Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG
Room Temperatur at Arrival was set at 65 degrees. At night, we could not sleep because the AC was blasting at our bed and was extremly loud. Breakfast area was so hot that they set up huge and very loud fans blasting at you. Will never stay at Holiday Inn again!
