This hotel has several advantages, one of which is free on-site parking. The staff is friendly, and the rooms are consistently clean and comfortable. Additionally, it is conveniently located right next to the trail and close to Rainey Street. The gym is well-equipped for a good workout. I really enjoyed my stay here and will keep coming back because of the excellent amenities, great location, and helpful staff.

This is a good hotel on a budget. It’s in need of fresh paint and a good power washing. However the location is excellent and view of town lake made the grit bearable. Parking is also free and convenient.

Needs improvement.

The stay was okay. The location is great when it comes to convenience since it is super close to downtown, has some food trucks next to it for food and a small gas station. Its also close to lady bird lake for walks. When it comes to the Hotel it has a lot of room for improvement specially with other hotels with a lower rate and same or bettervconditions. Both elevators for the right wing need maintenance as they shake a lot when going up. The pool is surprisingly super clean but small and short, great for kids. The parking has poor lighting but lots of space. The rooms have good comfortable beds but the lighting isnt the best, i had to open the curtains to get good lighting. The shower has the same issue with very poor lighting and the toilet wont frush at times. The microwave worked great as well the coffee maker but the fridge wasnt working for us. Also the view from the room was blocked by the left wing of the hotel so you can see your neighbors and they can see you but can barely see the lady bird lake. Overall the hotel fulfilled its purposes of having a place to sleep but i would recommend to look for something more updated/nicer for the pretty penny youre paying.

When checking in at 3:30 they still didn’t know if a room was clean, if Im paying to check in at 3 there should be 0 excuses. Checking out on Sunday the person was very dismissive and we still had 1 question.

Great location for Austin leisure stay

Holiday Inn - Townlake is a great location for leisure stays right on Lady Bird lake in Austin. It has convenient back door access to Austin's famous boardwalk and river pathways that makes it very attractive for long stays. It also has lake access points for kayak launches, which becomes useful if you're planning sunset tours for bat watching. Daily hot breakfast keeps rotating the menu too, and can become a brunch too as it is open till 11 AM. You'll find lime scooters and rental bikes right outside hotel, even though it's not sold by IHG. A couple food trucks sit next to hotel as well which makes it late night food option. Overall, it's definitely recommended hotel for leisure stays IF you can find good pricing deals, compared to a lot of nearby properties.
