Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin North Central by IHG
Microwaves and minifridges in every room, free breakfast included
About this hotel
This Holiday Inn Express keeps costs down while still including breakfast, an outdoor pool and full-service laundry, useful for a family or business traveler watching a fixed budget or per-diem. Microwaves and minifridges in every room let guests store and reheat their own food, a real saving over a full week of restaurant meals along US-183. A ten-minute taxi ride to the Texas Capitol gives guests an occasional downtown Austin option, and free parking rounds out a property built around value rather than upscale finishes, on a corridor built mostly around convenience rather than atmosphere, which matters more here than it might in a denser part of the city, especially for guests who value predictability over surprises on a work trip.
- Free breakfast
- In-room kitchenette items
- Laundry service
Our take
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin North Central puts a microwave and a minifridge in every room and includes breakfast, which is why I would suggest it to families and business travellers watching their budget. Full-service laundry helps on a longer stay, the outdoor pool covers hot afternoons, and Wi-Fi is free. Family and business-ready rooms are available, but the listing names no restaurant or bar. Guests rate it 7.8 across 965 reviews.
- Use the in-room microwave and minifridge to cut a night or two of restaurant costs from the trip.
- Do laundry on-site rather than packing for the full length of a longer stay.
- Take the ten-minute taxi to the Texas Capitol for an occasional downtown outing without a downtown hotel budget.
