What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin North Central by IHG, guests consistently praise the friendly staff and hot, plentiful breakfasts, while noting dated interiors, recurring elevator outages, and noise from I-35 and room A/C units.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many guests found rooms very clean, but recurring reports cite strong odors (musty or urine), stained furnishings and carpets, and occasional pests. The location is right off I-35 with heavy road construction complicating access; several guests felt the surrounding area was sketchy, though lighting and fencing helped some feel safer. Rooms offer comfortable beds but feel dated, and some units had maintenance issues with HVAC, showers, or light control. Overall, expect solid basics in an older property with a few operational hiccups.

Lift was not working, however it not bothered us as we stayed on 1st floor. The main concern was no bodylotion and toothpaste.

We arrived at 2:30 pm expecting to check-in a little earlier. However, the front desk clerk told me they were renovating and we had to wait until 3:00 pm. We ended up checking-in until almost 4:00 pm and then they gave us a room on the third floor. No access to elevators! When we got to our room, it smelled bad. We requested another room and luckily the cleaning crew told us they just had finished cleaning another one. Finally, we were able to get in and rest after a long day driving.

The lobby lacks air conditioning. The air conditioning in the room was excessively noisy. It was not the best part of town so I was grateful that the parking lot was very well lit, however, also, it was impossible to fully close the blackout shades so the room was very bright from the well lit parking lot.

When checking in they ask for a $100 deposit that’s not shared on ihg website and should be especially when booking 3rd party or even on the ihg app. The elevator was down and we’re stuck on having to get an upper floor going up and down the stairs the whole stair.

Everyone was really nice & informative. They answerred any and all of my questions, I had DOVE in the room to use at my disposal which is a plus and the breakfast was hot & plentiful every morning! My only complaint is the parking, its literally not enough spaces. But dont let that overshadow anyone from coming, this place was very clean.

The good: The staff was friendly and helpful, check In was quick and effortless. My room had good A/C, the TV worked perfectly, the bathroom was nice and clean. The bad: My bed had some strange stains on the sheet, which wasn't discovered until the next day and the one side chair had a dark stain on the fabric, I don't want to know what that was, seriously gross! The carpet had white stains, like paint or drywall residue. The hotel is right off the freeway,which is under construction and just a nightmare. There is nothing around this hotel to see or do, its just a place to sleep in for one night and move on to something better.

Good, clean and good breakfast. However, housekeeping did not come clean our room after the first night that we stayed there. Had to attend a wedding and left the room at around 2 pm. We took of the no disturb sign before we left. The housekeeping staff did not come and clean. Was a little disappointed to come to a messy room.

Overall for what we needed it for and the price : one overnight stay, it was decent. The room was mostly clean but the room smelled musty and of dust. You could see dust in the corners. I would recommend for future guests that you leave the ac running so air is circulating and the room doesn’t smell. The breakfast: at least it was something. But it was perfect circled premade eggs and looked like boxed cinnamon rolls. Again, for the price paid and only staying one night, it was fine. Very friendly staff and easy check in.

Poor customer service and cleanliness. The first room they gave us smells like someone urinated all over the carpet and when I told them, the front desk said "I know. Let me move you to another room." So if you are aware of that already, why assign that room to a customer?

I went to check in around 2:30 am after 5 hours of driving. I was extremely tired and wanted rest. I went to my room, the key didn’t work. I had a lot of luggage with me and had to tote it back down stairs. Told the front desk. She went up to check and told me to wait down stairs. She told me all was good just for me to go back up and get again my new keys didn’t work. Again back down with my luggage. She assigned me a new room. Well the new room had one night assigned to it so when I left during the next day, my key once again didn’t let me in room. The room smelled so bad of mold, my AC Kept making noises as if it was rising out side. I really want a refund on this terrible experience. I’ve never had a bad experience with a hotel.

Parking was fine, staff was very sweet and helpful. The area around the hotel was under construction but it also had a lot of people just “gathering” and hanging out in the parking lot. We felt uneasy about leaving our vehicle overnight. We also initially received a room that smelt AWFUL. They made it right and switched us when we called down but based off their reaction when we explained the smell- I believe they know it was there and we’re not going to further inspect/ resolve the problem.

We stayed In room 415, the sofa bed is extremely old, you can feel the springs, and it has a very unpleasant smell, not to mention it has strange stains. Something I want to mention is that when I went down to grab something for breakfast (since you include it in the price) on Sunday at 9:27 am, there was almost no food left. And when I say almost nothing, it was just cereal, yogurt, and some leftover potatoes. Breakfast is served until 10 am, and several families, including us, arrived around 9:30. The ladies who were ‘cleaning’ the area said there was no more food (with a really bad attitude by the way) I’m sorry, but breakfast is supposed to be served until 10 am. Another thing to mention, the I-35 freeway is under construction, and if you’re coming from south to north, there is no access to the hotel. You have to take the next exit on the frontage road, which, by the way, takes about 10 to 20 minutes because everything is under construction in that area.
