Location good for traveling through Houston
We chose this Holiday Inn Express for it's location on our drive through Houston. It is right next to the freeway and as we had a room on the back of the hotel, the noise did not bother us at all. Check in staff was very wecoming, the room was clean, and the decor very nice. The down side, our room was very noisy. Whenever the water was used in the adjoining room, the plumbing made a thumping sound. Also, the mattress was very, very firm and the pillows were quite lumpy. The breakfast was so-so. Coffee was delicious, the eggs crusted on top and watery throughout, bacon was over done, and the bananas were bruised and mushy. They also offer a selection of bagels, muffins, signature cinnamon rolls, yogurt, pancakes and a variety of cereal which are all very good. Some reviews stated that the neighborhood was questionable. We were hesitant but when we arrived there just wasn't anything to be concerned about. So there are good and not so good features of this hotel. Although we love Holiday Inn Express, we would chose another place to stay the next time we are traveling through town.
