We stayed at this Holiday Inn Express as we had family at University Hospital not to far away, the accommodations were fine, but every time we entered the hotel and walked to the elevator the smell of chlorine just about knocked us out, I have stayed at several hotels with indoor pools and this is not something I normally encounter....

I took my kids there for their spring break only to get our room broken into. The night manager lied and said "this has never happened here before." Lies, lies, all lies!!! They stole my baby IPAD 2 and several items I had bought on my shopping trip in San Marcos the day before. Now the hotel is saying they... More

We stayed here Wednesday, March 14th - Friday, March 16th. This was during Texas Spring Break. We booked our room on Hotwire. For whatever reason, via Hotwire I could not select room type. There were 2 adults & (1) 5 year old in our party. We were booked in a king size room. Since they were sold out, we had... More

This trip was for my sons Air Force graduation. The location to Lackland Air Force base is about 10 min. Plenty of fast food and sit down restaurants. It's in a good location and not in a sketchy area. The gentlemen that works in the afternoon (Robert) is awesome, great guy and will do anything he can to help you,... More

Our whole family stayed here for our son's Air Force basic training graduation. From the instant we arrived the manager greeted us and was extremely accommodating. The girls at the desks were very helpful as well. At breakfast, the manager was out talking to everyone and asking if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again!

My children and I stayed here one night prior to visiting Sea World the next day. We were welcomed by a very informed front deck clerk who was extremely helpful in finding a place close to eat. (Didn't want to face 410 again after a long drive.) The beds were comfortable and the internet was faster than the pricier resort... More

This hotel is close to seaworld and that's the only reason to give it any stars at all. The rooms smelled bad, appeared to have questionable cleanliness and were simply run down. Easily the worst holidayinn express I have ever stayed at. We will stay somewhere else on our next seaworld trip. This place is a dump.

Great hotel, location and friendly staff. The breakfast was very good, love the cinnamon rolls! We only stayed one night to go shopping in the area, but we would stay again in the future.
