PERFECT prior to guest occupancy. So much for Holiday Inn Express and advertised and implied guest intelligence.
