Nothing special
My husband & I stayed at this Holiday Inn for one night recently. We slept alright & felt safe (that's mostly what we look for in a hotel on a short trip like this), but the hotel is showing it's age and just wasn't that inspiring.
The rooms have been slightly updated, but the decor was not current and felt slightly worn. The room still had a slow-loading tube television (instead of a flat panel). The fact that the TV was outdated was proudly broadcast by the flyer placed on top of our TV promoting the Nintendo GameCube, a gaming system that was discontinued 5 years ago!
The bed was mostly comfortable, with 4 small pillows. The bedroom area & most of the bathroom seemed clean, but the bathtub cleaning was not up to par. The toilet had a water-saving feature that seemed efficient but which was excessively loud -- any time one was flushed within a few rooms of us, we heard it.
Other than the flushing noise -- and hearing our neighbor's TV a few times -- the hotel was quiet. Though the hotel is a tall tower very near a major highway & the airport, we didn't hear any traffic noise, thankfully. And, they have free parking -- a definite advantage over staying downtown!
The staff was nondescript; they were a little slow at checking us in & out, but not too bad.
The location is just fine, near the airport, easily accessed off the highway, across the road from a nice mall & near quite a few choices for local dining. There are lots of hotels in this area. The Holiday Inn wasn't bad, but next time we choose to stay in north San Antonio, I think we'll try another hotel.
